One of the most well-known astro-physicists in United States, Neil deGrasse Tyson, shared his thoughts on Interstellar through twitter. And in contrast to what many critics think, Tyson seems pretty okay with the science shown in the film. I would argue, he is impressed, even. Now, whether you want to believe an astro-physicist or a critic on a film like ‘Interstellar’, I would leave that up to you, but as far as I am concerned, I was dazzled, amazed and challenged by Interstellar (as I wrote in my review here). The below tweets are Tyson’s view on Interstellar, but if you want to read my take on science and logic of Interstellar, you can read it here.

In #Interstellar, if you didn’t understand the physics, try Kip Thorne’s highly readable Bbook “The Science of Interstellar” — Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) November 10, 2014
In #Interstellar, if you didn’t understand the plot, there is no published book to help you.

REMINDER: Never look to me for opinions on new films. All I do is highlight the science one might or might not find in them. — Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) November 10, 2014
