Sci-fi films have become increasingly thoughtful and scientifically plausible over the past decades--at least since Contact. Arrival, for instance, is a quantum improvement over the death-ray days of the 1950s and the cowboys-in-space Star Wars movies of the 1970s onward. (2001 was far ahead of its time; the shoot-'em-up, death-ray Ender's Game was retrograde.) Interstellar is perhaps the most scientifically accurate of these latest entries, and intellectually expansive enough that you'll probably need more than one viewing to appreciate what's been accomplished here. Naturally, if you'd like to be entertained with non-stop action, Interstellar is not the movie for you.
