Interstellar was condescending!?

"Interstellar" was an excellent film, physicists who haven't learned to suspend disbelief may have trouble enjoying it.

A friend of mine who is a physicist said he literally got up halfway through the movie, yelled "Fuck this" and walked out.

EDIT: Another physicist friend sat through it, but he said in his defense he was drunk and fell asleep.

I don't work as a physicist (but I got my degree in Engineering Physics @ CU-Boulder, 2009) and I went to see Interstellar in IMAX on opening night. I really enjoyed it overall, and the scenes involving the realistically-rendered black hole were worth it alone.

I'm relatively easy to please when it comes to movies, but to each their own of course.

I'd probably be more inclined to use a word like pretentious. I actually liked Inception quite a bit but didn't much care for Interstellar.

That’s the word I was looking for

Ah damn I thought that was before Inception. Although, yeah, it kinda was.
