‘Interstellar’ overpowers with scope, demands rewatch

Immense hype surrounded Christopher Nolan’s “Interstellar” in the weeks before its release: critics hailed it as (potentially) the first great space-travel epic since Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey.” Nolan even hired theoretical physicist Kip Thorne as a consultant to make every detail as scientifically accurate as possible. Certainly, the research shows, but the science of “Interstellar,” while impressively mind-boggling, is second to Nolan’s exploration of the most selfless (and selfish) aspects of humanity.
