Are you still trying to wrap your head around the end of Christopher Nolan's latest? Not to worry, as you are not alone. The end of INTERSTELLAR has people talking regarding whether or not they liked it from a storytelling perspective or even if it was scientifically sound. When astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson took to Twitter to give his opinions on the film, he mostly agreed with the science of what Christopher Nolan and Co. put on screen. How about the ending, though? Suffice it to say that there are some major spoilers regarding the end of INTERSTELLAR in this video so if you haven't seen the flick yet, I would advise against checking out the rest of this article! You have been warned!

It's arguable whether or not time would be laid out for Matthew McConaughey's character like it is in the film, but Tyson seems to acknowledge that. Arguable does not mean impossible. Who's to say how traveling in the dimension of time may work and even if it's contoured to the story a bit, at the very least it just needs to be understood by the audience on a basic level. Now whether or not it's satisfying from a storytelling perspective is up to you.

INTERSTELLAR is now in theaters.
