Neil deGrasse Tyson Was Pretty Happy With 'Interstellar'

A lot of people had problems with the science presented in Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar," but not Neil deGrasse Tyson. The renowned astrophysicist used his Twitter account to praise many aspects of the new film on Sunday night, including its representation of scientists. Warning: Some spoilers ahead.

His tweets alone have made me a little bit interested in seeing this film. Doubt i will though. But he has me interested.
