They published Interstellar?!?
From the Interstellar wikipedia page: The resulting visual effects provided Thorne with new insight into the gravitational lensing and accretion disks surrounding black holes, resulting in the publication of three scientific papers.[71][72][73]

The paper does state that no astrophysical insights were gained, more insights on how to produce pretty yet accurate images. But still, cool!
It's a good movie!
No, it's really not.
Christopher Nolan's screenplays tend to be hit or miss, and Interstellar is deep in the "miss" category
That's like, your opinion man.
Interstellar is a great movie
The story is a complete mess that hinges on every scientist involved being extremely incompetent
Interstellar is the sort of movie that would have done a lot better in the hands of a director like Spielberg. Nolan's dry, clinical, super grounded approach is unspeakably jarring in a movie whose ultimate thesis is that love is a kind of fundamental force. It wants to be a magic-realist fantasy, but Nolan tries to treat it like a pseudo-documentary.
It’s kind of simultaneously hit and miss for me.
I crode so hard.....
You can see a very distinct before/after Interstellar whenever black holes are depicted in media. Prior to Interstellar, black holes were depicted like whirlpools even though Jean-Pierre Luminet generated an image in the 1970s that shows gravitational lensing.
