Chances are, if you saw Christopher Nolan’s newest sci-fi thriller Interstellar this weekend, you were blown away.
But what do real scientists think of it--namely, Hollywood’s most outspoken cosmologist, Neil deGrasse Tyson?
Aside from a string of tweets, which we’ve included below, watch his feedback from the “CBS This Morning” earlier today. Don’t worry, there are no spoilers, and he remains purely scientific on the topic.
"Never look to me for opinions on new films,” he tweeted. “All I do is highlight the science one might or might not find in them.”
Let’s just say, he seemed to enjoy Interstellar more than he did Gravity.
