Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson is widely known for incorporating his background as an astrophysicist into pop culture thanks to his hosting duties of Cosmos, TV appearances and interviews, and, more notably, his Twitter account. Last year, he took on Alfonso Cuaron's sci-fi film, Gravity, explaining how a lot of the movie didn't match up with actual science. So what did he have to say about Christopher Nolan's recent movie, Interstellar, which tackles space travel, black holes and pretty much everything else within Tyson's wheelhouse? Check out his Twitter "review" below!

The astrophysicist wants all to make sure that they don't take his tweets about the movie too seriously, and definitely not as a real review of the film.
"REMINDER: Never look to me for opinions on new films," he stated. "All I do is highlight the science one might or might not find in them."
While you might be expecting some negative reviews from the scientist, deGrasse Tyson's criticisms soon turned to praise as his series of comments went on. Take a look at some of these tweets below!
