yes, I think you kinda dig what im saying though, I never thought about the two films sharing similar parent love themes.

Definitely not your average sci fi crap, for sure.
I LOVE sci-fi in literature. Most styles and and sub genres and mini-movements and variations as well. I also love Fantasy, though somewhat less consistently. But sci-fi films are tough to pull off. They either have to be GREAT or they kinda suck. Occasionally greatness comes in the form of an odd, challenging, and maybe even a little bit stupid sleeper hit or cult flick. These films can end up being as great as the GREAT ones, but most sci-fi films make terrible decisions and end up in the "suck" category.
I agree fully that Interstellar was completely free of the gimmicky franchise pushing crap and the over-stated action-only payoffs that plague so many of these films. It's much more 2001: A Space Odyssey than Event Horizon or Fifth Element (though both those movies certainly have their fan hordes)
I'm glad you liked it. I would have pumped that film full of Oscar gold if I'd been whoever the fuck was minding the academy shop this year. Useless fucks. GREAT movie.
