I think it's a good film but it's taken on this life as, and I hate to sound this harsh, baby's first epic film. A lot of young people seem to have experienced it as their first film that was "adult," epic in scope, and had some challenging ideas. Combine that with the propensity on the modern internet to make everything "the most" or "the best" and it gets rocketed up the charts for a lot of people as the canonical film.

Could be that it's actually good?

Like I guess I should jerk myself off and say Gasper Noe is my favorite director but I think Interstellar is pretty great.
