A huge problem with the majority of Nolan's recent movies is that he can rarely find a way to massage exposition into his scripts in a way that feels organic and natural. Inception was a particularly bad example, and though the movie was ingenious enough to survive it, it still stuck out like a sore thumb. At least Inception had an everyman-type character in the form of Ellen Page's Ariadne, while audiences aren't quite so lucky in Interstellar. Even Cooper's engineer character is clearly a smart, learned man of science, and so to see Romilly explaining a black hole to him with a pencil and a piece of paper like he's a child seems a little weird. Granted, a lot of the science in this movie just isn't explained to those who don't know it already, but the information that is doled out for audiences is done in a totally relentless and patently un-cinematic way. It's basically, "here's an info dump, deal with it."
