It feels like it's taken forever, but Christoper Nolan's ridiculously-anticipated sci-fi blockbuster Interstellar finally hits cinemas today worldwide, and while critics generally agree that the movie isn't among the director's finest work (currently sitting at a solid-if-not-great 70% on Rotten Tomatoes), even its detractors will surely concede that it's a staggeringly original, imaginative sci-fi vision.
