Nolan seems to cop a bit of a beating from critics and Internet loud mouths at times for pretty nitpicky stuff. In the age of the reboot/sequel/remake/prequel, I applaud anyone who makes original, interesting, technically impressive movies even if they have a few flaws (I do see a slight irony in that comment since Nolan made three Batman movies). I thoroughly enjoyed Interstellar as well.
Zimmer is God; plain and simple. Score had my heartbeat racing while nobody was talking. I enjoyed that the dialogue was muted. Didn't need a lot of talking to carry the story. The quiet understanding of the English soldier and the French soldier who were just simply trying to survive and how they looked out for each other without even speaking. Just a simple look or a nod was all they needed to communicate because they were always thinking the same thing. Nolan pretty much had me at Memento and now his name is all I need to know about a movie in determining if I will see it.
