non-IMAX scenes were indeed pretty bad...mostly on Earth so you don't miss out on too much details.

i'd rate the movie 7/10...i may appreciate it more on subsequent viewings esp the last 45 minutes. I applaud Nolan for trying to take tackle themes of this scale...but I don't think he'll ever top Memento for coherence and artistic style. I've noticed The Dark Knight Rises and this one the last 45 min feels too rushed and suffers feature creep as he tries to cram too much shit in for that epiphany factor.

Spoiler!

Didn't Dr. Brand (Caine) already figure out gravity 40 years ago or was that Matt Damon simply lying? What exactly did Cooper convey to Murphy that helped her solve all of man kind's problem?

Spoiler!

You're correct- Old Dr. Brand solved his form of the equation decades ago, but essentially "as best he could". The solution to get the stations off the ground required quantum data not accessible to anyone on earth. Basically, it's only available "from inside the singularity" aka the core of the black hole. That data from TARS was recorded when the two went into Gargantua, and that's what was relayed via morse to the watch for Murph.
