2001 was hardly an art film. Its a hardcore sci fi film. Contact and Solaris are hardcore sci fi films and Interstellar follows the same. In terms of Sci Fi, its up there with Contact and on par with 2001. In terms of cinematography, I doubt anyone can match Kubrick regardless of the technology used.Interstellar..
while I am not right now in a position to review this film, as I just finished watching it, I'll this about Nolan.
He's a masterful film maker and has easily surpassed many other Hollywood directors.
I don't think his attempt was to create something scientific or greatly philosophical or imaginative as is expected mostly from sci fi films. he's tried to give meanings to stuff that we deal with everyday life like love..or time using a different premises and has done a wonderful job at that.
I don't think this can be compared either to 2001 or any other space exploration art films. (apples and oranges).
This reminds me mostly of Contact and Solaris (another great film nobody will ever care to see or debate).

I see the infuence of a lot of Clerk's Space Oddissy series in Interstellar but it could be because the books covered the same topics first.
All in all, its a great Sci Fi movie.
