I went back to re-watched a few selected scenes and still find myself captivated by the fidelity, realism, and interactions playing out on different scales: the silence of space, filled to suspense by the powerful, atmospheric music; the delicacy of the orbital maneuvers and docking sequences in which everything is decided by a couple of degrees and meters; time dilation that stretch hours into decades; gravity that shape tidal forces on Miller's planet; gravitational lensing on approaching Gargantua.
I wouldn't find a person interesting if he or she simply brush the movie off without even considering the possibilities. The movie is a good litmus test on people's ability to accept and work with abstract ideas. And I believe the more abstract concepts that we are able to hold in our minds, the broader our bandwidth for understanding.
