Christopher Nolan seems like a pretty smart guy. It must have crossed his mind at some point. Plus, the ship's engines don't appear to use propellant - they use the standard sci fi "eeire blue glow" trope. Seems like antimatter is the best explanation to me.

  > Christopher Nolan seems like a pretty smart guy. It must have crossed his mind at some point. Also, he had Kip Thorne as an advisor. I remember criticism of the "slow-time planet" (including by Bad Astronomy) being shot down by Kip pointing out he actually calculated it as an edge-case solution for a specific rotating black hole.
