I heard that the interior gets a revamp.

A complete re-build, in fact, while the external prop has been re-dressed so it looks as the TARDIS appeared in the original pilot episode in 1963 (which wasn't even broadcast at the time).
The production reason for doing it is that the 2005 set wasn't intended to be shot in HD, and so had to be replaced out of necessity, as it's all going to be shot in HD from now on.
There has been much speculation over the in-universe reason for the new set, but it would appear to have something to do with the Doctor trying to resist the regeneration process.

I think that was quite deliberate. They have referenced numerous sci-fi films and shows in the past.

All in all an enjoyable watch, dragged the ending out a bit though!

I don't think so - I think it was a well thought out approach to regeneration. He had a few minutes' warning that his time was up, so he took the chance to cram in as much as he could. In a way it was also an antidote to the somewhat decadent adventures he said he went on before returning to the Oodsphere at the beginning of this story.
