Murky and dull.

A perfectly enjoyable sci-fi thriller.

Avoid.

A Frankenstein monster, with more obvious story patches, post-dubbed exposition, and missing money shots than most straight-to-video fare.

A mission that should have been aborted long ago.

Looks and moves like a film whose vital organs were yanked before shooting commenced.

If the 20 minutes of deleted scenes on the DVD had been inserted back into the actual film, Supernova would have been much better.

...the supernova business is only a tiny fraction of the movie's story line, just enough, I suppose, to justify its title.

Hill disciples will no doubt find it a fascinating film.

a half-baked science fiction rip-off that manages to be both excruciatingly simplistic and utterly incoherent at the same time

Audience Reviews for Supernova

It looks like very few people like "Supernova." A spaceship that is carrying a crew of people that are involved in the medical field, picks up a mysterious drifter named Karl (Peter Facinelli). Karl is a mystery by himself, but he brought along an equally mysterious space artifact. Will Karl and this strange object prove to be a help to the medical crew, or is danger closer to being the word? I don't see where "Supernova" is that bad of a movie to be honest. Sure, it's bigtime cliched and it doesn't have a spectacular cast or acting (except by Angela Bassett), but nonetheless, it's an interesting movie with good special effects. For awhile at the beginning, it's a little slow paced and not that exciting, but once a certain enemy starts rampaging, "Supernova" gets a lot more interesting. If you like sci-fi movies in the least sense, I recommend at least watching "Supernova." Even though it's not the most original film ever made, it's not that bad. NOTE: That was my Amazon review from the year 2001.
