Reviews for Supernova
Top Criticsimple, but well paced.
01/01/00
A Frankenstein monster, with more obvious story patches, post-dubbed exposition, and missing money shots than most straight-to-video fare.
01/01/00
Top CriticDesarrolla prácticamente el mismo guión que otras realizaciones de ciencia ficción recientes

Top CriticA victim of Sphere syndrome.
01/01/00
Most reminiscent of certain old Star Trek episodes, the especially horny ones in which Kirk spent most of his time in his quarters with some busty alien.

Supernova is boring.

A super bore.

Top CriticAs lost as the audience gets, no one in the auditorium can come close to the bewilderment exhibited by the cast.

A perfectly enjoyable sci-fi thriller.

Top CriticNot a good movie by any stretch of the imagination.
01/01/00
Incredibly choppy.
01/01/00
a half-baked science fiction rip-off that manages to be both excruciatingly simplistic and utterly incoherent at the same time
