Reviews for Supernova
It's hard to watch Supernova without recalling that wonderful Israeli definition of a camel - a horse that's been assembled by a committee.
You can either get angry at having part of your night wasted, or you can heartily laugh and make fun of it on the drive home from the theater.
…a flatulent space bomb. There may not be air in outer space, but you can smell this one a galaxy away.
Appears headed for a deep-space rendezvous with audience indifference.
Often, it can be argued that there's the kernel of a good story buried somewhere in a bad screenplay. Not here.
Supernova is so absolutely traditional that it voyages into the realm of idiocy.
'It's a bomb!' Dr. Evers gasps when she first realizes the potential power of the alien force. Any audience member will agree whole-heartedly.
