Summary: Nothings Perfect - So Stop Your Bitching!
Review: I think people who like SciFi movies better start remembering the old days when movies and TV shows had horrible special effects. Feel free to go back to watching Lost In Space reruns, if you don't like this movie. Granted the story was pretty standard and the action a little slow at times. I myself don't like the standard hollywood ending they stuck on this picture, but they did provide a creepy bad guy and a couple of good heroes. I thought the special effects were pretty good too.

Summary: Abort Mission!
Review: James Spader really hit the weight room and protein powder for his role in Supernova. You have to hand it to him: He gives his all to even the most mediocre movies.

Supernova offers us a familiar story. Intergalactic cruiser receives mysterious distress call from a distant mining colony...should they investigate, or not? Naturally, this is always a no-brainer: Should they not investigate, there would be no movie.

They investigate... Naturally, they all come to realize that they should not have answered the distress call. Improbable, and gratuitous relationships are pointedly developed at the expense of original plot or characters. Movie is so muddled and poorly developed, it's no surprise that Walter Hill took his name off it (he goes by his "nom de dreadful-movie", Thomas Lee).

Summary: Yawn - Good effects, Absent story
Review: The only thing this movie really has to recommend it are the effects and Peter Facinelli's b*lls out performance. You won't recognize him as the confused teen from "Can't Hardly Wait."

Kinda like "Sphere" in that the crew picks up and is menaced by the effects of a strange alien device (can you say, "2001," boy and girls?) There is also a shipboard computer, "Sweetie," that is getting real human feelings. Awww.

Angela Bassett doesn't have a role here, but she's very good.

Summary: Better than event Horizon
Review: I starve for sci-fi, and yes there is much to be desired from hollywood. But come on Event was good but why must all sci fi end up turning into stupid horror or religion and not stick to science. More SFX than event, contact, etc great sound, acting WAS good, Spader was great. Change your mind set and relax, If you liked event with its stupid horror this was as good with better SFX. A keeper. Good psycological banter. If you want pure sci fi get Hawkings Universe.

Summary: Chessy Sci-fiWhere's the Supernova?I want a better movie!
Review: This movie is a very bad example of bad sci-fi! Also where is the Supernova?Supernova was so bad I fell asleep watching it on the big screen!if you like cheesy sci-fi then buy this movie.Also why the different rating on DVD?The people in this movie have been better movies than this crap!Robert Forster was great in "The Black Hole"(also on DVD here at Amazon !) James Spader was OK in "Stargate" and the rest of the should of did a different movie altogether! Supernova is more abou the EMT crew on a spaceship in outer space.They find a madman,The madman kill everyone aboard (leaving Spader and some else!) This movie has lots of Violence for it's rating(maybe that why the DVD is rated R?) and nudity like James Spaders butt.I know there other examples of the nudity/violence that would given this bomb from MGM a R rating!

Also who in Hollywood green lights these chessy Sci-fi movies?I've seen/read bette "Doctor Who" books/videos than this crude!Whoever green lights this stuff must be very rich to see a lot of money for just special effects and no story(or in this case lack of story) For better sci-fi watch "ID4"."Stargate","Total Recall","Escape from New York/LA","Armaggedon", and the"Star Wars"Trilogy, the list is endless! i gave a few examples of some of my favorite sci-fi movies for starters! So if you want to see this be forewarned it's a real stinker,bomb, flop or whatever really bad movies are called nowadays!I will only buy this movie if the reviews here get better after the DVD is out to rent/buy!I can only hope the people here read the reviews before buying this lame movie!If my review was a least helpful to someone out there my warning about this movie will at least help some souls in there quest for DVD to buy at Amazon! Good luck with promoting this title!it's gonna need a lot to get it fly off video store shelfs!

Summary: Studio Executive Hell
Review: Yes here we are again folks...a crowd of studio executives all of whom wish to be both writers and directors take a film from the hands of Walter Hill and create another mishmash of lunacy and boredom. Oh and did you see the trailer for this rubbish? Whoever did the music should be taken out and hung with his stomach lining. [...]

Summary: Great movie!
Review: This movie was awesome, 2nd to the best sci-fi movie of year 1999, 1st being Pitch Black. The trailer of this movie was a bit deceiving, after seeing it, it was a lot better then I thought. The special effects was excellent, the story was entertaining and interesting, the characters were good but there wasn't a whole lot of action. This is difinitely a movie worth getting in my collection.

Summary: Good, but not a 5-star
Review: It's a good sci-fi movie about a hospital ship and it's six crew members who answer an emergency call from another galaxy. The guy they rescue stole an alien artifact. The crew is in danger of the man and in danger of being pulled into a star that is becoming a supernova.

This movie stars James Spader and Angela Bassett. It also stars the Oscar nominated (for Jackie Brown) Robert Forster as the captain of the ship. It also features Peter Facinelli, Robin Tunney, and Wilson Cruz.

I would recomend this to anybody who likes a good sci-fi movie.

Summary: Predicatable, Repetive, and Dull Sci-Fi Movie
Review: Supernova. Judging from the title, this movie sounds pretty cool. The preview was interesting so I decided to check it out. I entered the theater expecting so much. I left 7 bucks poorer and with two less hours in my day. This movie was a waste of time. The special effects were decent, the plot was average, but extremely predicatble and very boring in most places. The music got repetive and dull with poorly written scores. Another problem i had was the camera angles. They were positioned very poorly and made for confusing action sequences. When this movie was over, the few people left in the theater groaned in disapointment and left. Bottom line, I wanted to like this movie, but it was poorly done in nearly every category. Unless you have way to much free time, steer clear of Supernova.

Summary: Ugh..Terrible!
Review: If this isn't the worst movie,it's so close to it. It's truly pointless and very confusing because it has no story line. The whole movie almost,except for like 30 minutes in the end,revolves around sex in space. The last 30 minutes were OK but,that is all it was,ok. The rest of the movie was terrible. I went to see it and i wanted to leave after the first 10 minutes but,i stayed thinking "This is starting out slow and boring but it MUST get better." an hour passed,it was the same. I do NOT recommend this movie because i would not want others to go through what i did (I.E. almost falling asleep and wasting time.) ~If i could give this movie no stars,i would...~
