Review: This movie is horrible. I hated every minute of it. Being an avid science fiction fan i had high hopes for this film, but was horribly let down. Skip this one altogether.

Summary: BEWARE !! CAUTION !! ACHTUNG !!!! AVOID AT ALL COSTS !!!
Review: Was everyone sleeping during the shooting of this film ? What was the edition guy doing whne time came to do the editing ? Was the director on vacation ?? How the studio permitted this to goe on I cannot explain. This movie is so bad, the screenplay so full of holes, the acting so atrocious, I'm out of words... The "slowest" sci-fi movie I've ever watched....

Summary: Wow, this movie is bad...
Review: which surprises me that it didn't get any Razzie nominations. It's not as dead dull as Highlander: Endgame, but it makes Battlefield Earth almost look good in comparison. What we have here is an idiotic, boring, and absolutely ineptly edited sci-fi "thriller" that fails to produce genuine tension. For that matter, there's not even a decent special effect or intriguing setting to go along with the terrible story. Now, I enjoy science fiction. I loved Pitch Black and Mission to Mars (both are 4.5-star sci-fi entertainment). I found Battlefield Earth a brain-dead cacophony but fun on a very campy level (around 2.5 stars I would give this one). Supernova, however, is so bad in its execution of all its ideas, action scenes, and sex scenes (you read that right) it all becomes a headache after a while. Speaking of headache, director Thomas Lee (make that Walter Hill), for some unexplained reason, feels obligated to direct nearly half the movie in Blair Witch style along with a lot of sideways camera shots, making the tilted angles in Battlefield Earth look reasonable in comparison. To go along with that is some truly awful editing. One scene features the villain, played pitifully by Peter Facinelli (who, incidentally, looks like a cross between Tom Cruise, Chris O'Donnell, and Matthew McConnoughey), punching Lou Diamond Phillips and presumably crushing his skull. But what we get is Facinelli's fists just touching Phillips' temples, then a quick transition to Phillips getting his body dumped into outer space. It's ludicrous!The script doesn't help matters, either. This is the kind of schlock B-movie fans would like if it didn't take itself so seriously. There's plenty of plot holes, too, like why a rescue ship would have only 6 transportation chambers (they have a 6 person crew). What would do with the people they rescued? Then, as if through some sort of mistake, it's stated they have 7 chambers by the computer near the end of the film. There's more, but you get the point. This is a film to avoid.

Summary: SUPER FAILURE ...
Review: Oh, My ....I like James Spader and Angela Basset. But what were they doing in this crap of a film ? THis faked attempt to do a science-fiction movie is horribel, a real mess, a real candidate to the tittle os worst film of 2000 ( for sure, at least the worst science fiction of 2000 ). The plot and screenplay are awful, but what really surprised me is the incredible poor acting of Spader and Basset. Maybe it was the hand of the director, I don't know ... After "BATS", I also hoped that Lou Diamond Philiips would choose better his next jobs, but it seems he wants to stick in B movies definitely.

Summary: SUPER WHAT ?!!!!
Review: I think even 9,94 is a huge price for a garbage like that. Spader and Basset give probably the worst performances of their lifes, confusing the interpretation os serious characters with acting like androids or robots !!! The plot is a shame to the genre. This would work, at his best, as a TV movie. Í regret the fact that I spent ninety minutes watching it, hoping all the while that it would improve. It didn't.

Summary: RIDICULOUS ..
Review: James Spader's comeback is somewhat embarassing ... THis movie is so mean ( and I have to tell I love science-fiction )that I almost could not believe it. It seems Basset and Spader are the robot. The robot himself has more feelings and acting skills than both of them !!! The movie is out of rhythm, the plot is a joke, the "villain" scares no one, the mysterious artifact is not mysterious at all, but just inexplicable. Sad attempt to copy "ALIEN" and other classics ...

Summary: Some excitement, but not nearly enough.
Review: Though it's an overused plot device, the film does begin in a semi-intriguing fashion, with a medical ship responding to an S.O.S. call. Plus, James Spader makes a likeable hero and Robin Tunney is fairly sexy. Yet, once Peter Facinelli appears the film becomes a bore for the next 50 or so minutes. It isn't until the last half-hour that the film manages to pick up some sign of life and feature something exciting, but it's not enough to salvage the film. For much better sci-fi films, check out Event Horizon, Pitch Black, or Mission to Mars.

Summary: Unbelievable Bad, Not a Redeeming Feature to be Found.
Review: Some Movies Start off good, get boring in the middle and Great towards the end. Some are Great all the way through and Anti-Climatic at the End. "Supernova" is Boring at the start, Tedious in the middle and Excruciating at the Climax. It has no up's and down's, it is Constant Cinematic Boredom. How such a Talented cast got roped into this mess is beyond Comprehension, thinking about it has kept me sleepless many a night. You can Definately tell that this movie has been chopped to pieces, at some points it feels as if the director has taken stock footage from other Sci-Fi films and tried to make a Coherent film, he has failed miserably. I'm am getting far too angry, this review is Over.

Summary: *rolls eyes*
Review: This movie is not that bad...I saw it in the theater three times and when it came out on DVD I bought it. Granted, I'm sure my love of b-movies (Python, Spiders, Komodo, any Full Moon movie) may have contributed to my liking for this movie, but still...it's not that bad! Angela Bassett is quite sassy as the ship's mysterious doctor...she's an excellent actress. The DVD version is even better because it adds the deleted scenes that, when watched, allow the movie to be better and deeper than the final cut turned out to be. I found this movie to be exciting and suspenseful and it's really NOT BAD!

Summary: This is it!!
Review: Recently, somebody asked me "What was the worst film to come out in the year 2000?" Hmmm... I had to think for a minute. I ruled out the standard Roger Corman-esque garbage, I was thinking about films that were "honest" attempts at film making with lofty goals but were miserable failures. SuperNova is such a film. Lots of special effects and plenty of senseless violence are the highlights of this lowbrow piece of film. Calling it a work of science fiction is an insult to the genre. Also, the acting was questionable at best, I half expected to see wires sticking out of James Spader's neck since his performance was so wooden. Note to the Special Effects Dept.: "TURN THE LIGHTS DOWN!" Glare is not a real nifty special effect. I went to see this garbage at the movie theatre, stupidly believing that it would be good solely based on the hype. Bad idea.
