Product Description

Amazon.ca

Filmmakers apparently count on the fact that generational turnover renders old formulas fresh again for new audiences. Which is the only explanation for this sci-fi thriller, which could kindly be called an homage to Ridley Scott's trendsetting Alien. A medical rescue ship responds to a distress call from a mining colony and finds only one survivor: a strange young man (Peter Facinelli), who comes aboard carrying an even stranger alien artifact. But the plot of this film, which was directed and then disowned by Walter Hill, grows confused as it tries to explain the sinister force that will lead to a star going to supernova status, causing a universe-shattering explosion. Some nice sexual tension between James Spader (as a recovering drug addict who is the ship's copilot) and Angela Bassett (as the ship's doctor). Notable mostly, however, for the eerie resemblance, both physical and vocal, between Facinelli and Tom Cruise. --Marshall Fine

5.0 out of 5 stars Great sci-fi space movie Feb 17 2006
By R. Kirk
Format:DVD
I was expecting another middle-of-the-road sci-fi film. But this film was great! Great special effects, super plot, and very good acting. I was on the edge of my seat watching this entire film. Actually, I felt like I was in space with them.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not As Bad As They Say Feb 10 2005
By Scifihorrorfan
Format:DVD
I was expecting to see a terrible movie, like Battlefield Earth terrible. But this film was actually well-done. The story was suspenseful and the acting was great. Too bad Robert Forester's role isn't as big as it could have been. First he was in Black Hole, then he's in Supernova. I wonder what solar-related sci-fi film he'll be in next? :)
This film is worth checking out. Even after all the negative hype, it's 1 1/2 hrs well-spent.

1.0 out of 5 stars Almost unwatchable sci-fi turkey Jan 3 2004
By Cartimand
Format:VHS Tape
This blatently derivative (hat tip to Ridley Scott's Alien, with a hint of Stanley Donen's Saturn 3 thrown in) movie should surely win the award for the most irritatingly gratuitous over-use of strobe lighting ever. This makes it extremely uncomfortable to watch and is, presumably, employed to detract from the lack of any genuine thrills. Throw in a ridiculously precocious ship's computer and a downright silly robot, and this adds up to one helluva big turkey in space. James Spader and Angela Bassett do their best to make something out of an inadequate script and plot, but this is unremittingly dreadful and dull. The "happy ever after" finale will probably make you cringe in its corniness. Supernova's only redeeming factor is that it is very short.

3.0 out of 5 stars Angela Bassett is the Best!
Supernova starts out as a cool voyage through space. All the while I was thinking I'd see something new. The first thirty minutes was pretty routine. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars it's bad, but it isn't even funny
What's the biggest crime? a bad movie you can't even laugh at.
Normally when you go to the cinema, buy or rent a [bad] movie, the least you can expect it is to be funny! Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Uhhh.....what?
I won't even mention the plot of the movie in my review because I'm not really sure what that plot is. This movie is not just badly written or acted, not that I could tell. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Buff Spader!!!!
Okay, okay, so the movie [is a little bad], and the dialogue is atrociously stilted.....still, James Spader in full buffed up, muscular mode is worth the cost of the dvd!! Read more
