Review of Supernova

Supernova (I) (2000)
1/10
I love a good sci-fi flick. This wasn't it.
14 January 2000
It looked like an exciting premise...

It was a bad movie, having next to nothing to do with the "Supernova" of the title. An alien artifact... a hopped up Gen-Xer... and enough steel-grey sets to make Lost in Space look colorful.

I can't blame it on the actors... they did what they could with dull writing, horrible direction, and a plot that was part 90210, and part Star Trek - Next Generation.

They had a real movie here, lurking somewhere way back in the early drafts of the script... but it seems like they plugged in all the "right" parts to make a Hollywood movie. A little gratuitous sex, a little jealousy... a lot of shirtless people, naked for no particular reason..

And toss in enough plot holes and head scratchers to make you bald...

And what have you got? A bad movie.

Don't blame the actors. Pity them. They tried hard.

But don't see this movie. Not even if it's free. Rent Blade Runner, or a Star Wars flick, or a Star Trek movie...
