Reviews

Amazon.co.uk Review
The makers of Supernova are apparently counting on the fact that generational turnover renders old formulas fresh again for new audiences. This is the only explanation for a sci-fi thriller that could charitably be called a "homage" to Ridley Scott's trend setting 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 artefact. 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 transforming to supernova status, causing a universe-shattering explosion. Some nice sexual tension between James Spader (as the recovering drug-addict co-pilot) 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, Amazon.com

3.0 out of 5 stars visually stunning but somewhat flawed, 23 Jan 2002
By A Customer
This is an exciting,visually stunning but flawed sci-fi film:it is quite derivative in places,mostly echoing "alien" and has a female computer which is kind of a flip-side to Hal from "2001...".Also,the film does not seem quite sure what it is trying to say or how philosophically its trying to say it(the excellent deleted scenes section of the dvd shows just how much the message had been tweaked by the time of release).Despite these faults-which are not glaringly obvious as you watch-I found it thoroughly enjoyable.Spader is quietly mesmeric as the ex drug addict forced to take control of the ship and is ably backed up by the initially frosty Angela Basset.The special effects are stunning and perform exactly as they should,drawing you into the film without being too flashy.Well worth viewing if you like sci-fi films and the cut-scenes on the dvd are a good addition.Someone should tell Lou Diamond Phillips to give up his day job though...

3.0 out of 5 stars Flawed classic awaiting the Director's Cut, 9 Jan 2001
By A Customer
This is a classic representation of the Sci Fi genre set in a 'Alien' environment complete with familiar characters. The film however has the potential to be greater than the cut that we actual see and it is only by viewing the deleted scenes that we can start to appreciate the potential of this vision. I can see this film revised in ten years as a Director's cut with a new opening sequence and added tension leading to a pay off finish. If you saw the film at the cinema it is worth getting the DVD to see the lost sequences and allow yourself to reedit the film and enjoy something that the Director must have originally envisaged.

1.0 out of 5 stars So bad even I wasn't dumb enough to finish it. And I've seen the Fifth Element!, 17 Nov 2006
I'm amazed to see positive reviews for this movie. It is awful. I wanted to see it because a film with such a mangled production has to be interesting by default - sure it won't be good, but it might have something interesting in it.

I literally couldn't see the movie! The lighting is extremely dark, the editing very fast and the camera was always moving. My eyes were always about to look at the sliver of light were someone's face was, but before I could see it the camera either moved or it cut to another shot.

The basic story sounds interesting but the thing is so slow, humourless and badly made that I gave up after about half an hour. The death of Robert Forster by being elongated by the space travel was so badly filmed that I'm not even sure what happened.

As for the movie being intelligent - I'm not sure as I didn't see the whole thing, but I struggle to see what's so intelligent about a standard horror movie set in space that rips off Alien.

This movie has been made better. It's called Event Horizon. Same set up, same plot, better direction. At least you can see it.

An entertaining, if somewhat gory, SF movie. With a reasonable level of intelligence, and well-drawn characters, this manages to rise above being "a horror film set in space". Read more
