| Now, the movie so bad, not even Alan Smithee wanted his name on it. OK,
perhaps that's really not the case--"Thomas Lee" was the agreed-upon
pseudonym by director Walter Hill and MGM--but this long-delayed,
much-tinkered-with sci-fi film is the year's...more |

| Supernova Review |
| by Eugene Novikov |
| Isn't it the ultimate sign of a movie's cinematic ineptitude when you
can't think of much to say about it other than "it sucks"? One of the
first official year 2000 releases, Supernova is such a movie. I can't
seem to get past one-word adjectives with...more |

| It's never a good sign when a director won't allow his name to be shown in a
film's credits. Director Walter Hill has used his pseudonym, Thomas Lee, here,
which set warning bells off for me before ever reaching the movie. The fact
that the script has...more |

| "Karl Larson, he's the worst nightmare I ever met," a repulsed Angela
Bassett, chief medical expert aboard the Nightingale 229 medical rescue
vessel, warns of an emergency caller from a distant star sector. Robert
Forster (of "Jackie Brown" fame) decides...more |

| The astute follower of my normal 3BC reviews will note something
different about this "review" right away: I dispensed with the normal

| by Jon Popick |
| Supernova is one super mess. This sci-fi film is highly derivative, but
not even of decent space flicks. It seems to have chosen only the bad
ones to rip off. The story is simple: A spaceship picks up a really
bad guy that tries to off everyone...more |

| That appears to be a guiding principle in Hollywood: look in any
movie guide and you'll find literally hundreds of films cross-indexed under
the categories "Alien Beings, Unfriendly" and "Space Operettas." Ridley
Scott's "Alien," arguably the best of...more |

| The behind-the-scenes story is far more interesting than this
mundane sci-fi thriller which should disappear as quickly as it popped
into our local theaters without previous critics' screenings. It seems

| Hmmmm, major directorial issues, no preview rendez-vous for the critics, and
a huge thumbs down from JoBlo contributor PackBacker, pronouncing it as an
early candidate for "worst of 2000"...youch! So is it any good? Well, we
will never know what original...more |

| If you've seen the TV commercials for "Supernova," you may have
noticed the ads don't tell who's starring in the film, which may lead
you to suspect it has a cast of unknowns. Surprise -- it actually
features Angela Bassett, James Spader, Lou...more |

| A good eighty-percent of science fiction in the movies owes everything to
horror. Yes, Alien was great, but structurally, what's the real difference
in it and, say, Halloween? Event Horizon and Hellraiser? Yet we tend to
privilege sci-fi over such...more |

| "Here we are, caught in the gravitational pull of a blue giant, and all
you can think about is sex," Troy Larson (Peter Facinelli) says to
Danika Lund (Robin Tunney). Amazingly, sex is indeed the theme of
SUPERNOVA, an incorrectly rated PG-13 science...more |
