Christian S Very original and exciting story. I don't know why others don't like it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/09/24 Full Review Alain M Supernova" receives a meager one-star rating, a verdict echoed in a disheartening review. Despite boasting a stellar cast, the film falters as the performances fail to live up to expectations. The special effects, even considering the time of release, fall below acceptable standards. The storyline itself is criticized for losing its way, leaving both the narrative and the viewer adrift in confusion. This cinematic endeavor appears to be a disappointing convergence of promising elements that, unfortunately, do not align to create a satisfying experience. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/22/24 Full Review Jerod S Supernova is like the worst parts of Star Trek with a little attempt at horror in space. James Spader and Angela Bassett make for an odd couple that end up sharing a pod in the end to escape and swapping some DNA. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/30/23 Full Review Steve D Pure cheese despite a good cast. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review jelisije j An enjoyable movie that had decent visuals, decent acting, and a decent story which ultimately let me with a decent sci-fi flick. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Criminally underrated! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/07/22 Full Review Read all reviews
