ClassyWas Excellent, smart action film.

Björn Felten The typical catastrophe scenario:1. Scienetists find out that the world will be destroyed.2. The VIP objects, because they will not want to be no VIP no more.3. Incarcerate all scientists and journalists to prevent them from telling the "people".4. Add a few side kicks, like a murderer/rapist escaping, and then his final capture/death (since the concept of the planet Earth going down the drains obviously isn't exciting enough).Heck, I don't know where to start with all the goofs in this shite. Suffice to say that Tina Carrera spends almost half the movie to get to St. Louis in various right-hand drive vehicles driving on the left side of roads with all white line markings. Where do they have that with a St. Louis within driving distance?And no, there'll never be a supernova in this solar system. When our sun runs out of fuel some 7-8 milliard (billion to those who doesn't know the proper maths notation) years ago, it'll simply grow bigger for some 100 million years, and then swallow all the small planets inside of Mars, and after that it'll turn into a silent star that will not be noticed anymore.If only they had named the movie Solar Flares, it might have gotten another star from me.

wes-connors "An astrophysicist has made a cataclysmic discovery. Then sun is set to explode, bringing about the end of civilization. As a team of fellow scientists race against time to stop his predictions of apocalypse from coming true, the world is already becoming a whirling inferno out of control," according to the DVD sleeve description. As Luke Perry (as Chris Richardson) explains, it's "the end of the world as we know it," in an original two part Hallmark Channel TV movie.This film simply fails to take advantage of what it has to offer. The locations are great, but passed off as something they are not. There would have been nothing wrong with setting the movie where it was shot, and letting people marvel (instead of laugh) at the luscious scenery. And, the likable stars aren't scripted to do much of what made them likable; their roles seem carelessly assigned. The cast and locale should have made "Supernova" shine much more brightly.**** Supernova (9/5-6/05) John Harrison ~ Luke Perry, Tia Carrere, Emma Samms, Peter Fonda

parodycollector I've seen many cheesy movies before, but this one takes the cake. It is known that in movies you have to take certain liberties when it comes to science and plausibility to make it work. I got this in a four pack "Sci Fi Collector's Set" from Sam's Club, I wanted to see it because my hometown was shown on fire on the box. I didn't necessarily have high hopes for it, but my God I've seen better effects and acting from elementary school plays.The plot was confusing, with the writer's almost unable to stick to a centralized idea. I didn't even realize this was meant to take place in Australia because of all the holes in that part of the story until I read it here. I've never been to Australia, but the gun laws and lack of death penalty are pretty well known. I don't expect movies, particularly made for TV movies, to be perfect on this kind of stuff, but a little effort of any kind would have helped. In honesty I missed the point of the sub-plot convicted killer, it didn't add anything to the movie.At the end they say "To Be Continued", apparently only the first half was on this particular DVD set, that's fine with me, if the second half is anything like the first, I'd rather not waste my time, I've got access to YouTube and can get more convincing and entertaining movies on it. The only good scene in the entire movie was the destruction of St. Louis, MO. They got that scene looking pretty cool. . .why is it the only somewhat coherent thing in the movie--do they hate St. Louis or something, is that why they took time to make Busch Stadium look like Busch Stadium and the Arch look real, I'll forgive that there are stationary boats including a Casino and a McDonald's boat that apparently knew the meteors were coming as they had moved somehow, and that the bridges that lead from Illinois to St. Louis were also missing, but I find it interesting they got the look of St. Louis fairly accurate, and the rest of the movie looks nothing like the cities they represent. . .Just a terrible movie, terrible acting, I actually got a few laughs which kept it from a one, but I shouldn't be laughing at a destruction of the Earth story. . .

craigman Wow, I feel cheated out of the time I wasted watching this utter garbage. It came on channel 35 (ION) in the middle of a Sunday. That's when I usually get suckered into watching something crappy, I guess, since I was feeling particularly lazy and absolutely nothing good was on the TV. While most of the other reviewers rightly pointed out out how awful this was, I don't think it will become a "cult favorite", like some said. There really is nothing redeeming about this.Why does Luke Perry still get ANY acting jobs? All he does in this is kind of mumble and stumble around. He has the charisma of a turnip, and doesn't even know how to act angry when some killer is trying to kill his annoyingly cute wife and child! I was rooting for the bad guy to kill him. The killer inexplicably only knocks him out! Then his wife has to save him! And poor Tia Carerre. I always thought she was hot looking, but she always seems so cold and sexless on-screen. It's as if she is under orders to never flirt or act sexy, or ever kiss anyone! She is always single and childless as well.The scenes with Peter Fonda and the lone blond woman on the beach were excruciating to watch as well. They are killed in a really stupid manner by a heat-seeking sun-chunk (don't ask). After suffering through about 3 hours to the end, I was hoping the sun would indeed put everyone out of their misery! No such luck, though. Like so many other stupid "disaster" movies and TV shows, there is always a stupid happy ending! The creators never have the stones to actually follow through on their "end of the world" scenario!
