Fast service
Added 11/4/2009
Very fast service. Excellent condition. Only problem I have is my dvd player won't play this with remote controller for some reason and therefore can't see part 2. Have to play part 1 using manual control. Have several dvd's that have this problem. I don't know what the matter is. My player is a magnavox and is only a year old.

Horrible, horrible, horrible! Bad acting combined with bad special effects, terrible science and a pathetic script make this impossible to watch.

Beyond Bad...
Added 9/18/2009
Wow. I am still in awe of just how bad this film was. The screenplay was a confused jumble of intersecting sub-plots, most of which made little, if any, sense. The entire scientific premise of the movie is so ridiculous that it would have to assume that the viewer has an IQ of a geranium in order to believe it. The acting is bad enough to almost be funny. The characters are inept, unlikable and overdramatized. There is a stereotypical, psycho-villain thrown into the plot that is played like something out of a bad 1950's comic book. The effects are... well, like something I could have created myself in a few seconds using Photoshop and a cheap, digital camcorder. The music score is just a bunch of recycled background trash that sounds like something from the cutting room floor of an adult movie. If this film had a director, he should rethink his choice of careers. Any director with a sense of decency would have burned this film before it had a chance to be developed. Even Ed Wood's movies are more realistic and certainly more enjoyable by comparison. I've seen a lot of bad films in my day, and I can usually find at least one thing about each of them that I enjoyed, or at least believed. Not so, with Supernova. A more fitting title would have been "Black Hole", since that's where it seemed like my time had gone after watching this trainwreck of a movie.

Earth Thriller
Added 6/17/2009
As with all the movies I like to deem earth thrillers, along with other such titles, I highly recommend this movie, as they give us a fresh, new look at how our fragile, taken-for-granted eco-system could come to a screeching halt. I'm not a tree hugger, or any other title people like to call themselves, but just one who is open to new ideas on the demise of mankind, and life on earth. To take this concept to the level of natural correction, or celestial control adds the excitement of being out of man's control to make things right. This movie does a great job of that, and I think the only anticlimax in the whole movie, is the discovery of a wrong formula, which, oddly enough calls the forces of our solar giant into rein. The possibilities for an alternative ending are few, but this one would have never ocurred. Beside that, I thought it was a fantastic story.

Much Better Than Expected!
Added 1/5/2009
The acting in this film was very good. The story line was also believable (sort of). Stars DO go supernova. The graphics and special effects were above average. The only weak link was (SPOILER!! BEWARE!!) when they discovered a mistake in the mathmatical formula, the sun problems stopped! That's a little odd.
I also liked the subplot. Very unusual for this type of film. And the actor playing the bad guy was very creepy!
So...all in all a very underrated flick. Butter the popcorn!

Good movie and good price
Added 5/10/2009
I'm writing this mostly to correct the impression given by a reviewer that this blu ray disc does not contain the entire miniseries. It certainly does contain both parts in their entirety. After watching part one the credits role and then part two starts automatically. It can also be accessed from the pop up menu at any time. The film itself is pretty good although a bit slow. There are too many characters to keep track of and the film would have been better if half an hour were edited out. IT also suffers a bit of an identity crisis. Is it science fiction or a serial killer stalker movie? It trys to be both with mixed results. Nice to see Luke Perry in the lead role. He does a fine job with this. Visual effects are fairly impressive CGI stuff. The transfer looks excellent and often almost three dimmensional. Colors are beautiul and vivid. There is some minor dirt on the print in two scenes but other than that it looks awesome. Sound is excellent uncompressed 5.1 There are interviews with the director, John Harrison and all of the cast. A trailer is also included. For such a bargain basement price, they did a very nice job with this Blu ray release. And once again, THE DISC DOES CONTAIN THE COMPLETE FILM.

mini-series! not a theatrical release
Added 4/26/2009
This is the Sci-Fi miniseries (apparently incomplete) not the movie Supernova from 2000 with James Spader. Buyer beware!
