Supernova

New York Post Jonathan Foreman

A perfectly enjoyable sci-fi thriller.

San Francisco Chronicle Peter Stack

Though predictable, isn't half bad.

Philadelphia Inquirer Desmond Ryan

Really lost in space.

New York Daily News Robert Dominguez

It just goes to prove that in space, no one can hear you scream when the studio massacres your movie.

Chicago Tribune John Petrakis

This was a mission that should have been aborted long ago.

Entertainment Weekly Doug Brod

Director Walter Hill won't take credit for Supernova... Can you blame him?

USA Today Staff [Not Credited]

Good actors seem plastic and plastic actors seem worse in a knockoff of every rocket-ship movie you've ever seen.

Austin Chronicle Marc Savlov

Fails chiefly because it's senseless. How it even managed to bypass the straight-to-video route boggles the mind and is a speculative fiction far more engaging than any to be found onscreen.

Film.com John Hartl

Just doesn't live up to its title.

TV Guide Maitland McDonagh

This big budget mish-mash is almost unbelievably derivative and shockingly cheap looking.

Film.com Tom Keogh

Looks and moves like a film whose vital organs were yanked before shooting commenced.

Village Voice Dennis Lim

Apparently fallen victim to the transparent damage-control tactics of studios in possession of perceived stinkers.

The New York Times Lawrence Van Gelder

Light on originality and low on suspense though high on design and special effects.

Variety Godfrey Chesire

Appears headed for a deep-space rendezvous with audience indifference.

Chicago Reader Lisa Alspector

This mildly moody SF thriller belabors standard dramatic conceits involving jealousy and sexual betrayal.

Newsweek Jane Hogan

The flick's ultimate flaw? For a movie about space travel, it's an awfully uninspired trek.

Mr. Showbiz Michael Atkinson

This poor movie is like an abandoned car without plates: Nobody wants to admit it's theirs.

LA Weekly Manohla Dargis

Given the tainted history of Supernova, it's difficult to figure out where to place blame for either the undernourished screenplay or the moribund action.

Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas

Supernova isn't so super.
