    So bad it's funny

    Let's begin with the positive: It actually has some great scenes, if you don't look at the whole of the film. There's a really cool near accident car stunt, for instance, and some cool space scenes.

    But by far the BEST part of this film, is all the comments you'll find yourself saying in reaction the incredibly terrible manuscript.

    Here's a couple: "Oh, the world is ending, and the girl is wondering what she'll pack in her beauty bag?" "Now, let's see... The world is ending, and we can't afford a space chase... No matter! Let's have a car chase instead - by the evil Hezbollah!" Now to the negative: It's a terrible film! No need to say more, really. It's so terrible some people might even find it entertaining.

    2012:Supercrap

    I will give some credit where it is due, I have seen much worse movies, but that is not saying much. 2012:Supernova is my definition of a terrible movie, with pretty much nothing to recommend or redeem it other than an intriguing concept.

    However, this concept is squandered, because the story structure is so disjointed and predictable and the pace is so sluggish. Even worse is the script, which is questionable in scientific logic and laughably bad in one too many parts, and the direction which is so sloppy I questioned whether there actually was any direction. The production values are not much better, the special effects do look really cheap, and the photography and such indicate that this film was made on a low-budget.

    I was indifferent to every single one of the characters, that is including the lead character who is too bland to sympathise with his predicament. The Russian was the worst, the character verged on stereotypical and the accent was as fake as the effects. The acting is terrible and none of the actors connected to their characters which is probably a major reason why I didn't care for any of them.

    In conclusion, a very, very, very poor movie. 1/10 Bethany Cox

    not worth watching - not even for 5 minutes

    there is nothing positive to tell about this movie. Acting horrible - Story? "A scientist tries to save the Earth from the deadly blast of a star gone supernova." where are all the scientists, NASA experts, military, politicians, the president? One scientist is trying to save the Earth with the help of a Chinese woman (who obviously did not grow in China) and a half drunk Russian. Some poor Russian accent and a glass of vodka doesn't make a convincing Russian. Well yes there is a story, but it is really painful to see how poorly this story can be put together. Low budget is no excuse. I fell asleep after 30 minutes, don't waste your time and money on this flick.

    Do yourself a favor... DO NOT watch this!

    I know that the minimum for a comment is 10 lines but I'll have to work hard to come up with them for such a pile of crap. This is an insult to the intelligence of anyone older than 10 years. It makes your garden variety B movie look like an Oscar candidate. I guess in a Saturday afternoon, after a few 6-packers some guys just thought:

    "-Hey, we should make a sci-fi movie.

    -Wow, that's great! Let's do it!

    -OK, but how do we do it? We'll need a script, and actors and special effects and a lot of other things.

    -Never mind, we'll just wing it. We'll rent a warehouse and call it the secret base, a bunch of weird looking guys and call them scientists and that's pretty much it. Oh yes, we'll show a stream of rocks traveling through space form thousands of light-years headed towards a single point in the Universe: Earth. And that's pretty much all there is to it. Of course, let's not forget the two chicks who run through all the movie."

    So, they went on and made it. The only bad thing was that they never sobered up. So, instead of what it should have been, this pathetic excuse for a movie came up, which turns out to be a horrible rip off of Armageddon. If you're looking for an effective way to kill braincells go and watch this movie. Otherwise run for your life! My thumb is still glued to the fast forward button.

    0/10

    Shitting myself is more fun that watching this movie.

    10 lines to comment - are you kidding me?

    It will be almost as long as longest version of this movie plot.

    Don't watch this Do yourself a favor... its slow, boring, bad acting, not logical plot at all actually there ain't nothing good to say about this movie

    In my humble opinion it is total crap - I'm sorry but its true... People who worked on it to make this movie

    Im sorry but if you watch it yourself then you see its worst B rate movie ever...
