2012 Supernova (2009) reviewed in 25 words or less: Horrible. Atrocious. A train wreck of a movie. A new standard for bad. I hope my nightmares stop soon. I think my eyes were bleeding.
FULL REVIEW
I am a big science fiction fan. I’d go so far as to say I am a sucker for any science fiction movies that come out. If it says science fiction in the ads or on the box, I’ll watch it. Sometimes, as in the case of 2012 Supernova, my weakness comes back to haunt me.
2012 Supernova was made in 2009. The movie takes the now somewhat overworked concept of a meteor hitting and destroying earth and morphs it slightly. In 2012 Supernova, the earth is threatened by a blast wave from a star that went supernova 200 years earlier. As always, it’s atomic weapons in space to the rescue!
2012 Supernova Director: Anthony Fankhauser. Starring: Brian Krause, Heather McComb, Najarra Townsend, Londale Theus, Stephen Blackehart, Dorothy Drury, and Stephen Schneider.
Everything about 2012 Supernova was utterly horrific. The characters were totally cliché. The dialog was dribble. It was devoid of any and all suspense. 2012 Supernova doesn’t really leave me much to ‘review.’
One of the most disturbing things about 2012 Supernova was the ending. Mind you, I was elated that the ending had arrived, but still… At the end of the movie the star is aboard a space station that is hit by the planet-destroying supernova blast wave. This ‘wave’ has already disintegrated planets and moons in our solar system. Clearly, the lead scientist is dead – but then he somehow appears back on earth – and healthy!
Really, you don’t want to watch this movie. Do yourself a favor and avoid it at all costs – and tell your friends to stay clear of the science fiction mess that is 2012 Supernova. If you disagree with my review and rating of this movie, please do write to me and let me know which one of the characters you played.
