 A great sci-fi movie January 26, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I was not expecting much out of this title when i rented it. However i was pleasantly surprised by it. The plot was good, the characters were interesting enough. Im surprised by the low scores it has gotten. I'm thinking many of them are just not big sci-fi fans. Just like Serenity bombed at the box office, but in reality its a great movie! There could have been more action in Supernova but the suspense was great and i wanted to find out what would happen in the end. I have watched it a few times more. I don't think its Emmy material but it is a solid sci-fi title, which there are too few coming out anymore.
Nice deep space drama September 2, 2007
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
While some may curse me for admitting it, I will anyway. Hey, I liked it! I didn't think it was 1/2 bad for a fresh new sci-fi flick. From browsing the other reviews, it's obvious that there are others who disagree. To each their own.
The premise of the film is quite interesting. In the far future, when deep space travel is commonplace, there are these outer space ambulances which respond to intergalactic "9-1-1" calls. The idea is for these medical ships to patrol certain sectors and thereby be available should there be any medical emergencies on-board other ships or in remote outposts.
One of these ships responds to a strange distress call, and they run into a situation that none of the medically trained personnel are trained for. A strange alien object has an insidious influence of members of the crew.
The film does a good job of giving you that "stranded in deep outer space feel," similar to movies like Alien (Two-Disc Collector's Edition) and 2001 - A Space Odyssey (Two-Disc Special Edition). Some of the FX are imaginary, showing some scenery in the universe that is light years away from the Earth.
The cast is solid, featuring James Spader and Lou Diamond Phillips. Those who saw End of Days will like to see Robin Tunney in this one. Why? She takes her shirt off in EOD, but you don't really see anything. In this one, she is topless during a couple scenes and you get a much better look @ her body. This is a good thing as she has a wonderful, lithe figure!
If you're into sci-fi flicks, I'm thinking you will like this one. It doesn't set any precedents or anything, but I found it to be a fresh adventure in the sci-fi genre. It also engages a little in the realm of artificial intelligence, for those who have in interest in AI.
Great Sci-fi film August 7, 2007
I don't know why so many people didn't like this film. I thought it was very entertaining for a sci-fi film that was mixed with horror. I did think that it was cast well and the story very believable. It did show some very nice shots of Peter Facinelli that was very appreciated. If you like sci-fi you will really like this one as I did. I highly recommend it.
Not a recommendation July 3, 2007

I saw this film when it was out in theaters with my friends - "Fight Club" was sold out.
It was worst than bad to the point that we couldn't even laugh at it. Everyone in our group still considers this movie to be the WORST EVER.
