****SPOILER ALERT!******SPOILER ALERT!!!!!*******I WILL REVEAL THE ENDING!!!!******I WILL REVEAL THE ENDING!!!!****** I've had this thing for about 2 years but could never bring myself to watch it. I knew what I was getting into when I read the description. When I saw the words "Sun" and "Supernova" together, it was obvious that the story was written by a high school drop out. But it doesn't stop there...add to that a subplot that includes an escaped serial killer and man...then the horrible acting, horrible accents, horrible effects...This is quite possibly the worst movie ever made.It seems that an "Astrophysicist" discovers that the Sun is much older than previously thought. Like this alone changes the mass to the point that the Sun could "supernova". And during this time of great discovery, an asteroid hit the Sun. Yeah, an asteroid. I guess this was some form of foreshadowing but they never tied it in to why the sun keeps belting out CMEs directly at Earth.Now for the lamest scene in movie history: Said astrophysicist was hiding out on a beach in a shack. And the "solar fireballs" that seem to pin point major cities...yep, scored a direct hit on his shack. And to add to the insult against viewers, this was right after he finally found true love.****SPOILER HERE!!!!!******ENDING REVEALED!!!***** I'm going to spoil the ending. Luke Perry pours over the calculations and finds out that the original equations of the now dead astrophysicist were wrong. He had a plus sign where it should have been a minus sign. (NO, REALLY ITS IN THE MOVIE!) And now that the Sun has been put back into its proper place by the correct mathematical operator...its time to finish the random serial killer story (who all this time had done nothing but walk around looking evil and riding a stolen motorcycle). Long story short. Luke Perry's wife kills him. The end.

This is possibly the worst movie made in the last decade. Some movies I realise are deliberately bad in order to attract a following as a cult movie or similar, but this one gives the impression it was intended as a serious movie. It is awful. I endured over 2 1/2 hours of this just to see if it could get any worse. In the end I was unable to bring myself to watch any more. Everything about it is awful. And if you are an Australian it is doubly bad because it they blamed it on us! It is so full of geographic, not to mention scientific, biological, theological, geological, ecological any everything else-logical errors I was left dumbfounded - and it goes on and on seemingly forever, having you look forward to the ad breaks. How anyone can escape from a prison in Pretoria (South Africa) and get to Sydney (Australia) in just a few hours by car beggars belief. It is total rubbish from start to finish. And even the special effects look like they were done using a freeware software package!Watch 30 minutes or so just to see how bad it is, but for the sake of your sanity, please do not watch the whole movie...

Why, oh why, do I keep getting suckered by promotional trailers for DVDs? Anyway, if you have seen the promo trailers for this film, be warned: they are clearly concerning another film never made, brief clips of which showing up in this one for no discernible reason whatsoever.The principle problem here is a script that thinks it's a remake of "The Day After" but which would fit just about any daytime soap-opera. Since the premise of the film derives from astro-physics, the finale - a typically empty 'happy ending', having absolutely no grounding in any science whatsoever - makes no sense whatsoever.Although the film actually avoids religion, let's put the matter in religious terms for clarification: Imagine Judgment Day; and God is really pee-ed off and decides no one is worth saving. Suddenly, Peter Pan's Tinkerbell pops up and reminds God that if he really really believes, creation can be saved. God smiles down on a half-dozen soap-opera stars (no, they haven't repented, what's to repent?), and suddenly we're all back in Eden.... - Scientifically speaking, that's "Supernova".What brilliant con-artist convinced anybody this film could be made? And who are the emotionally troubled people who would like this garbage? By the way, if you're wondering whether one could watch this turkey all the way through, the answer is no; after giving it some 20 minutes, sheer boredom demanded I started skipping scenes sequentially trying to find something interesting to watch. I didn't. But I did watch the whole of the finale to see if there was anything important I'd missed. There wasn't.And there wouldn't be anything important missed if you skipped the whole film.

Like my daughter says to me, just put your brain on hold and forget the holey plot, the stuff that makes no sense, and enjoy it for what it is, a relatively clean movie, with guys who are loosing their hair( big whoop) and people who have guns. In my country guns are legal. To quote Miss Congeniality,"Even my florist has a gun". Its not a big enough deal to worry about. Chill out and laugh. Why be so hyper critical? It would be a great movie to sit down with your kids and explain why this isn't going to happen and why. Also explain to them that Hollywood loves to blow things up and its a lot of smoke and mirrors. Also what to do if a person does try to break in your home. Thats why we have 911. Why we have Police.
