BIOSphereopts ****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.

Hubert Jassol Peter Fonda is a famous astrophysicist who discovers that the sun is about to explode so he does what anyone would do - runs off to the Maldives to drink, eat lobster and sleep with some blonde barmaid. Luke Perry is his colleague whose wife and daughter are being pursued by an escaped serial killer as he gallivants about the countryside with Tia Carrere who is a turncoat federal agent while the earth is being destroyed by fireballs emanating from the sun. Fireballs which, by the way, have the accuracy of laser guided bombs as demonstrated when Fonda's beach hut is destroyed, killing him and blondie, while the immediately surrounding flora is left completely unscathed. Had enough yet? No? Okay, Luke ultimately saves the world by discovering that Peter's original formula was missing a minus sign and, with that news, the sun immediately stops hurling fireballs and decides to behave like a good little sun, the worldwide rioting and looting stops, entire cities which were destroyed are now deemed "just a scratch", Luke's wife shoots and kills the serial-killer bad guy, and the rain comes to put out all the fires. All is right in the world once again, so Luke and his wife and daughter go to the beach to build sand castles and have a barbecue.Why have I told you all this? To save you from wasting 3 hours of your life by watching this abominable piece of garbage - that's why. You can thank me later.

wes-connors "An astrophysicist has made a cataclysmic discovery. Then sun is set to explode, bringing about the end of civilization. As a team of fellow scientists race against time to stop his predictions of apocalypse from coming true, the world is already becoming a whirling inferno out of control," according to the DVD sleeve description. As Luke Perry (as Chris Richardson) explains, it's "the end of the world as we know it," in an original two part Hallmark Channel TV movie.This film simply fails to take advantage of what it has to offer. The locations are great, but passed off as something they are not. There would have been nothing wrong with setting the movie where it was shot, and letting people marvel (instead of laugh) at the luscious scenery. And, the likable stars aren't scripted to do much of what made them likable; their roles seem carelessly assigned. The cast and locale should have made "Supernova" shine much more brightly.**** Supernova (9/5-6/05) John Harrison ~ Luke Perry, Tia Carrere, Emma Samms, Peter Fonda

Ronald Purviance I actually stopped watching this movie about an hour in. I think I will wait for the Mystery Science Theater version. I don't know what I can say about this movie that is positive. It was nice to see Emma Samms, still looking hot. I did like the blond bartenders outlook, doesn't matter what happens next, only what you are doing now. And I do remember some of my college astronomy, enough to know our sun wouldn't supernova. I could have at least over looked that if the whole thing had been presented better. I don't understand why the subplot about the murderer either, total waste of time. Maybe a re-edit might help, but I doubt it.Oh well, at least I didn't buy it!
