It really is so bad that it isn't brilliant. I will give Supernova some credit, they were fairly creative in ripping off other science fiction films in a blatant slap in the face manner. It was fairly obvious that none of the directors could figure out where they really wanted the story to go, it had a weak plot, poor character development and schizophrenic filming, but hey it was definitely worth 90 minutes of my time. It's one of those bad movie's that is great fun to mock, especially since I think the trailer was better. It was better than Event Horizon .
Supernova is a shameless thief of ideas from much better sci-fi flicks.
I don't imagine anyone will get mad at them for it though. The movie does such a bad job with those concepts nobody would want this movie in any way associated with their film. The list of movies it rips off is long. The Wrath of Kahn , Buck Rogers , Star Wars , etc. The lack of originality isn't the worst part though.
