f their genre? Well, Supernova isn’t that. In fact, it wouldn’t be an overstatement to call it among the worst sci-fi movies of the noughties, and considering the decade produced such trainwrecks as The Adventures of Pluto Nash and Battlefield Earth, it’s not an easy contest.

The first thing you need to know about Supernova is that it’s a horny movie — a very horny movie.

Immediately after, there’s a scene with Phillips’ Yerzy and Tunney’s Danika going at it in a dark room.

Jack Sholder, director of B-level horror movies like Alone in the Dark and A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge, was hired to re-edit the movie. Sholder changed many aspects of Hill’s version, from the score to the voice of the ship’s computer. However, that version also didn’t work, and MGM tried to go back to Hill, whose demands they refused to meet. This is the point in our story where things get really wild as Francis Ford Coppola enters the fray.
