This resulting in the rather bland superhero power angle. At first it seems to be some kind of energy releasing thing that empowers anything that it comes into contact with.

The other oddity if you will is the alien artifact. So in the end the risk of gravitational pull goes out the window it all suddenly becomes escaping a supernova. This causes a pending supernova as the artifact gets hotter the closer it gets to the blue giant. Thing is, the volatile alien artifact they find (now known as a bomb), does actually get ejected into space towards the finale. Now this all sounds pretty formulaic and admittedly reasonably cool. This means their only means of escape is using the dimension drive again, but that will take almost the same amount of time, so their exit window is tight. At the same time Titan 37 orbits a blue giant that's gravitational pull will suck in the stranded ship within about 17 hours. The first little issue with this plot is the fact that when the ship arrives close to Titan 37, they enter a debris cloud which damages their ship causing loss of fuel. Evers (Angela Bassett) are left alive, can they stop Larson? It seems this alien artifact has made him younger, given him super strength and superhuman healing abilities (handy). This makes Larson unhappy and he decides to kill everyone on-board. After much discussion it is decided by co-pilot Vanzant (James Spader) to jettison the artifact because it may be dangerous. When arrived they pick up one survivor from the moon (Karl Larson played by Peter Facinelli) and his cargo, an alien artifact. Unfortunately this results in the death of their Captain/pilot A.J. To get to this far off point they use the dimension jump drive on-board their ship. It sees the crew of the Nightingale 229 responding to an emergency call some 3000 light years from their position on the moon Titan 37. The plot is quite simple and unoriginal really. Of course you would pay for it, taking the risk, and more often than not the movie sucked. So I had no way of judging the product without paying for it.

The lure was too great and for me the internet was not yet a regular source of entertainment and info (I don't think the net became widely mainstream until around 1999 and even then it will have taken time for many to get fully on board). Just one of those 'out of the blue' movies that sat there begging to be rented. This is how 'Supernova' came into my life.

Yet despite that, the cast, the cover and the genre would get you all excited to see it asap. Whilst scanning the shelves for your desired evenings entertainment, chances are you'd come across a movie that you'd never seen or heard of before. Back in the day there was a time when you'd walk into your local videoshop (VHS) looking for a specific movie.
