Two hundred years ago a supernova exploded somewhere in the Lyra constellation. Now the lethal burst of radiation is headed straight for Earth, and time is swiftly running out. The only thing standing between humanity and complete devastation is astrophysicist Dr. Kelvin (Brian Krause), who heads up a project to save the planet.

Wait, whoa, hold up...you mean this ISN'T a sequel to the John Cusack cheese-fest "2012?" Are you sure? Yes, because this monstrosity makes the original "2012" look like "Citizen Kane." Kelvin (the used-to-be talented Brian Krause) is the head of a team that looks to launch nuclear missiles into outer space to dissipate a giant supernova headed in Earth's direction. His wife (Heather McComb) and daughter (Najarra Townsend) run around in the desert, avoiding badly rendered computer animated special effects, as well as a supporting cast of dozens. Yup, that's the plot. The planet is on a collision course with a supernova, a few people get upset, the scientist characters bandy about terms like "magnetic shield" and "nuclear," do a lot of "recalculating" and "running simulations" on their computers...there's a ninja, I guess, who wants to stop this planet saving effort...a couple of Iranians are thrown in for good measure...ugh. The film was released by The Asylum, who would release terrible straight-to-video nightmares with titles that sounded vaguely like contemporary blockbusters in the theater. Have you been unlucky enough to see "Sinister Squad," "Independents' Day," "AVH: Alien vs. Hunter," or "Transmorphers?" Good, I wouldn't wish that on a Clinton. It's sad that a company has such low regard for their product (and audience) that they try to trick them into watching their rip-off film, instead of trying something original that would stand out in a crowded video and streaming landscape. The direction is terrible, the budget was about eight bucks, and all the performers look properly embarrassed. No one even tries to do a good job, I hope their paychecks were worth it. "2012: Supernova" is one of the worst films I have ever seen. I hope that's blunt enough for you. (1/2) out of five stars. This is unrated and contains physical violence, mild gun violence, some profanity, mild sexual references, some adult situations, alcohol and tobacco use
