Reviews

2012: Supernova has been met with overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, it holds a low rating of 2.2/10, reflecting widespread criticism regarding its production quality, acting, and storytelling. Reviewers have pointed out its clichéd plot and subpar special effects, which fail to deliver the tension expected from a disaster film. Rotten Tomatoes does not have a critic score due to insufficient reviews, but audience feedback trends toward disappointment. Critics from niche genre websites describe the film as 'a forgettable low-budget disaster movie that squanders its intriguing premise.' The pacing and character development are often criticized as shallow, limiting emotional engagement. However, some viewers find a certain campy appeal in its unintentional humor and appreciate Brian Krause's earnest performance amid the film's shortcomings. Overall, 2012: Supernova is regarded as lacking the polish and depth needed to stand out in the crowded disaster film genre.
