Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Keira Brennan The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

imdb-8006 I like Supernova, saw it on public TV when it was new, and I've never forgotten it. That's a show with some power to it, and I'd expect it to be a cult favorite someday.It's certainly not lowest common denominator comedy, there aren't any belly laughs or one-liners. It can be goofy as well as intellectual, mostly it's just offside. The central character is nervous, neurotic, and though he and everyone else consider him odd-man-out in the place, actually they're all so strange, he fits right in. For me, the best character was the younger bed partner for the woman heading up the observatory's work. He's indigenous Australian from a very tiny settler's town nearby, and perhaps the most modern-day well adjusted of the bunch. The town's rough pub is the only other setting, and the observatory people can drink as dedicatedly as townspeople who seem to seldom leave the bar.If you're bored by average sitcoms, I'd recommend this. After all, if you don't like it, you've wasted very little time. It's completely non-mainstream, no doubt that's why the series is so short.

i-am-a-moose It's really interesting to read what others have said about this program. It could be because i'm Australian, but i really didn't see what was so great about this program. I'm a huge fan of Rob Brydon, and usually i find his comedy hilarious, as well as that i've enjoyed work by many of the Australian actors in the show, but to me it seems like a lot of corny jokes and bad attempts at laughing at Australian outback culture. I'm not getting on my high horse because i'm Australian either, i love making fun of Australian culture particularly bush culture (that sounded horrible of me), but it has to be done properly, and i just didn't think this was. It just seemed to me that the writing was a big let down for an idea that could have been amazing.

ChrisQ A comedy about Astronomy professors in an observatory? Yup that is exactly what it was! I enjoyed the sheer wackiness of this brilliant little gem. Some of its humour comes from clever in-jokes about matters astronomical - some from the cultural interplay between the English professor and his Australian colleagues and some from the lovable eccentricity of all seven characters.Occasional contrived situations did occur but the excellent cast carried them off with verve.The BBC decided that the show might have limited appeal only and so, giving it little publicity, consigned it to a graveyard slot on a minority channel.What a shame they hadn't the guts to substitute Supernova for one of their multitude of prime-time soaps - they might have got a pleasant surprise.

gilgamesh332 I laughed until I cried. Maybe I'm warped but I like brain dead comedies, and I thought this was very funny. OK so parts of it were a little predictable, but they carried it off with such style it did not matter. The bit where they had a burial service for the dead pet snake and used a six foot length of bamboo as a coffin had tears rolling down my cheeks. Out of the three main female characters I thought the older lady playing the team leader was gorgeous, like I said maybe I'm warped.My advice is switch off your brain engage your chuckle button and enjoy.
