This Hallmark Television movie is not to be confused with the similar titled, superior space movie from the late 90's (with James Spader and Angela Bassett). In this particular film, Peter Fonda portrays a scientist who comes to the conclusion that the Earth's sun is much older than previously believed-and that it will soon expand in size to encompass the entire solar system and, as the characters repeatedly say "kill off all life as we know it". After he emails this information to his colleagues he disappears from radar and spends the rest of the movie talking to a female barkeep and drinking cocktails on a beach. A group of government agents, unlikely led by Tia Carrerre, take Luke Perry (one of the scientists) into custody to find out what's going on. No one, of course, wants to think that the end of the world is coming. There's also a dumb subplot about an escaped serial killer who is after Perry's wife-and the last twenty minutes of the movie deals with this, rather than ending when it should have (meaning, the three hour movie is over an hour too long). SUPERNOVA is a much lacking end of the world movie.
