Ack! It's happening again! TV's been screwy the last few days & we can only get one station, so I just sat through part one of a piece of drivel called Supernova. Self explanatory, it's about people suddenly realizing the sun's about to go supernova. Of course, no one bothered to mention to the writers that our sun isn't big enough to go boom and they didin't even bother coming up with a half-baked excuse for why it suddenly can, which leads me to believe they didn't bother checking. Shoddy bit of fact-checking, that.
Plus there's an American news reporter with an English accent, and I've never heard an American reporter with a regional accent, much less a foreign one. Shoddy bit of casting, that.
And finally, there's a bit where our hero is brought to a massive underground city, designed to support enough people to create the genetic diversity required for the species to survive. Implausible, I thinks, but at least someone in the movie isn't totally daft. But our hero's reaction to it. "This is madness!" And a failed attempt to escape. Now the hero is a) supposedly very intelligent and b) believes the sun is about to explode, so one would think he'd be rather pleased that someone's come up with a way for some of humanity to survive, if they have any chance at all, but no! He thinks it's a terrible idea. Apparently the total annihilation of all human life is ok, as long as you get to spend it with friends & family. Shoddy bit of writing that.
