underated sci-fi classic and heres the reasons why

first of all this film was outstanding,first and foremost the ensamble cast put together for this film was top notch,all parts played to presicion with no "weak links".second the visuals are outstanding,this was obviously a first rate production.third the story was excellent from opening to closing credits.

overall i thought this was a great story that had all of the proper ingredients for a sci-fi classic.

here's were the general public ends up rating this film at a 4+/10 when in fact i personaly rated it a 9/10.i would even accept a 7/10 but 4+/10 in unreasonable.ok heres my theory why this movie is underappreciated.

just like danny boyles "sunshine" released in 2007 another great sci-fi both of these films got low reviews with imdb users due to the following.U.S. audiences need to have a certain formula in order to appreciate anything in the sci-fi genre and these films did not have elaborate explosions,acid spitting aliens,predators with space gadgets,chestbuters or facehuggers nor did it have any type of colonial marines or commandos.

this was just a very well made film that happen to take place in deep space and the sci-fi geeks could not accept a film without any of the cameron/scott formulas(no disrespect to either of the directors as there films are wonderful)but today if ya got no acid spitting aliens and pulse rifles that shoot 1,000 rounds per minute the movie is doomed.

look at the films without aliens that were not sucsesful due to the fact that there was no alien threat in the last 8 years,RED PLANET,MISSION TO MARS,SUNSHINE and the list goes on but a dog with fleas with the worst possible acting like ALIEN VS PREDATOR REQUIEM continues to gross more and more money world wide and that movie is the WORST!!!!

overall i suggest anyone to revisit SUPERNOVA and i would bet you would be pleasantly suprised,thats if you can live without aliens and predators and colonial marines,and mindless explosions .
