He also expressed strong dislike for the way the studio ruined the movie but said that James Spader did a great job with his role.

      At the end of the movie one of Nick's eyes is blue and one is brown. When they show him again from the side the other eye is blue.

    So-so sci-fi.
    A forgiving aspect of the sci-fi genre is, if your story paints you into a corner all you have to do is paint a door and walk out. In Sci-fi, anything is possible. To the probable dismay of the realists in the audience, "Supernova" takes advantage of this fix as it's weak plot unfolds. The movie has the obligatory sex, action, adventure, suspense, special effects, etc. However, it doesn't equal the sum of its parts and the earnest acting it offers isn't sufficient to get this very forgettable drama over the bar.
