Supernova, was pretty awful - it's got a cast full of fallen and b-list stars but this mediocre film couldn't escape it's terrible script and confused plotting. After having a squiz on IMDB trivia it seems it's had a troubled history with both Ford Coppola and Walter Hill trying to steer it to the screen.Hardware, sadly, wasn't a whole lot better. I'd been wanting to watch this again for ages as it was based on a short story from the awesome comic 2000ad that I devoured as a child. Anyways the film is a little apocalyptic tale about a guy who digs up a killer robot from the wasteland and sells it to an artist who makes rubbish industrial pieces, robot reassembles and starts killing. It's not a bad story it just takes way too long to get to the action, the robot itself is naff and both the main actors are hopeless. Oh hum - let's hope Dust Devil stands up better.
