2012: Supernova is a 2009 direct-to-video science fiction disaster film by The Asylum. As with the previous film, titled 2012: Doomsday is a mockbuster of the Roland Emmerich film 2012, which was released a month later. It is the second film in the Asylum's 2012 "Trilogy" though the films have nothing to do with one another. The third film is titled 2012: Ice Age.

Reception

The film has mostly poor reviews for various reasons, including its conveniently timed release so close to the release of the film 2012, which is based on a similar concept.

Sequel

Another sequel was released the following year entitled 2012: Ice Age and borrowing elements from another of Roland Emmerich's films, The Day After Tomorrow.
