Supergirl

Kara Zor-El, Superman's cousin, lives in peaceful tranquility in Argo City. But after the city's power source, the omegahedron, is lost, Kara leaves Argo City for Earth. There, she runs afoul of some witches and Matt Frewer. Not Matt Frewer in a literal sense. He's an actor. And, in this case, he's playing a trucker wearing an A&W shirt who tries to assault Supergirl. It's pretty weird. But definitely not out of place in a weird movie like Supergirl. The beginning of the movie sets up a ticking clock, Kara only has so much time to retrieve the omegahedron before bad things happen back at Argo City. But, once she gets to Earth, that ticking clock is totally ignored so Supergirl can spend a bunch of time enrolling in and hanging out at a boarding school. The special effects in Supergirl are all over the place. There are some really good effects, like in the sequence where an invisible monster attacks Kara at the school. And then there's some really cheap looking green screen flying sequences that look like total crap. Supergirl is a bit of a mess. It's probably not as bad as you may have been lead to believe, but it's also hard to recommend.
