Europa Report

I'm almost to the end of the movie. I rarely watch Sci-fi but I love this movie! Enjoyable, well put together, great story telling, low key drama. It feels like it could be real.

Effective scares, great tension and suspense and an overwhelming sense of dread, claustrophobia and feelings of insignificance are in large heaps in this movie! The only thing that holds it back are post-production editing choices (the schizophrenic changes of camera angles, or 'radiation' effects), deaths that make little sense or are easily avoidable and bland characters. The actors were passably believable, but the characters themselves were not all that interesting. Set and costume design was great and overall atmosphere and ambience was well done. Would recommend!

The movie had a weird downbeat vibe.

Brilliant. At last a SciFi film for people with a brain. The few ‘boring' reviews here are obviously from those who prefer endless explosions, mutant monsters, laser-gun battles, and space-ships crashing into each other left, right and centre. It's a SCIENCE fiction film. The clue is in the genre.

Great subject and concept but the delivery is stiff and disjointed. Clearly unconvincing 'in ship' footage didn't help and a highly predictable ending too.

Ridiculous, pretentious and boring. Every situation that moves is either impossible or pushed by decisions astronauts would not make. No way to get invested when every emotional situation is manufactured for effect right before your eyes. Also, hard sci-fi? Not at all. Nothing makes sense.

Europa Report ist ein Science-Fiction-Film des Régisseurs Sebastián Cordero… Der im Found-Footage-Format gedrehte Thriller handelt von einer bemannten Expedition zum Jupitermond Europa… Eine Geschichte im NASA-Doku-Drama Stiel… Deshalb wirkt die Inszenierung authentischer als die meisten Weltraumfilme… Der Film entwickelt sich im Laufe der Zeit zu einem klaustrophobischen und stilvollen Thriller… Sehr Unterhaltsam, aber etwas vorhersehbar… Intelligente, zurückhaltende Science-Fiction… Kurz gesagt, für mich ist Europa Report Science-Fiction vom Feinsten…

It's okay, but it got a bit depressing as it went on. The ending was also a bit depressing.

'Europa Report', from 2013, is a brilliantly stylish sci-fi entry into the found footage genre of films. SYNOPSIS: 'An international crew of astronauts undertakes a privately funded mission to search for life on Jupiter's fourth largest moon.' 'Europa Report' is a low budget sci-fi movie masquerading as a big budget Hollywood hit. This film looks incredible and is as a level above many films which make it into cinemas. The cast is superb and absolutely delivers to the point you genuinely care as each character is lost. Sharlto Copley (District 9), Michael Nyqvist and Anamaria Marinca deliver standout performances. This is a sci-fi film with an emphasis on science, and you really believe everything you see is possible. However, the film doesn't cheat on the tension at all. And by God it's tense at times! A film I missed on it's original release but I'm so glad I've found it now on Netflix. A suffocating sci-fi thriller. 8/10

This one strives for your heart from the start, I have this as the best ending to a Sci Fi ever - it's simple and the ending is killer.
