Um þessa kvikmynd

A unique blend of documentary, alternative history and science fiction thriller, EUROPA REPORT follows a contemporary mission to Jupiter's moon Europa to investigate the possible existence of alien life within our solar system. When unmanned probes suggest that a hidden ocean could exist underneath Europa's icy surface and may contain single-celled life, Europa Ventures, a privately funded space exploration company, sends six of the best astronauts from around the world to confirm the data and explore the revolutionary discoveries that may lie in the Europan ocean. After a near-catastrophic technical failure that leads to loss of communication with Earth and the tragic death of a crew member, the surviving astronauts must overcome the psychological and physical toll of deep space travel, and survive a discovery on Europa more profound than they had ever imagined.

Einkunnir og umsagnir

90 minutes of your life you won't get back again. Skip this one. Mindlessly tension-oriented. Irritating camera distortion to create more stress. Story is not even that good: "Bad things happen in space" kind of thing. Watch Interstellar or The Martian instead.

A slow burn to be sure, Europa Report is true science fiction with science as a focal point. I found it fascinating and engrossing, but I could see why some might not like it. Not everyone's cup of tea and all that. I loved it, however. Sets the imagination running. Watch it and see for yourself.

A group of white , thirtysomethings post grad students, all with short hair, make up the cast. The plot is geeky, but proceeds slowly. It was a waste of 90 minutes, in my opinion. The suspense was mildly interesting.
