   A movie for the really hardcore, hard science SciFi fan! I was glued to the screen through the entire film. You'll be bored silly if you think every SciFi needs explosions, laser guns and little green men. You'll be in heaven if you think those things only detract from the true essence of SciFi. 10 years 9 months ago

   This faux-documentary chronicles an astronaut mission to Jupiter's moon Europa finally declassifying the footage from its onboard cameras. It's ground in part covered by Space Odyssey: Voyage To The Planets, the solar system documentary in the style of Walking with Dinosaurs, but has its own plot, more thrills and danger, and thrillery twists. Yes, there's a science-fiction element at the end of the journey, but it could have been just a procedural about a long voyage to the outer planets and I'd have been just as happy. I'm a big fan of real space stories like Apollo 13 and From the Earth to the Moon, you see, and its better fictional cousins like Gravity. Europa Report aquits itself very well, and it knows it has a relationship to 2001: A Space Odyssey (where astronauts made a similar journey), and plays with that subtly and gratifyingly. Much better than most found footage films. 8 years 10 months ago

   Everything Gravity should have been. And more.
   Recommended to scifi fans who don't need hundreds of millions in special effect, or celebs. A great script, a good direction. Realism over melodrama. And the certainty that science is not limited to what we know. 9 years 12 months ago
