Europa Report is an American 2013 sci-fi/thriller/documentary presented on DVD.
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.
Europa Report movie reviews
“There is something refreshing in the decidedly downbeat "Europa Report,” a science-fiction film with the emphasis on science that doesn't cheat on the tension." Arizona Republic
“There are scenes of unutterable beauty in Europa Report, a low-budget space exploration sci-fi suspenser from Ecuadorian director Sebastián Cordero.” Philadelphia Enquirer
“The idea that life evolved independently on Europa is perfectly plausible-and that makes what would be a fun and exciting film in any case all the more worth watching.” TIME Magazine
“One of the most immediately involving science-fiction films in recent memory.” Movie Mezzanine
