Smart and intriguing Not your traditional pop-corn sci-fi and it excels because of that. If you're looking for something that will spoon-feed you, skip it. If you're looking to think and bear witness to real situations, then you're in for a treat.The situations and context are very realistic yet don't sacrifice the drama. Just a really smart and unique look at such an event. Entire family liked it a lot.

Emmy Worthy Europa Report is the best space film I've ever seen. It has aliens that aren't a support intelligent threat. There are trials and tribulations that actually make sense. The characters are likable. The story is heartfelt. It's not a reboot or a remake. It's just s good movie.

Campy but worth the rental fee This movie is a strange brew. On one hand, the imagery of the planets and stars is amazing, buy on the other hand, the scenes where the astronauts are supposed to floating in zero gravity harken back to SciFi from the sixties. The astronauts looked so ridiculous obviously hanging from cables that I laughed out loud. In that respect, this movie falls far short of Apollo 13. Also, the line that the moon's surface temperature was holding steady at absolute zero was an astounding oversight considering all of the collaboration with NASA. In the end, the bad parts of the movie were so goofy that they were at least entertaining. A solid 3 star rental.

Look at that... REAL Science Fiction! (4.5 stars) Oh hey, look at that. Someone out there is actually capable of making a brilliantly executed, hard-science Science Fiction film. Sebastian Cordero's EUROPA REPORT, just watched it on VOD, **highly recommended**!! Really good cast, writing, VFX, score (by BSG's Bear MCCreary) and, did I mention, "SCIENCE!"? That piece of sci-fi crud, PROMETHEUS, wishes it had been this good (and made for this little money). A bit predictable (more like "inevitable"), but not because scientists are doing things like removing their helmets or playing with cobras. In some ways, EUROPA REPORT has been done before, but not exactly like this and generally not this well. MORE LIKE THIS, PLEASE! Hello? Hollywood?? Are you listening?

Not bad Ironically shows just how stupid and wasteful sending humans into deep space would be. Guess it would be hard to have human drama with robots. I'll still applaud this for trying to be hard sci-fi, and aiming for thoughtful and meaningful rather than action filled sci-fi horror mediocrity.

The Best Sci-Fi in a while For quite a while now, sci-fi has contained very little science and a whole lot of fiction, set so far in the future that we have no idea if what is being present is pure fantasy or fiction based on science. Europa Report is true science fiction. Everything in this movie feels like it could plausibly happen within the current decade. The movie doesn't have the visual effects of a block buster sci-fi, but it tells a great story and returns to the roots of what a sci-fi movie should be.

If you have/like imagination... This movie will bring some of it out of you. The great points of the movie were definitely the possibility of a not so distant "science fact" future mixed in with science fiction of today. The questionable portions were definitely "why send people to Europa when we've already sent successful missions through Jupiter's orbit multiple times, and we already successfully know how to land on other planets without human intervention?" - Well, why even question that? When the data connection to Earth is severed (spoiler alert? - not really), you then know exactly why they sent humans from the beginning - a giant experiment to see how humans would react in unusual circumstances... Okay that's not it, we already saw that one on MTV and all the other reality shows to follow out there. If you're a Science Fiction lover or simply love space in general - watch the movie and enjoy it as I did! Well Johnnie Walker and I did it together... An epic first of its kind movie (sort of).

If you pay attention, you'll love it! Ignore the negative comments. I hate bad movies & even more so, bad acting, this film has none of that. It's presented in the vantage point of "The Blair Witch Project", "Clover field", "Apollo 18" etc. The acting is superb as is the story line. It's gripping enough to make you oblivious too everything & anything around you, because you become entranced by it. If you have the attention span of a rock, no common sense and/or can't understand movies like "The Matrix", this film will frustrate you.

Over rated bloated mess Didn't like it at all. Overhyped, no point messy boring sci fi. The payoff was terrible, plot predictable, filming boring and confusing . people rating this 4 stars are just trying to be hip. Much better choices are Moon or for the love of God just watch 2001 Space Odyssey

Wonderfully thrilling! Awesome musical score. Really accurate except for the minor story telling allowances. The only true inaccuracies were with the response times of communicating with earth, that should have been a delayed communication and not instant as they showed.

A cam-corder movie actually worth watching! Great experience! A very amazing movie! I loved all the science involved, however I felt the crew's reactions to some of the events that took place were a little bit cold. All in all the ending made me happy and I am glad I watched it!

Scifi done right for a change If you are a lover of the genre, then this is a definite must see. No glam, no relying on effects to carry a story, in fact it is the other way around. There have been a lot of horrible scifi movies come out lately and it is nice to see that a classic bare bones story that is put together right can outshine any of the most recent big budget hollywood scifi projects. MOAR OF THIS PLEASE!

Great 'hard' Sci-Fi movie A little pricey, but still cheaper than an single movie ticket. This movie is grounded in reality and not full of cheesy aliens. Well worth the price, in my opinion.

Incredible What an intelligent & extremely realistic depiction of deep space travel one of my new favorite movies & definition one of the top sci-fi films of the year

Boring, predictable, lack of characters. I wanted to like this movie but was put off by the lack of substance and overly stylized scene transitions. The narrative cut scenes hit the viewers over the head with the story in an amateurish way. None of the characters held any emotional depth or attachment. Even the alien was boring and predictable.

well done an extremely well put together movie with everything that I hoped for and more. I hate that it is only available as a rental.

Best in class... Serious minded Sci Fi is hard to come by. This film is fairly realistic, well acted and superbly filmed. Most importantly it had a good story line with characters you can care about, though it successfully avoids becoming overly sentimental and is without cliches. If you are looking for fantasy Sci fi, or an action ride, there are other options.

Awesome I was blown away by the level of detail this movie has and the awesome and suspenseful story that comes with it. I highly recommend seeing this movie, it was well worth the time and money.

Nice try, poor execution Excellent sets and premise. Story is weak and incomplete.

guh... Yet another "found footage" film... from the future. Of all the movies i have watched over 29 years of life this is now my third movie i did not finish. If this was released in any format other than "found footage" i would actually probably enjoy it. EDIT: if you don't know what i mean by "found footage" i mean shakey film, moving back and forth in time and from every couple mins to even every few seconds. aggravating.
