"Europa Report" is a first-rate movie in documentary style. It's told by the actors as the drama unfolds with little commentary from others. One problem with this style is that the movie can slow down, which happens with this movie. It's not too bad, though. There is plenty of suspense, and the actors respond realistically to the action. The set is excellent, and that helps the actors fill out the roles. If you're looking for blockbuster action, this film is not for you. If you're interested in serious sci-fi that explores the possibility of life in our solar system, this movie is for you. It's a fun movie with a good payoff at the end.

I missed this movie when it came out in theaters so when i saw it on sale at Best Buy I picked it up. I was not disappointed. It is a nice change from the silly "blow-them-up" rubbish that passes for science fiction. The acting & direction are consistently good. For the most part, the directory resists the temptation of sudden loud noises to startle the audience. If you prefer "Star Trek" to "Star Wars" you will like this movie. If you just like watching things blow-up with loud noises then this is not for you.

I heard a lot of buzz on the internet about this movie. It was one of the first crowd-funded movies, and also was one of the first which was released as streaming video simultaneously with a limited theatrical release. Despite a relatively low budget this movie has high production values and is a well-crafted, well acted movie. The movie is done in the style similar to many reality TV shows out today but it works. If you like science fiction adventure stories, particularly if you liked The Martian, check this movie out.

The Blu-Ray is clear and has good sound. Go to IMDb if you're wondering about the plot and reviews. One thing to consider - most of the movie is shot from the standpoint of crew quarter cameras, or helmet cams to try and give the film a more documentary feel. It worked for me...

From all the hype to critics reviews, every one says this is a superior sci-fi film. Did anybody bother to watch it? No suspense, no mystery, below average acting and predictable from start to finish. It's like a bad compilation of a few quality science fiction films. Dialogue is boring, special effects were average at best, and it presents you with nothing you haven't seen a dozen times before. I was waiting for it to get better, but it never does. My recommendation; rent it first. That way you won't waste as much money as you would buying it.
