Europa Report - 2013 - 7/10
Thought provoking SciFi follows two year mission heading to Europa (Jupiter) to see if life exists under frozen ice.
Not a fan of “found footage” but this is cleverly done. Also helps that the science in this seems accurate.
Problems and difficulties stem from accidents or equipment malfunctions.
Normally solvable, yet the crew is so very far away (6 - 9 million miles, depending on orbit).
Believable characters help, as do situations.
Found myself thinking, “I wouldn’t do that.” but, of course, the crew had traveled two years, all that distance, without cryo-sleep or other such fantasy. They simply had to take chances.
Great Bear McCreary score.
