Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

eichler2 Take away the flashy special effects and this movie is basically a retread of many black and white "sci fi" movies from the 40s and 50s. The premise is that the potential for life has been found on Jupiter's moon Europa, so a crew comprised of top experts in their fields is assembled and sent to investigate. Somewhere beyond Mars, solar flares damage their communication equipment, cutting their link to Earth. This film is a now-declassified report of what happened to the mission.To achieve the documentary look and feel, the movie combines interviews with mission personnel here on Earth with jumpy, flicking footage from the space ship's various cameras. To further dramatize and confuse things, the story is told out of sequence. You may be wondering where the ship footage comes from if communications with Earth were cut off and the beginning of the movie strongly implies that the mission ends tragically. Never fear, everything is explained by the end of the film.For a film that prides itself on being scientifically accurate, there are a few howlers that break any kind of suspension of disbelief. The one that got me was when they land on Europa and the captain announces that the outside temperature is "holding steady at absolute zero". What a terrible, ridiculous line. And then to make matters worse, a scene or two later darkness falls upon the moon and another crew member notes that the temperature outside is dropping. Apparently below absolute zero.The movie looks great and has a decent premise, the acting is...acceptable and the ending is actually pretty cool. I really wanted to like this movie - it could have been a great sci-fi film. But instead it goes for jump scares, unnecessary confusion and an eerie atmosphere that turns it into a so-so horror flick.

Stevieboy666 Found footage movie about a doomed manned space mission to explore Jupiter's ice moon Europa. Despite a low budget we have a riveting, claustrophobic and suspenseful film which at times made me feel like I was actually on board with the crew. One of the most memorable scenes involves one of the astronauts floating away from the craft to his inevitable death. Truly haunting. As others have pointed out there are goofs, such as the ability to communicate with Earth without any time delay, but these don't detract from this being a really good, intelligent sci fi movie.

BadAids A solid B-movie sci-fi flick. Done in a video-diary format, that takes place primarily on a cramped spaceship. Far from a game changer but when considering its low budget, this was a competent little space horror. However, I wouldn't recommend this to anybody who dislikes found footage movies.

Reno Rangan Space exploration themes are the next big thing in cinema, as well as in the real world. So there some good films, I mean not science fiction, but real science based films were made in the recent times. This is one looked like one of those until the final scene. According to be, it looked so good, but when the end came, it ruined everything.It was more like a docu-adventure-drama, but was a found-footage type film. I wanted to see it ever since I saw 'The Last Days on Mars', because people were comparing between these two. I think both these titles looks same, except different planet exploration. The 99 per cent of the film looked like a real mission, except the conclusion.The writer, director and all the actors did good. The entire story takes place on a spaceship and a few scenes on the Jupiter's moon Europa, obviously a setting. If you like space travel concepts, you will enjoy it. It was just like 'The Martian', but it did not have popular actors, otherwise would have made a little buzz. Most of you have already seen it, if not try it, it is worth if you are a sci-fi fan.6/10
