Europa Report
In this found-footage, sci-fi thriller a small team of astronauts are sent on an exploratory mission to Europa - Jupiter’s fourth moon and the possible site of an ocean that harbours extraterrestrial life. Stars Sharlto Copley (District 9) and Michael Nyqvist (Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol).
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 astronauts to confirm the data and explore the revolutionary discoveries.

The sights are gorgeous - a seamless mix of archival imagery and impressively rendered digital views of our galaxy - and the science is, to layman's eyes and ears, more than credible.

The New York Times
This sincerity, coupled with a documentary-style approach, can feel a little dry, but the script's refusal to go to extremes only raises its plausibility.

A rare modern science-fiction film where the filmmakers aren't afraid to pack actual science into their narrative.
