Through found footage, this tells the story of the Europa crew. They flew into deep space to recover samples from Europa, one of Jupiter's moons. The belief is that water is just below its icy surface, and possibly other forms of life.
This film was directed by Sebastian Cordero. This modern science fiction, found footage, film plays on a very familiar storyline. Explorers go into space and encounter something unexpected. However, this film does feel more honest scientifically. The story actually uses found footage to add to the suspensefulness of the film. It also feels more like a documentary with inserted interviews and news reports. This makes it more sympathetic and almost more realistic. There is a lot kept hidden from view, such as the creatures themselves. The frozen moon itself is only briefly glimpsed. The cast was great, but not much was created for the personalities. Anamaria Marinca played the role of Rosa Dasque. She was great in her compelling role. Her desperation brought suspense to the film. Michael Nyqvist played the role of Andrei Blok. His emotions gave the film its sympathetic edge.
I give this film 5 out of 5 stars! This is one of the best found footage films I've seen recently. It keeps enough in the dark to keep it suspenseful. It just needed a little story for the characters.
