A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
Robert Joyner
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

This is a film made by heart. If you are a true Sci-fi lover, Don't miss this movie. Flawless Script and honest performances. Characterisation is humane.You remember these characters for a long time after the film is over.

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.

The basic premise and the story the movie is trying to tell is certainly compelling. However, it is told in a wholly unconvincing way.The drama arises almost exclusively from hard-to-believe incidents:– A solar flare destroys communication. Sure, because nobody would expect solar flares to occur.– The attempt to repair results in the death of one and the almost-death of another crew member, apparently because they performed the repair in a haphazard way and didn't even bother to tether themselves.– No other attempt to restore communications is made. I guess they didn't have spare parts?– Radiation from Jupiter makes leaving the craft extremely dangerous. Just leaving when Jupiter is on the other side of the moon didn't occur to anyone.– A fuel line freezes. Because nobody would expect outer space to be *that* cold.– When an important event occurs, we are not shown what happens, but the face of the person it happens to.– Images are mainly derived from cameras installed in the craft. One of them happens to be installed directly behind what appears to be a valve.– Image distortions are typical of analog signals. Apparently, I in the future video is not transferred digitally.And so on and so on. One or two of these I could ignore, in sum they make for a deeply annoying experience.

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.
