Critics Consensus

Claustrophobic and stylish, Europa Report is a slow-burning thriller that puts the science back into science fiction.

4/5

There is something refreshing in the decidedly downbeat "Europa Report," a science-fiction film with the emphasis on science that doesn't cheat on the tension.

3/4

Low key and earnest, Sebastin Cordero's "Europa Report" makes compelling use of familiar genre material to create an intelligent science fiction thriller.

There are scenes of unutterable beauty in Europa Report, a low-budget space exploration sci-fi suspenser from Ecuadorian director Sebastin Cordero.

While it gets a little cheesy and more sic-fi toward the end, it's still fun and dramatic...

Prepare to be sucked into a vacuum of suspense, made more heart-pumping by Europa Report's preoccupation with plausibility.

2.5/4

Cordero can’t seem to decide if he’s made a horror movie or a heady sci-fi tale, and his genre mashup feels unbalanced for it.

Incredibly boring and I hated every character on the ship. The constant buzzing in and out of communications got very tedious. Just a bad movie.

A great thriller with some of the human behaviors that would not be expected of a tight, disciplined, space-ready crew but nonetheless it was interesting all the way up to the very end. I would definitely watch more movies like this.

Europa Report is a slow paced and thrilling sci-fi film. It was interesting to see the perspective of the crew through cameras and getting the story through flashbacks until the present moment.

It was a good movie and good taking. May be not an absolute masterpiece but good homework was done in making the movie.

This movie accentuates much of the technical/scientific aspect of space travel but, at the same time, makes for a compelling look at the human aspects of that particular kind of stress. I interpreted the appearance of a somewhat recognizable "alien" life form at the end of the film as simply confirming that life did indeed exist on Europa. Overall, a refreshingly intelligent film.

For those who can sit through this film till the end, it is a good storyline. The problem with the movie is getting that far. It is extremely boring for long periods.
