Review: Europa Report

Europa_Report_Poster “Europa Report” is a highly effective documentary-style piece that puts you in the heart of a deep space mission, letting you feel the thrill and then, ultimately, the utter terror.

The film focuses on Europa Ventures’ privately funded mission to the Jupiter moon. The company recruits a team of six astronauts and tasks them with documenting the existence of single-celled life beneath Europa’s icy surface. All goes well during the lengthy deep space trek, but upon their arrival, a string of severe calamities puts the crew’s discoveries and lives in jeopardy.

“Europa Report” is POV filmmaking at its best. The tale is told from the found footage perspective, with recordings from the mission intercut with post-mission reactions from the folks in charge back on Earth. Not only is the format successful in delivering a meaty, suspenseful narrative, but it’s also one that keeps you guessing. While Cordero does deliver a very clear-cut presentation of the intricate details of the mission, he also doesn’t spoon feed information and emotion leaving part of the experience up to you. The film naturally makes you wonder, what might you do in such a situation – would you risk your life for the discovery? And that question doesn’t just apply at the onset of the mission. Later on, when things get dangerous, it hits you again, but within an entirely different context.

But for now, we bring you part one in which Cordero offers a spoiler-free sense of what it took to bring the Europa Ventures mission to life by touching on the following topics …
