With a mold-breaking style, "Europa Report" is a new approach to old sci-fi tropes.

Europa Report is a film that has left me completely divided. On a technical level it's a masterpiece. The editing is brilliant, with multiple shots filling the screen at times, inter-cut with talking heads, and a live 'breaking news' style press conference of the Europa mission. What's really great, though, are the awesome visual effects which are nearly photo realistic at times. You really do feel the isolation of space, and the surrounding planets and planet surfaces, as well as the Europa shuttle, are all authentically realized on such a small budget. So when it comes to strictly film making terms, Europa Report is something of a fascinating exercise. Unfortunately, the actual story being told doesn't hold up. Not much really takes place, and the initial intrigue soon begins …
