Europa Report - 2012 - 7/10
[Image: beh54.jpg]
Better than expected SciFi, as two year mission heads to Europa (Jupiter) to see if life exists under frozen ice.
Not a fan of “found footage” but this was cleverly done. Helped that the science in this seemed accurate.
Problems and difficulties grew out of accidents or equipment malfunctions.
Normally solvable, yet the crew is so very far away (6 - 9 million miles, depending on orbit).
Believable characters help, as are situations.
Found myself thinking, “I wouldn’t do that.” but, of course, the crew had traveled two years, all that distance, without cryo-sleep or other such fantasy. They simply had to take chances.
Great Bear McCreary score.
