Europa Report is a 2013 American science fiction film directed by Sebastin Cordero and written by Philip Gelatt. It stars Christian Camargo, Anamaria Marinca, Michael Nyqvist, Daniel Wu, Karolina Wydra, and Sharlto Copley. A found footage film, it recounts the fictional story of the first crewed mission to Europa, one of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter. Despite a disastrous technical failure that causes the loss of all communications with Earth, and a series of further crises, the crew continues its mission to Europa and finds mounting evidence of life on the moon.[3]
Dr. Samantha Unger, CEO of Europa Ventures, narrates the story of the Europa One mission. Six astronauts embark on a privately funded mission to Jupiter's moon Europa in an attempt to find extraterrestrial life.[4] The crew members are commander William Xu, pilot Rosa Dasque, chief science officer Daniel Luxembourg, marine biology science officer Katya Petrovna, junior engineer James Corrigan, and chief engineer Andrei Blok.
After six months of mission time, a solar storm hits the ship, knocking out communication with mission control. Blok and Corrigan perform an extravehicular activity (EVA) to repair the system from outside, but an accident rips Blok's suit. While he is being guided back into the airlock, Blok notices that Corrigan's suit has been coated with hydrazine and he cannot enter the airlock or else he would contaminate the rest of the ship. Blok attempts to save Corrigan by taking him out of his suit, but he blacks out from a lack of oxygen. Knowing there is no hope for himself, Corrigan pushes Blok into the airlock, thus propelling himself away from the ship. Stranded, he dies in space; the crew continue with the mission, demoralized by Corrigan's death.
After twenty months, the ship goes into orbit around Europa. Its lunar lander lands safely on Europa, but misses its target zone. The crew drills through the ice and releases a probe into the underlying sea. Blok, who is sleep-deprived to the point of concerning the rest of the crew, sees a light outside the ship; he is unable to record it or otherwise convince the crew of its occurrence. The probe is struck by an unknown luminous object and contact with it is lost.
Petrovna insists on collecting samples on Europa's surface; the crew votes and she is allowed to go. Analyzing the samples, Luxembourg discovers traces of a unicellular organism. Petrovna sees a blue light in the distance and decides to investigate it. As she approaches the light, the ice below her breaks and she falls through. Her head-mounted camera continues to broadcast, displaying her last moments as blue light is reflected in her eyes. The camera broadcast then cuts out.
The crew agrees to leave to report their discovery to Earth, but the engines malfunction. As the lander hurtles back to Europa's surface, Xu unbuckles from his seat to dump water shielding to reduce the impact speed. The ship crashes at the originally targeted landing site. On impact, Xu is killed and the lander is damaged, leaking oxygen and losing heat. It begins to sink into the ice.
Blok and Luxembourg put their EVA suits on to make repairs outside the ship. Luxembourg tries to descend but dies as he falls through the ice. Blok knows that there is no chance that he alone will be able to repair the lander before it sinks. Instead, he manages to fix the communication link to the orbiting mother ship, at the expense of turning off the life support systems. Like Petrovna, he sees a blue light and is killed as he falls through the ice.
Alone now, Dasque re-establishes communication with Earth; all the collected images and data that have been saved since the solar storm are relayed to Earth via the mothership. The ice cracks and the lander begins to sink. Anticipating her death, Dasque opens the airlock to flood the lander in hopes of revealing the source of the light. As the water rises to the cockpit, she sees a tentacled, bioluminescent creature rising toward her before the camera cuts out.[5]
The screenplay was written by Philip Gelatt and the production design was done by Eugenio Caballero.[4] It was scored by Bear McCreary.[7] The movie is a found footage film and follows a nonlinear progression.
The crew used as inspiration real footage from the International Space Station and space walks from the Space Shuttle.[5] The space ship was designed through computer graphics, giving high detail to the camera angles to be used in the film. Weightlessness was simulated with balance balls; suspension from wires was used for interior shots. The flooding ship was filmed on a one-third scale model.
For accuracy, the depiction of Europa was based on data from NASA and Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) maps of the moon's surface. The creature was designed to be bioluminescent starting with the initial concepts. The visual effects supervisor stated that the creature was based on a cross of an octopus and a squid, with early sketches resembling a jellyfish and a manta ray.[5]
Europa Report has received generally positive reviews from critics. Rotten Tomatoes gives the film an 81% rating based on 80 reviews, its summary reading, "Claustrophobic and stylish, Europa Report is a slow-burning thriller that puts the science back into science fiction."[9] Review aggregation website Metacritic gives a rating of 68 out of 100 based on reviews from 25 critics.[10]
Jeannette Catsoulis, writing for The New York Times, liked that the movie worked to stay realistic, and found the pairing of Caballero's production design and Chediak's cinematography to be effective.[11]
Justin Chang, of Variety magazine, called the film a "reasonably plausible and impressively controlled achievement".[12] while Space.com said the film was "[one] of the most thrilling and realistic depictions of space exploration since Moon or 2001: A Space Odyssey".[13] Fearnet said the film was "One of the most sincere, suspenseful and fascinating science fiction films of the past few years".[14]
More Netflix provided goodness today, as I tackle a film that can place itself in and about the same territory as the previously viewed Gravity, only made for a substantially lower budget and ultimately going off in a much different direction than its more illustrious peer.
Moreover, the genre provides a cheap and easily filmable way for people to get their visions on the big screen, which is usually a good thing, though it has been responsible for just as much dross, like the Paranormal Activity movies, as it has decent cinematic fare. Europa Report chooses the sci-fi route for its found footage tale, following in the footsteps of the likes of Chronicle and more particularly Apollo 18.
I wanted to like Europa Report. It was a movie that had substantial ambition despite its tiny budget, and it contained some great ideas and interesting sequences. But by the conclusion I had grown somewhat bored, and ultimately disdainful of much of what had been presented beforehand.
Slightly better were the bits with the Rosa character, initially inferred to be some sort of after action report, something I was ready to criticise as too much of a spoiler, but wonderfully inverted in the end, as part of a decent enough set-up for the conclusion.
Then there is the crux that most of the opening two acts are based around, namely the death of the Corrigan character. I found this plot point to be clumsily executed, and created more just to kill time before the actually primary stuff on Europa. Corrigan is as nothing a character as the rest of them, and his narrative and death are clich to the hilt. You only have to see five seconds of him making a video message to a son he misses and you know that he is a dead man walking, a trope that was overused roughly five seconds of it first being created. Then the creators go even further and give him a clich death scene, sacrificing himself to save another crew member and becoming lost in space.
Those sections, most of the second half, are much better, but are still let down by some of the inherent problems. The claustrophobic feel of the spacecraft is magnified by the strange goings on outside, and director Sebastian Cordero subtly and easily raises the tension and mystery bit by bit, reaching a crescendo near the conclusion. This was proper chilling stuff without the resort to big budget CGI, just simple camera work and some distant bright lights. That sort of tension building, the really effective kind, is very hard to do, and Europa Report does it despite the tedious nature of its opening half.
On the acting front, Europa Report is unable to really offer much, a symptom of the small budget and nature of the story that was being told. Anamaria Marinca as the pilot Rosa is probably the best, if only because she is put front and centre of the camera for longer than any of the others. Karolina Wydra as marine biologist Katya also had some very good moments when she went on her walk across Europa, but that was the extent of her acting offering.
None of the crew members are very good then, Marinca excepted, but the fault might lie as much with the material and the set space as it was with the actors. I must be hard to emote in such a cramped, static environment, and with the threadbare dialogue and story they were given. Of course, Sandra Bullock did a much better job in a very similar movie, so it can be done, but she was working with the camera on her constantly I suppose, something no cast member here can claim to have had an opportunity with.
Visually, it seems as if he was caught between his desire to frame this film like it is a found footage documentary and frame it like it is an actual movie, with action and a score. Jack of all trades, master of none.
There are plenty of good visual choices though. The constant changes in the timeline are marked by repeated outside shots of the spacecraft getting nearer or further away from Jupiter or Earth, and the way that the large Jovian giant gets bigger and bigger in the frame as time passes was a neat image choice. Also decent was the approach method taken as the spacecraft lands on Europa, a simple shot above the vessel as it approached the surface, its shadow drawing inexorably closer as it hurtled towards the craggy mass of the Connemara Chaos.
