Europa Report

[Paul Hayes]

Vee and I watched the Europa Report ( currently on Netflix ). It totally blew me away. Not because it was a particularly entertaining, but because it was the first found footage film I genuinely liked, and it had wonderful scientific detail. Very much felt like an Arthur C Clarke story.

It also used non chronological narrative to solve problems in story telling when you have a long space voyage.

Very impressed. I hope this does well. I'd love to see more films with such attention to scientific detail, and believability.

The best to you all. And let's figure a film to watch soon.

I think  I might watch that this evening, thanks Paul.

I found the acting a bit stiff and the characters unbelievable, and I abandoned this film about 20 minutes in, the first time I tried to watch it. But I kept encountering reviews as enthusiastic as Paul's, and decided to give it another go. I was still cringing through the beginning, the script/dialogue just seemed so amateur and forced (personally I love the 'found footage' genre, and the characters aren't very believable in that context, IMO), but I resolved to continue watching, and found myself getting into it and ended up really enjoying the film.
