Europa Report; A Closer Look
Europa Report: A Closer Look
Europa Report gives its viewers a unique perspective into the life of deep space exploration. This film combines the Sci-fi thriller with the Documentary type film in a spectacular way. In typical sci-fi thrillers, danger takes the shape of an alien, a virus, or some sort of space madness that picks off the members of a spaceship's crew one by one, and this film does just that. Sebastian Cordero, the director of the film, strives for absolute realism using fantastic set design and a documentary footage style in its depiction of a manned mission to Europa, a moon of Jupiter with liquid water that presents the best chance for finding extraterrestrial life in our solar system. Europa Report focuses on the preface of discovering extraterrestrial life within our solar system. Scientists have discovered that Jupiter’s 4th largest moon, Europa, has a hot, molten core. That means that beneath Europa's thick crust of ice, there's liquid water and super-hot undersea vents, much like those on earth where it's believed early life on this planet may have began. Europa may be the most likely place for us to find life in our solar system, and Europa Report is a dramatization of what a mission to Europa searching for it might be like.
There are cameras mounted everywhere in Europa One’s confines, which are supposed to allow people on Earth to follow along with the mission’s progress. But six months into the three-year-long mission, something goes wrong which prevents anyone on Earth knowing what’s happening from there on out. The audience knows the scenario the incident creates from the start of the film but they have to wait until halfway through before knowing what the incident actually is.
One is lead to believe that in most found footage films that you’re supposed to be watching a documentary that has been edited for short and emotional impact, but Europa Report goes a step further. The film actually includes all kinds of advanced filming
