Critics Consensus

Claustrophobic and stylish, Europa Report is a slow-burning thriller that puts the science back into science fiction.

Bill Goodykoontz

Arizona Republic

There is something refreshing in the decidedly downbeat "Europa Report," a science-fiction film with the emphasis on science that doesn't cheat on the tension.

Rated: 4/5

Walter V. Addiego

San Francisco Chronicle

Low key and earnest, Sebastin Cordero's "Europa Report" makes compelling use of familiar genre material to create an intelligent science fiction thriller.

Rated: 3/4

There are scenes of unutterable beauty in Europa Report, a low-budget space exploration sci-fi suspenser from Ecuadorian director Sebastin Cordero.

While it gets a little cheesy and more sic-fi toward the end, it's still fun and dramatic...

Rated: B+

CNET

Prepare to be sucked into a vacuum of suspense, made more heart-pumping by Europa Report's preoccupation with plausibility.

Deep Focus Review

Cordero can’t seem to decide if he’s made a horror movie or a heady sci-fi tale, and his genre mashup feels unbalanced for it.

Rated: 2.5/4

If you're looking for a Hollywood blockbuster with big-name stars and jaw-dropping special effects, this ain't it. What this film does deliver, however, is some pretty good science along with quality acting, well crafted sets, and a solid storyline.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

I hate this whatever it is. Everyone is so fake that you can tell they are acting like instagram post. The writing is just awful and acting well...

This is one of the few found footage movies I've seen, and it was an interesting watch. However, it's nothing to write home about, as they say. If one of my friends invited me over to watch this, I'd still watch it with them because it's a good movie, but I wouldn't be jumping up and down about it.

It has a sci-fi tag, but three out of six crews died because they don't have a safety wire. It has an alien creature, but it looks like a squid, just like any other cheap space movies. It has a thriller tag, but the plot is so dull that i almost fall asleep. One of the worst space movies ever.

Europa Report could take pointers from "Prospect" on how to do a sci-fi on a low budget. It's passable and somewhat scary, but I hardly cared about the characters.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Good movie, however i think it could have been a bit longer to allow the Director show some more the strange lifeforms in Europa.
