Europa Report (2013)
This is another 'found footage' sci-fi, survival-thriller/horror flick but sharing almost a similar premise (moon),
Apollo 18 was much...much better. The good cast kinda wasted in this frustratingly slow-burn 'same old' story where an international crew of 6 astronauts embark on a mission to Europa, one of the largest Jupiter's moons and as you can guess, after a technical failure they loses all communications with Earth mission control & then facing a series of deadly crises, the crew still stupidly continues their mission to Europa and encounters something unknown...a baffling mystery...(or who gives a fuck?!)...a bioluminescent predatory creature that's more of a cross between octopus and squid!
Besides, the very usual slow-burn nature of the film with boring 'atmospheric' space ship environment factor & uninteresting characters, another major disappointment comes through the point of disclosure of the creature...there's only a glimpse of it near the very end of the movie. I just don't understand this! If you're making a sci-fi horror flick that's got a mysterious creature, then try to show or reveal it properly...if you got a budget problem, then stop making this. Every unknown/interesting or deadly creature needs a fair amount of screen time in every movie. If you can't make it happen, then that's your off-limit, try something different within your budget, talent or whatever you're capable of showing in a movie.
Not worth your time, IMO. Skip it.
