Europa Report (2013)
7/10
You may like it if you are a "core scifi fan"

Warning: Spoilers
The premises are good, the "documentary" style give a sense to the limited camera angles and limited locations.

However, the iper-realism of the spaceship and video footage is not lining up with a "stupid" script that throw things in to build up a story that is almost non existent.

The astronauts that are dying are all doing so in a stupid and frankly unrealistic way, they take risks to easily and they seems a group of friends deciding were is safer to camp with the tend rather than professional astronauts.

When things start to go wrong they start to behave even in a more childish and unreasonable way, like when out on the surface one of the character being exposed to high radiation levels and being short on oxygen indulge in coming back and walk even further going of course to die.

Or the copilot un-fasten from the seat while the are doing a crash landing...

And the shining octopus at the end just destroy the "documentary" and "realistic" feeling of the movie...

I gave it a 7 because I'm a space nerd and I enjoy to look at spaceships for a 2 hours movie, you've been warned anyway, avoid if you're not a core scifi fan
