bad movie. Not as good as "Apollo 18"

The following is a new addition, please read it carefully: "Those who view this film as a so-called "hard sci-fi" and give me a bad review of the article are really ridiculous, I'm afraid you didn't even read my article seriously! Just you Do you also know what hard sci-fi is? Europa is likely to have life, but will it be that bird?” Even if Europa really has life, it is impossible to evolve with so many things that would melt so thick , The ice layer that is close to absolute zero (note, it is absolute zero), and then found creatures with no prey on the surface of Europa, and humans turned out to be the first prey they captured in this way of predation! "Do you understand what I mean? To put it bluntly, as a hard sci-fi film, this film is unqualified, do you understand? Hard sci-fi is based on rigorous science! Could this octopus creature exist? Don't say that the laws of physics on alien planets are different! Nonsense. , at least the physical and biochemical laws of the solar system are one! Otherwise, people will not even think about living when they go out of space and to the moon. I think this film is good, please answer, how many times the amount of water on Europa is on Earth? Don't check What is the future fate of Europa? Can you infer from the current data? What is hard science fiction? Don't read it, you can't understand it even with your IQ, please leave!"

Because of the leak of the on-demand platform, I was fortunate enough to watch this film in advance. I've been looking forward to this movie for a long time, and then it turned out to be a disappointment. The narrative style of "Apollo 18" is not even as good as "Apollo 18". I feel like I'm fooling people. The reasons are as follows:

1. There are many pictures with bad signal in the whole film, and it’s okay to be abusive at the beginning. The key is that the whole film is abusive, and it does not conform to the reality. Even if the communication with the earth is interrupted by the solar flare, even short-distance communication is so scum? Just a strange creature emitting a little radiation will destroy your short-range communication. This communication technology is too rubbish, right?

2. As a pseudo-documentary, the rationality and science are extremely poor. The only highlight of the whole film is the creature that glows and emits strong radiation like an octopus at the end of the film, but is this creature really possible? ? Even if there is life on Europa, it is impossible to evolve with so many creatures that melt so thick and close to absolute zero (note, it is absolute zero) and then find that there is no prey on the surface of Europa. , and humans turned out to be the first prey they captured in this way of predation! Don't make "Euro Report", go make "Alien" or "Alien Conspiracy"!

3. The location is unknown. I don't understand, does the director want to make a soft sci-fi like "Alien", or does he want to make a pseudo-documentary like "Apollo 18"? If you are shooting a soft sci-fi and focus on the plot, this picture, this editing, and this plot are obviously wrong. If you are shooting a pseudo-documentary, there are too many unrealistic points. The thickness of the ice is so thin because of the corrosion of the octopus? The power of octopus creatures is so great, but you find that this ability is useless unless it is against humans? Cyanobacteria single-celled organisms living on surfaces at absolute zero? Are you shooting the dual universe?

Originally, I was thinking of doing a news feature for the unit's website about this movie, but after reading the script, I lost my mood at all.

    Hard sci-fi. Although the editing makes people a little uncomfortable, but when I look back on the whole film, I still feel a lot of taste.

    A message on IMDB: A movie that a true science fiction fan should watch, without many virtual special effects, big-name stars or actions. Some are realistic style, scientific, and real human emotions. It tells us a plain story that astronauts will sacrifice for science while doing their work, and it is not as good as imagined. The script and characters are in line with reality, and the realistic filming style of the show is far more attractive than cheap special effects...

Europa Report quotes

  • James Corrigan: [aiming his camera out the window] It's kind of ironic really. So little space in here, and so much space out there.

  • Dr. Samantha Unger: As the ship passed the moon, it had already gone farther than any human being had ever gone before. Think about that. Across all of human history, that moment was the farthest anyone had ever gone. But they still had millions upon millions of miles to go. Our craft was heading for a moon of Jupiter known as Europa.
