A \u201cMust See\u201d for all Los Angeles 2013 Film Fest goers, and one that I know all my fellow NASA space tweeps will embrace, is EUROPA REPORT. Written by Philip Gelatt and directed by Sebastian Cordero, EUROPA REPORT takes the science that we know and have hard evidence of and bump it up tenfold creating an intriguing and tension-filled journey of discovery.\u00a0 Not only using imagery from NASA, JPL and SpaceX, Cordero consulted with the best and the brightest of each group to insure that the science and technology in the film are as accurate as possible.<\/p>\n

Forget about putting a man on Mars, how about putting a team on Jupiter\u2019s moon of Europa?\u00a0 We know there is evidence of water under the frozen crust of the moon which means the possibility of life.\u00a0 Impatient and wanting to get a jump on any discovery of life in the universe beyond Earth, a privately funded expedition comprised of a small, diverse, international crew sets out on the multi-year mission heading for Europa. With a multiplicity of cameras throughout their orbiter, as well as multiple exterior mounts, live feeds are transmitted 24\/7 back to the science team on Earth.\u00a0 But what happens when the feed stops and all communication ceases?\u00a0 Is the mission – and the crew – dead?<\/p>\n

With characters that are fully realized on the page, the ensemble performances elevate each to resonating three-dimensional levels that propel the story with emotion and humanity.\u00a0 Calling on the talents of Michael Nyquist, Daniel Wu, Karolina Wydra and others as the astronauts with Dan Fogler and Embeth Davidtz leading the team on Earth, there\u2019s not a weak link in the bunch.\u00a0 The cast is truly symbiotic, much like an actual space station crew.<\/p>\n

Using a \u201cfound footage\u201d format with faux documentary styling, Cordero captivates, delivering science fiction at its purest and most unfettered achieving a perfect blend of science fact with realistic fiction.\u00a0 And thankfully, this \u201cfound footage\u201d is not the herky-jerky \u201cBlair Witch\u201d type.\u00a0 No surprise here at the breathtaking beauty and excellence of the cinematography with Enrique Chediak at the helm.\u00a0 Steely bluish denatured interiors of the orbiter captured with a claustrophobic almost fish-eye lensing showcase and celebrate the geometric interior design of the orbiter while exteriors of space will have you gasping at the heart-stopping beauty of the universe.\u00a0 Perfectly executed, camera work and editing keeps the audience as gravityless as the orbiter crew.<\/p>\n

Bear McCreary\u2019s score keeps a constant pulsating heartbeat going as if we were in Mission Control listening to medical monitors.<\/p>\n

Raising fascinating existential questions about man and where one draws the line in the stars – When and if do we stop searching and discovering?\u00a0\u00a0 Is the life of one man or a crew worth the price of knowledge? – EUROPA REPORT will have you thinking about the stars and beyond and the heroes that lead the charge.<\/p>\n

Embrace space exploration and the best of mankind with EUROPA REPORT.<\/strong><\/p>\n
