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.

Low key and earnest, Sebastian Cordero's "Europa Report" makes compelling use of familiar genre material to create an intelligent science fiction thriller.
Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle

There are scenes of unutterable beauty in Europa Report, a low-budget space exploration sci-fi suspenser from Ecuadorian director Sebastian Cordero.
Tirdad Derakhshani, Philadelphia Inquirer
Rotten
What isn't straightforward about the plot is either hackneyed, implausible, or both.
Mark Feeney, Boston Globe

The idea that life evolved independently on Europa is perfectly plausible-and that makes what would be a fun and exciting film in any case all the more worth watching.
Michael D. Lemonick, TIME Magazine
