Something under the ice
This sci-fi film was not able to declare itself loudly. That is why I heard about him a very small number of viewers, and could appreciate even less.
The history in the genre of pseudo-documentary record looks plausible enough, and is told from several sides at once. One of the parties is the company of the employers, who actually organized the flight to the moon of Jupiter, which was symbolic for all mankind. The other side is the cameras located on the very ship of the participants in the flight, and finally the final one, it is the participants themselves.
Using all these techniques, the monotonous and stingy on the actions of the film looks more cheerful and interesting.
If it is short about the plot, then on Europe, the satellite of Jupiter was found water, and therefore most likely there is life. It would seem that the plot is typical: signs of life, an expedition, and something that will necessarily interfere with the great discovery. Yes, it is, but you really believe what is happening on the screen. Not only because of the manner of presentation of the material, but because of the acting.
Characters in the frame do not overplay, they behave really like professionals who have been trained for years (Hello Alien: a covenant).
Adequate reactions to what is happening, a minimum of panic and the maximum scientific approach. In a small, very momentary frame, each of the crew was uncovered, told about his past and about the motivational goal, which forced him to make this big step for humanity. Consequently, empathy for the characters is there, some, but there is.
The action itself does not stand still. We will show the flight, the orbit of Europe, and the subsequent action will unfold directly in Europe. Here it is worth replacing some stinginess with special effects, and in general the scope is not the same as we would like, but this is all a modest budget.
But, despite this drawback, the author decided not to jump higher than his head, everything turned out to be concise, but pleasant and as credible as possible.
This film is obligatory for viewing to all those who are not indifferent to this genre. The story is interesting, characters and actions, too. Perhaps I wanted something more, but thanks to that. The cinema did not roll into the next Aliens or just into the meat grinder.
P.S I can’t get rid of the thought that the final moment of the film very much reminds me of the game “SOMA”, although of course it’s a bit of something else, but there are common intersecting lines.
