I liked Europa Report. I haven't even seen TLDoM yet, so I can't trash it but once again, two movies similar in plot come out at the same time. Anyone one to explain that one to me?
The last days on Mars was very entertaining. How can you not love martian zombies?
I found Europa Report mildly boring, and the documentary style really got on my nerves. Stop interrupting the goddamn story every two minutes! Please! We do not care of what the mission planner was thinking back on Earth! Like, at all!
Someone said the TLOD crew was more stupid than the ER one, but it's not true. They did alright. Marko couldn't possibly have expected the ground to collapse, as they had been working there for months. The others couldn't possibly have expected him to become a freaking zombie either.
While the TLOD crew did make a few stupid mistakes, the Europa Report crew was absolutely unchallenged for idiocy.
So the chick (can't remember her name, sorry) goes out on the surface, everyone is telling her to get the *beep* back because $radiation and she still decides to go out even farther? And when she sees luminescence approaching her, she doesn't back up, but she actually goes even closer. Are you frakking kidding me?
Then the others take off without the proper pre-flight checks, blow an engine, decide it could be a good idea to shut the engines IN MID FRAKKING FLIGHT, and crash down into the surface again! Well-frakking-done, idiots!
Who trained these people, the Teletubbies?
It's also idiotic that on a mission of that magnitude they wouldn't have an emergency capsule, designed to just barely get them back into orbit and dock, should anything happen to the primary ship.
Inferior but still worth watching if you like Sci. Fi. It is not that bad when you get right down to it. Don't skip it. It is superior to may other movies.
After watching Europa Report and now recently, TLDOM, Europa report is far superior. Better acting, better script, Much more realism / mystery surrounding Jupiters moon than Mars
Yeah Europa Report is far better. The effects and the story were superior. Acting is about the same, but with a terrible script for TLDoM, Europa beats it at a landslide.
They are both awful. Europe Report had the most incompetent crew ever. Until TLDoM. Neither crew would survive a day in space, even when robots would take care of everything. They would find a way to break something important and then all die.
