You do not look to have looked at Knowing is a 2009 American science fiction thriller film directed and co-produced by Alex Proyas and starring Nicolas Cage... Very underrated in my view with a thought provoking ending.
At first when I got this notification I was like "oh cool, a movie similar to Europa Report. I loved that movie, I'll have to check it out". I was in a bit disappointed when I realized that this was, in fact, about Europa Report. Also a bit happy though since it seems to be quite an underrated movie. Needs more attention
There's a movie similar to this called RED PLANET starring Val Kilmer, Tom Sizemore, Carrie Anne Moss and Terrence Stamp, as they play astronauts trying to fight for survival after an accident leaves them stranded on Mars, but they soon learn they are not alone.
@@filmcomicsexplained Oh yes, RED PLANET ... The production overspend left them with no money for sound production... It has the worst soundtrack of any Sci-Fi movie 😁 But I do remember enjoying everything else ... GREAT FILM REVIEW AS ALWAYS ... THANK YOU
I first saw the DVD of this film in my university's library. I knew nothing the film, but the title intrigued me because I had read prior about Europa, its potentially liquid water ocean beneath the icy surface, and hence the potential for alien life. I am glad I borrowed it, it's one of my favourite hard scifi films!
This was one of those movies I skipped over constantly when searching through stuff to watch on Netflix, then one day I said "why not" and watched it. I was so happy I did because it was amazing! Really glad you covered it because it definitely seems to be extremely overlooked.
I watched it years ago and recently just found it for free on RUclips since I haven't had Netflix in years now. I forgot how great of a movie it was for being a bit of a budget movie.
I got this movie in a double package with Apollo 18, and I loved Apollo 18, but Europa Report was just OUTSTANDING and marvelous!. Thanks for commenting on it.
Europa One's probably my favorite found footage film, and in my honest opinion the best in the genre. It takes the concept and goes forward in a unique direction rather than rehashing the same ol' tried n' terrible we've seen in shows like Paranormal Activity. Its story was naturally pretty flawed and could have been improved, but it was still highly enjoyable for what it was. I legit wish we could get more movies like this.
The reason why this movie is so good is because it’s hard sci-fi and most movies these days that deal with this topic are Hollywood and implausible. I saw in a comment below that this was similar to red Mars or red planet or something like that but even that movie wasn’t realistic. We need more movies like this even if it’s made in a different way instead of found footage/documentary style.
had this on dvd for years - really good film. my parents aren't into sci-fi at all but they really enjoyed Europa Report. it's a great space adventure film with a bittersweet ending. well worth a watch

I watched this movie when I was like 12 or younger on a flight to Malaysia. Very good, and very memorable movie. Also I rewatched it recently and realized the guy who is left out in space is the same actor in Hardcore Henry which I was surprised about lol
37:54 least convincing "yeah" ever said, he must still be traumatized 😂😂. I saw the movie for the first time in 1998, I was 13 years old & I'm still shaking 😂😂😂😂. Great universe though
A great film for sure I just wish there were more scenes on the moon itself though. Europa is such a fascinating moon though I find Enceladus (orbiting Saturn) most beautiful. I wish there were more films about exploring our solar system. There are many books and novels that Hollywood can make into movies but instead it's the usual Hollywood sci fi stuff we get.
There are some movies, all smaller in size & budget, but still good, more or less, and underrated, which some of don't get much recognition in videos like this, if at al! So if I might make a suggestion for a list... - Kill Switch (2017) - Kill Command (2016) - Higher Power (2018) - Infini (2015) - Rogue (2007) - The Bay (2012) - Mutant Chronicles (2008) - Coma (2019) - Superdeep (2020) - The Blackout (2019 movie & 2020 mini-show version) - Sinking of Japan (2006) Some of these totaly slipped under the radar, for whatever reason. Especialy "Kill Switch, Infini & Coma", even though very nice movies.
BBC tv series Space Odyssey: Voyage to the Planets (Voyage to the Planets and Beyond in the US) has a kind of similar documentary style. Plenty of drama but meant to be scientifically accurate, so no aliens.
5:06...THIS is the reason you don't send people...send probes, send robots, hell send drone. This seems like a good movie because this is exactly what humans would do... Human Thought: If humans experience tragedy and or loss, they try to compensate by putting their lives and or other lives in danger in order to make up for the loss and or tragedy. Ex: The crew lost a crew mate and in order to make up for the lost crew mate they decided to drill in an area that wasn't planned AND 5:06 this lady goes searching for tinker bell in pitch black with a small ass flashlight on a planet that clearly has life on it.
This also sounds like it could the be the prequel to the video game described in Earnest Clines second book Armada. It's a decent book and worth a read but ready player one was better imo.
They seriously need to stop with the search for other life out there. It's a game of poking the bear and yet no one here is prepared for what happens after the bear wakes up.
Are u saying that in real life we shouldn't be poking the metaphorical bear that is the possibility of life just because of the danger it imposes......I'm sorry to say but that's on the same side of thinking if it's dangerous or scary we should get rid of it or can't learn from it, but that's not true. Society should be looking to the stars for answers
Europa was a great film , however they should of spent more movie time showing Europa and the creature/creatures or Neil Blompkamp needs to make a part 2.
At least that alien was probably screwed horribly after eating the astronauts. A massive amount of bacterial contamination would have entered the Europa ocean from their GI tracts. NASA would probably return years later and find the ocean a living soup of E.coli.
I wished I liked it more. Some of it felt very contrieved, and I felt nothing for the crew. I didn't like the end with the Europa creature--seemed corny.
Idk why but the found footage format for me just seems so low quality and completely off putting. If I wanted " found footage " then I would go watch some old RUclips not a movie let alone a production.

Exactly+ the film is fiction

Yeah they were met by creatures that were GENETICALLY ENGINEERED and sent to Mars YEARS before that ate EVERYTHING to produce oxygen as a byproduct!!!

I'm glad you did this movie and thanks again to you and your awesome team.
Yeah they are pretty awesome!
Found this movie randomly on Netflix years ago. Glad I did, it's one of my favorite space movies
Europa Report is an excellent little hard-sci gem
Absolutely! Its a hidden gem
had this on dvd for years - really good film. my parents aren't into sci-fi at all but they really enjoyed Europa Report. it's a great space adventure film with a bittersweet ending.
well worth a watch
Approximately 20% of this video is ad. Skip to 1:20.

Loving the consistency of uploads Niyat!
Awesome man, thanks for tuning in!
I honestly never realized this even released in theaters, I watched it on VOD years ago.
As an IT security and privacy advocate/expert I dont trust ANY company that "claims" to protect my privacy, simply because you never know who owns such company and what they are doing to actually protect you.
That wasn't an alien. A creature on Europa that belongs there would be a native, not an alien. The humans are the aliens in this movie.
Possibly even illegal aliens!
Really enjoyed this movie and was excited to see you make a video of it
Glad we could make you happy!
Still gets to me that people think "military grade" means it's the best of the best, wheras it really means it's the cheapest that works.
I watched this movie when I was like 12 or younger on a flight to Malaysia. Very good, and very memorable movie. Also I rewatched it recently and realized the guy who is left out in space is the same actor in Hardcore Henry which I was surprised about lol
Also Vikus from district nine. Very underrated actor
Why did you cut this one so short for a review? Think this should have been 15 minutes with your advert rather than under 9.
FCE is a great study companion
Rare movie that is way more sci than fi. Loved it and criminally underrated
(Yes) *"i think 🤔 we're alone now there doesn't seem to be any one around?"* 🎶
37:54 least convincing "yeah" ever said, he must still be traumatized 😂😂.
I saw the movie for the first time in 1998, I was 13 years old & I'm still shaking 😂😂😂😂.
Great universe though
This movie scratched my itch for the first Alien movie.
Another outstanding video thanks dude 👍
Thanks mate
@@filmcomicsexplained 🙂👍👍
The frist guy in the video looks like the actor from district 9
Because he is lol
watched this movie so many times. glad u made a video about it
I was wondering have you done a video about Love, Death, and Robots before or do you have any plan for the show or the short films?
You should look at Apollo 18 it isn't the best found footage movie but the creatures are pretty scary
Absolutely!
Great film. Extremely underrated.
This is actually one of the better FF movies I have seen in recent years
Saw this late at night on a weekend once.
The film Channel often has random movies on at that time and that's how I saw it
I've heard about this movie but never saw it.
You gotta watch it dude!
This is a little know sci-fi movie. Very underrated.
Demn didn't knew this exist. Thanks for the introduction!
Anytime!
Now this is how a good found-footage should be...in space.
Ah, those pesky unexpected solar storms.....always ruining things.
A great film for sure I just wish there were more scenes on the moon itself though. Europa is such a fascinating moon though I find Enceladus (orbiting Saturn) most beautiful.

Absolutely Critical Warlock!
Watched this a few times. I found it an enjoyable film. Ever seen/reviewed 'the beyond'
Approaching a million subs and Niyat still takes the time to heart and comment on his comments. Stand up guy
I enjoyed Europa Report when I watched it. A very good found footage film.
Is that Sharlto Copley?

When you look into the abyss it looks back at you

Alone in the universe, not at all.
Alone in isolation, I think, eternally

This was a amazing film 🎥
I like to think of this movie as a sequel to the two Monsters movies.
Lol they forget the ice on Europa is extra thicc no fragile...
Ty 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙
First time hearing of this. Seems well made
how is everyone "falling" through the ice on a moon with almost no gravity?
Because of the octopus-like Alien... 😁
this is a gem of a movies
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😊
And you Shaine!

A trip to the Moon by Georges Méliès, made in 1902
@@willemvandeursen3105 thank you
Is it me or the creature looks like the tumor like pods in the game called Soma where you put your hand into to heal you
they should have a second one like Alien
YES EUROOOOPAAAAAAA REPORRRRT baybey!!!!! (I watched this movie way too many times tbh)
There is no way in hell that we are the only race in this universe
A really fascinating looking creature isn't it?
Andre's actor was in John wick as the Russian mob leader
Arthur C. Clarke's book '2010' has the exact same concept.
I consider this as Barotrama Prequel
So im the only person that thought this movie should have been a short 15 min movie mostly the last few min.
We’re not aloud to visit Europa.
Deep Rising 2 - Giant Squids in Space
I liked this movie simply because it is possible for thermal vents to sustain life. That's documented fact. Science doesn't need "belief" to be true.
I want to see this movie.
Cheers 👍🏻
Anytime Atlas!

Love this movie!!
Are you going to take a look at Phil Tippit's Mad God anytime soon?
Its on the list!
Really? a ad before the video? are we here to listen to a ad on top of the two unskippable ads or are we here listening to your content?
This also sounds like it could the be the prequel to the video game described in Earnest Clines second book Armada. It's a decent book and worth a read but ready player one was better imo.

I tried to watch this movie but only made it a few minutes in. I started getting bored quickly with the slow pace.
Those pesky solar storms
When someone says military grade I genuinely see that as, cheap robust cheap and fixable.
That crew sure as hell, doesn’t look like it’s made up from experts from “across the world”
There is a Rosa And a Luxemburg? Weird
Please do The Ancient Enemy from The Phantoms.
I thought it was a great film, to me that is what a space exploration movie is ...
I would like to see a film of a follow up mission?!...
Europa was a great film , however they should of spent more movie time showing Europa and the creature/creatures or
Neil Blompkamp needs to make a part 2.
Mistake number one was killing the best actor first, hmmmm?
I fail to see what was being explained
Note: Europa is a moon
Bro… everyone knows we aren’t alone
