Jeremy of The Daily Rotation wrote, "Europa Report a disappointing bore that shows brief moments of potential, but ultimately cracks under the lack of focus and pressure applied by the director and his writer."
"ZL: Europa Report is one of those films that stays with you. Released in 2013, this science fiction/horror film brings a realistic fusion of terror and space exploration. In fact, one of the strongest elements of Europa Report is the fact that virtually everything in the film is plausible, if not likely. It involves no supernatural elements, no master-alien races or any other common tropes found in the genre. What's left is a chilling horror film that reminds us of the many dangers associated with space travel, while also calling into question the lengths to which we will go for the goal of discovery."
Entertainment Buddha's Matt Heywood writes, "Over the years Netflix has managed to build up a pretty impressive library of streamable movies. Some are older classics, while others are modern day blockbusters. There’s literally at least one movie in the instant stream lineup that would entertain you, but there’s probably way more than just one. With so many options it’s sometimes hard to wade through the sea of crappy flicks to find the hidden gems, but they do exist, and they’re all worth watching.
One of the latest films that I dug up from Netflix’s instant queue is a sci-fi thriller from 2013 called Europa Report."
WGTC writes: Gripping, dizzying, terrifying and supremely frustrating, Europa Report is an uncompromising science-fiction thriller that first flourishes then falters in its devotion to gritty realism.
