The film is watchable, but nothing more. It is kept afloat by the atmosphere of space, emptiness, contrast of enclosed space and icy expanses behind the window. Everything else is very bad. The plot for 5 minutes: flew to Europe, an octopus emerged from under the ice and ate everyone. What to shoot here for an hour and a half, I do not understand. In theory, this is the plot of the plot of one series of a space series (the piece that is shown before the opening credits). But after that, there must be a story. And it would understand who allowed such an expedition and that the monster was not so simple, and he needed something, and he was connected with someone, and someone of the people was guilty of everything, and there is some problem with such expeditions, and something happened between the crew members, and it all ended in something incredible, and in some organization there were consequences. I'd like to see that. And things like that have been done in Star Trek over and over again. And there are 900 episodes in all the series together. I didn't miss it. And there is no plot in this tintz. "The Monster Ate Everyone" is not a story.
There are also many scientific errors:
- The team loses an astronaut during a spacewalk because he pushed back slightly from the spacecraft. For some reason, he didn't have a safety cable or a jet engine in his suit.
An interplanetary ship and a lander are not the same thing. The second part of the first, the main ship always remains in orbit, at least one person remains on it and it does not land on the planet (I understand that we have not yet flown anywhere, but this is the developed scheme of manned flights in this and in this country). At least one person had to survive on this expedition.
- The ice on Europa is several kilometers thick, and in the film the monster shines through it with lights and tentacles by the legs.
- The team in the film has only one ice probe, one communications antenna. .
But most of all, I did not even like the scientific errors and the primitiveness of the plot, but the fact that in the end, after the denouement, a woman from the MCC appears, pushes a tearful pathosy speech and essentially explains to the viewer what a wonderful film he has just watched. Thanks, I'll handle it.
