Suspense in space, about a team of astronauts looking for life on the moons of Jupiter. Found footage still seems like a gimmick with limited potential (or maybe I'm just not seeing it), but here it works pretty well. The shots are mostly credible within the context of the story, and the editing makes sense, allowing the narrative to slip around in time. The word "creepy" comes up a few times in this, and speaking of creepy, wait till you see what the astronauts find under the lunar ice.
