Europa Report

So I'm apparently a month behind the times, but I just discovered the trailer for Europa Report, a movie coming to theaters August 2, that seems to have been made specifically for ME. Behold.




Word on the interwebs is that the science is spot-on, and it even has the endorsement of Phil Plait. So exciting!  It's great to see science fiction that is based in reality, not just because of the suspension of disbelief factor for us space nerds, but I hate it when fiction misinforms the public.  It's cool to imagine different possibilities (yay, Star Trek!) but it's not cool to take advantage of an uneducated public's wishful thinking (boo, mermaid "documentaries"!).

Anyway, according to Universe Today, the premiere for this film is going to be at the Hayden Planetarium. How cool is that!? There's even a cool promotional website to make the whole thing look real.

There was already a lot of movies this year that I was excited about, but this just took the top of the list.
