The Mystery of Deep Space
In this episode of Journey Through Sci-Fi, we continue our exploration of the space subgenre by looking at two films that tackle the mystery of deep space.
First we discuss Solaris (1972), Andrei Tarkovsky's philosophical sci-fi classic about a research station orbiting a planet with a mysterious intelligence.
Then we explore Europa Report (2013), a modern space mission film that imagines a journey to Jupiter's moon Europa in search of extraterrestrial life.
Together these films show how science fiction explores humanity's encounter with the unknown beyond Earth.
Journey Through Sci-Fi explores the history of science-fiction cinema one subgenre at a time, pairing films to see how the genre evolves across different eras of filmmaking.
