!!FridgeHorror: It's hard to notice at first, but the BittersweetEnding is more terrifying when you realize that the in-universe makers of the film ''intentionally'' made sure to edit it to have an uplifting ending. [[spoiler: A bunch of people died and the financiers of the mission want you to feel good about it the next time they ask for money.]]

* Exactly what does the octupus at the end eat exactly? There's no evidence of an active ecosystem for a predator of the size shown at the end, so shouldn't it have starved to death due to a lack of viable food long before the crew even gets to Europa?
* Also, exactly how is all this footage getting back to earth? Are they dropping satellite buoys to piggyback all the way to earth? There is no way their communication equipment has the range to beam audio, much less video back to earth as there's range to contend with and background radiation and noise messing with the signal.

* When they were spacewalking along a rotating strut outside their ship it seemed like they should be flung off into space due to centrifugal effects, or at least be holding on much harder. Fridge Brilliance is the realization that they were actually on the non-rotating portion of the ship with the antennas and solar panels, the only part of the ship that could get the wide angle shots shown would be the cameras mounted on the arm holding the crew section which was spun up at the time, making it look like the astronauts were on the spinning section from the cameras point of view.
