If Ad Astra hit the spot, these will too

Two things both keep coming back to: planet mars and astronaut
The difference: Trades the melancholy of Ad Astra for an angle of its own

Cerebral and contemplative in the same breath
The difference: Takes it somewhere less melancholy than Ad Astra does

Both land awe and loneliness at once
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Common ground: fathers and sons
The difference: Sits closer to action than Ad Astra does

Science fiction built on melancholy, twice over
The difference: 22 years apart, and the 1990s show


Science fiction with a pulse of stillness, in both cases
The difference: Leans harder into thriller than Ad Astra does

Both lean on awe more than on drama

Melancholy science fiction in both cases

Both keep coming back to the same thing: astronaut

Both are built on the same subject: solitude

Drama built on ideas, twice over
