If Avalon hit the spot, these will too

Future runs into dystopia in each of them
The difference: Not nearly as obsessive as Avalon

Game sits at the heart of each
The difference: Reviewed a good deal more coolly

Both keep circling back to dystopia

The same mix in both: momentum, then ideas

Bleak action, and it commits to that

Mamoru Oshii directing both, with the same fingerprints on each
The difference: Leans animation where Avalon does not

Science fiction built on momentum, twice over
The difference: A 1970s film, from a different era of filmmaking

Cerebral action in both cases

The same preoccupation in both: video game
The difference: Plays it as thriller more than Avalon does

Science fiction with a pulse of momentum, in both cases

Simulation is the engine of both

Both trade on bleakness more than on being action
