If Contact hit the spot, these will too

Contemplative where it counts, cerebral underneath
The difference: 20 years apart, and the 2010s show

Drama built on twists, twice over
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

One thread runs through both: prime number
The difference: Trades the stillness of Contact for an angle of its own

Contemplative mystery, and it commits to that
The difference: Sits closer to thriller than Contact does

Science fiction with a pulse of twists, in both cases
The difference: Takes it somewhere less cerebral than Contact does

Both lean on stillness more than on drama

Twisty mystery in both cases

Both keep coming back to the same thing: scientist

Common ground: religion

Science fiction with a pulse of ideas, in both cases

Both are built on the same subject: wormhole

Cerebral science fiction in both cases
