If Dark Star hit the spot, these will too

Witty and playful in the same breath
The difference: Critics rated this one higher still

Both land ideas and awe at once

Witty comedy in both cases
The difference: A 2010s film, from a different era of filmmaking

Science fiction with a pulse of play, in both cases

Both trade on ideas more than on being comedy
The difference: Missing the awe of Dark Star

Science fiction built on wit, twice over
The difference: None of the awe that defines Dark Star

Playful comedy, and it commits to that
