If Gattaca hit the spot, these will too

Both are working the same pair: dystopia, space travel
The difference: Takes it somewhere less melancholy than Gattaca does

The same preoccupation in both: dystopia
The difference: Trades the awe of Gattaca for an angle of its own

One thread runs through both: space travel
The difference: Leans harder into adventure than Gattaca does

The same mix in both: ideas, then bleakness

Contemplative and melancholy in the same breath
The difference: Made in the 2010s, in a different era of the craft

Awestruck science fiction in both cases

Drama with a pulse of ideas, in both cases
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Both lean on awe more than on science fiction

Drama built on stillness, twice over

Bleak science fiction, and it commits to that

Cerebral drama, and it commits to that

Both sit in the same contemplative register
In the mood for more cerebral?
