If The Host hit the spot, these will too

Both are built on the same subject: dystopia
The difference: Reviewed even better

The same preoccupation in both: alien invasion
The difference: Takes it somewhere less romantic than The Host does

One thread runs through both: dystopia

The same mix in both: momentum, then scale

Cerebral where it counts, bleak underneath
The difference: Made in the 1980s, in a different era of the craft

Action with a pulse of momentum, in both cases

Both keep coming back to the same thing: alien invasion

Andrew Niccol working the same nerve twice
The difference: Sits closer to thriller than The Host does

Common ground: interspecies romance

Adventure built on scale, twice over

Cerebral science fiction, and it commits to that

Romantic science fiction in both cases
