If I Origins hit the spot, these will too

Mike Cahill directing both, with the same fingerprints on each

Both land ideas and stillness at once
The difference: Reviewed even better

Science fiction built on ideas, twice over

Drama with a pulse of ideas, in both cases
The difference: Trades the stillness of I Origins for an angle of its own

Contemplative drama, and it commits to that

Both lean on stillness more than on science fiction


Both working the same science fiction territory
The difference: 31 years apart, and the 1980s show

Cut from the same science fiction cloth

Both know what they want from drama
The difference: Sits closer to action than I Origins does

Science fiction in the same key

Science fiction approached the same way
The difference: Leans harder into animation than I Origins does
In the mood for more cerebral?
