Joe Johnston working the same nerve twice
The difference: Reviewed even better

Both are Joe Johnston's work, and they rhyme
The difference: Easier on the tension than Jurassic Park III

Both land scale and ideas at once

The same mix in both: tension, then momentum

Both are built on the same subject: dna
The difference: Sits closer to drama than Jurassic Park III does

Adventure built on scale, twice over

Tense thriller, and it commits to that

Science fiction with a pulse of ideas, in both cases

Both keep coming back to the same thing: mission

Kinetic action in both cases

The same preoccupation in both: airplane

Both lean on scale more than on adventure
