Both land momentum and wit at once

Street-level heroes improvise against an alien invasion with real wit
The difference: Scrappy and lo-fi — a tense estate siege, not a polished studio romp

One thread runs through both: time travel
The difference: Trades the wit of Men in Black 3 for an angle of its own

Playful and cerebral in the same breath
The difference: Critics rated this one higher still

The same preoccupation in both: time machine
The difference: Easier on the momentum than Men in Black 3

Sonnenfeld again pairs bickering partners with absurd gadgets in the past
The difference: A notorious misfire — steampunk spectacle smothers the jokes

Action with a pulse of momentum, in both cases
