The same mix in both: ideas, then momentum
The difference: Critics rated this one higher still

Tense science fiction in both cases

Common ground: alien

Cerebral action, and it commits to that

Both lean on momentum more than on thriller

Science fiction with a pulse of tension, in both cases
The difference: Trades the momentum of The Predator for an angle of its own

The same preoccupation in both: alien invasion

One thread runs through both: alien
The difference: Easier on the tension than The Predator

Both keep coming back to the same thing: creature
The difference: 20 years apart, and the 1990s show

Action built on ideas, twice over

Kinetic thriller in both cases

Another one that scratches it
