What they share

Theysit in Adventure / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to First Men in the Moon, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

Arizona desert, dusty sunset, a cryptic cave. A worn leather journal, a mysterious portal, a clash of alien armies. Stanton grounds his sci-fi spectacle.
