Movies that feel likeAllegiant (2016)

Beatrice Prior and Tobias Eaton venture into the world outside of the fence and are taken into protective custody by a mysterious agency known as the Bureau of Genetic Welfare.

If you loved Allegiant, the closest films we have are What Happened to Monday (2017), The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 (2015) and Dark City (1998). All three share Allegiant's cerebral and bleak feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024).
