Movies that feel likeDredd (2012)
If you loved Dredd, the closest films we have are The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (2023), The Book of Eli (2010) and Snowpiercer (2013). All three share Dredd's kinetic and cerebral 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).

If Dredd hit the spot, these will too

Both are working the same pair: dystopia, survival

Both are built on the same subject: life after the end
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Both keep coming back to the same thing: dystopia
The difference: Sits closer to drama than Dredd does

Kinetic and cerebral in the same breath

Bleak action, and it commits to that

The same preoccupation in both: life after the end
The difference: Made in the 1970s, in a different era of the craft

Common ground: police
The difference: Leans harder into thriller than Dredd does

Both lean on momentum more than on science fiction

Action built on ideas, twice over

Science fiction with a pulse of bleakness, in both cases

Kinetic action in both cases

Science fiction with a pulse of ideas, in both cases
