Movies that feel likeLucy (2014)

A woman, accidentally caught in a dark deal, turns the tables on her captors and transforms into a merciless warrior evolved beyond human logic.

If you loved Lucy, the closest films we have are Krrish (2006), Godzilla (2014) and They Call Me Jeeg (2016). All three share Lucy'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 Warriors of Future (2022).
