Movies that feel likeOblivion (2013)
If you loved Oblivion, the closest films we have are TRON: Legacy (2010), The Creator (2023) and Serenity (2005). All three share Oblivion'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 Total Recall (1990).
Can't choose? Answer three questions and get one movie for tonight.
If Oblivion hit the spot, these will too

Kosinski's other gleaming world — pristine surfaces, synth score, lonely awe
The difference: Neon abstraction over mystery — the story is even thinner

Ravishing future-war imagery around a soldier questioning his side
The difference: Its AI-war themes sprawl — less tightly wound than Jack's mystery

Survivors skirting a ruined system where the official story is a lie
The difference: Scrappy, talky crew dynamics instead of sleek solitary mystery

A future built with total visual conviction, strange and immersive
The difference: Campy pop-art chaos — the opposite of Oblivion's austere hush

Big-canvas space adventure that still finds moments of real awe
The difference: Crew banter and optimism — no dread, no unraveling identity

Slick spacecraft spectacle built on franchise-scale craft
The difference: A heist-flavored origin story — familiar beats, no mystery box

The same preoccupation in both: dystopia
The difference: Reviewed even better

One thread runs through both: dystopia
The difference: Trades the scale of Oblivion for an angle of its own

Sky-filling sci-fi spectacle engineered for maximum scale
The difference: Bludgeoning and incoherent — spectacle with no quiet in it

Cerebral where it counts, epic underneath
The difference: Made in the 1970s, in a different era of the craft

Kinetic and awestruck in the same breath

Action with a pulse of bleakness, in both cases
The difference: Sits closer to thriller than Oblivion does
