Movies that feel likeThe Creator (2023)

Amid a future war between the human race and the forces of artificial intelligence, a hardened ex-special forces agent grieving the disappearance of his wife, is recruited to hunt down and kill the Creator, the elusive architect of advanced AI who has developed a mysterious weapon with the power to end the warβ€”and mankind itself.

If you loved The Creator, the closest films we have are The Wandering Earth II (2023), Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) and Serenity (2005). All three share The Creator's cerebral and kinetic 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).
