Movies that feel likeThe Last Airbender (2010)

A century has passed since the Fire Nation declared war on the other three nations of air, water, and earth in its attempt for global domination. Aang, the long-lost Avatar, is found by Water Tribe siblings Katara and Sokka and must learn to master water, earth, and fire bending to defeat the Fire Nation and restore balance to the world.

If you loved The Last Airbender, the closest films we have are Mortal Kombat II (2026), Mulan (2020) and Highlander (1986). All three share The Last Airbender's kinetic and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Odyssey (2026).
