Movies that feel likeThe Rocketeer (1991)
If you loved The Rocketeer, the closest films we have are Fantastic Voyage (1966), Until the End of the World (1991) and Forbidden Planet (1956). All three share The Rocketeer's epic and cerebral feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Abyss (1989).

If The Rocketeer hit the spot, these will too

Epic where it counts, cerebral underneath
The difference: 25 years apart, and the 1960s show

Adventure built on scale, twice over
The difference: Sits closer to drama than The Rocketeer does

Both lean on ideas more than on science fiction

Joe Johnston working the same nerve twice
The difference: Leans harder into action than The Rocketeer does

Common ground: superhero

Epic adventure, and it commits to that

The same preoccupation in both: steampunk
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Science fiction with a pulse of ideas, in both cases

Adventure in the same key

Both keep coming back to the same thing: superhero

Both know what they want from science fiction

The adventure is handled with the same confidence
