From Ghost in the Shell to Tenet, here are 10 sci-fi movies to watch after Inception, and how they compare to Nolan’s instant-classic film.
There are several great sci-movies like Inception for those looking for something similar to Christopher Nolan's dream-heist film. Explaining Inception’s ending can be difficult, but Nolan's unique heist movie does leave audiences wanting more. Similar to all non-Batman Nolan films, Inception never got a sequel, yet other sci-fi stories can scratch the itch for more puzzling films in which everything is not as it seems.
Ghost in the Shell has served as an inspiration for several works of fiction, and there are similarities between the 1995 animated movie and Inception. The discussion of what it means for something to be real, which sets the tone for Cobb’s story in Inception and culminates in the question of whether Cobb’s top totem stopped spinning, is present in Ghost in the Shell. The difference is that the Major does not question necessarily the world around her but rather her own existence.
9 Minority Report Tom Cruise’s sci-fi movies include Minority Report, an instant classic directed by Steven Spielberg based on The Minority Report by Phillip K. Dick. Similar to Inception, Minority Reports brings audiences into a slightly futuristic world in which dangerously complex technology has become mundane.
5 Shutter Island A 2010 film starring Leonard DiCaprio in which the protagonist is not sure about whether things around him are what they seem aptly describes both Inception and Shutter Island. Directed by Martin Scorsese and based on the novel by Dennis Lehane, Shutter Island is not necessarily a traditional sci-fi movie. For once, it is not set in either a close or far future like Inception, as Shutter Island takes place in 1954.
3 Edge of Tomorrow Based on the All You Need is Kill manga by Hiroshi Sakurazaka, Edge of Tomorrow was directed by Doug Liman and stared Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt as Cage and Rita, respectively, two soldiers fighting in a war to save what is left of humanity from alien invaders. Edge of Tomorrow’s alien invasion by itself is enough to label the film as sci-fi, yet its most interesting premise lies in time travel.
