Movies that feel likeAssassin's Creed (2016)

Through a technology that unlocks the genetic memories of his ancestor in 15th century Spain, Callum Lynch discovers he is a descendant of an ancient line of Assassins and amasses lethal skills to take on the oppressive Templar Order.

If you loved Assassin's Creed, the closest films we have are The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013), Ra.One (2011) and Blue Beetle (2023). All three share Assassin's Creed'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 Bumblebee (2018).

Both are built on the same subject: conspiracy

Both lean on ideas more than on adventure

Primatologist Davis Okoye shares an unshakable bond with George, the extraordinarily intelligent, silverback gorilla who has been in his care since birth. But a rogue genetic experiment gone awry mutates this gentle ape into a raging creature of enormous size. To make matters worse, it’s soon discovered there are other similarly altered animals. As these newly created alpha predators tear across North America, destroying everything in their path, Okoye teams with a discredited genetic engineer to secure an antidote, fighting his way through an ever-changing battlefield, not only to halt a global catastrophe but to save the fearsome creature that was once his friend.
