Movies that feel likeOkja (2017)

A young girl named Mija risks everything to prevent a powerful, multi-national company from kidnapping her best friend - a massive animal named Okja.

If you loved Okja, the closest films we have are The Rocketeer (1991), The Great Flood (2025) and Thunderbolts* (2025). All three share Okja'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 Until the End of the World (1991).
