Loved the vibe? Here are ten films that hit similar notes—with match scores, reasons to watch, and where to stream in the US.
People revisit Lucy for the same reason it broke through in 2014: clear stakes, memorable faces, and a science fiction rhythm that doesn't stall in the middle. Luc Besson keeps the ensemble pointed in one direction. The action and science fiction blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
