Everything Everywhere All At Once, a film set in 2022 about a lady named Evelyn who finds her talents just in time to fight multiverse enemies, released recently and promises to be a fascinating experience. The sci-fi adventure features a stellar cast as well as an intriguing premise. With that said, a week is still a long time to wait for this fantastic adventure, so in the meantime, it’s necessary to check out some other films with a similar idea, tone, or subject matter to Everything Everywhere All At Once.
After Yang (2021)
Another contemporary sci-fi film about a family striving to reconcile is After Yang. When the grandfather attempts to fix his daughter’s robotic companion, he finds he has been missing out on life. This video depicts an unusual, future family and contains both lovely and humorous moments.
What connects this film to Everything Everywhere All At Once is its focus on science fiction and how it affects people’s lives, whether it’s Evelyn recovering her confidence or Jake reuniting with his family.
Cloud Atlas (2012)
Cloud Atlas is a story about spirits that meet in several lifetimes and are always drawn to each other, but who end up in different life circumstances that separate them in devastating ways. It’s about spirits uniting through time and space, and it doesn’t have a comic undertone.
While it isn’t about fighting multiverse monsters, it is similar to Evelyn in that the primary protagonists, at least their spirits, wander from lifetime to lifetime and location to place in search of each other, but in different bodies.
Crazy Rich Asians (2018)
Crazy Rich Asians is a fantastic film about a woman who unwittingly marries into a very wealthy family who are dismissive of her immigrant status and lack of income until she proves herself to be a wonderful woman. While the movie differed from the book in many ways, it is still a fantastic film.
Like Everything Everywhere All At Once, this film is full of eccentric characters and some excellent funny moments, but what makes it fantastic is its heartwarming message about not judging a book by its cover. Not to add Michelle Yeoh, who plays Evelyn, has a significant role in this film.
Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness (2022)
Doctor Strange is a highly anticipated film. Strange finds a portal to the multiverse in The Multiverse Of Madness, from which a menace emerges that may be too enormous for him to handle alone. He tries to put things right with the help of the Scarlet Witch and a few other allies.
While this film doesn’t come out until next month, it’s still relevant because, like Everything Everywhere All At Once, it’s about the multiverse and how to keep it from collapsing when timelines and universes lose their equilibrium.
Doctor Strange (2016)
Doctor Strange follows a gifted surgeon with disfigured hands as he learns to wield great power as a sorcerer and meddles with the chronology and multiverse in a variety of ways in the first film. This newfound knowledge aids in the physical healing of his hands while he works on his internal humility and self-importance.
Both Strange and Evelyn are just recently discovering the multiverse in these films, and they both struggle to stop their foes while understanding how their talents function in the multiverse.
Every Day (2018)
Every Day is a young romance comedy about Rhiannon, a girl who falls in love with A, a man who controls the bodies of different people every day. The movie follows them as they attempt to reconnect and find each other despite the fact that they are separated every night.
While Everything Everywhere At Once isn’t a rom-com or a teen film, it does contain the same concept of body swapping and teleporting that this film does. Despite the fact that their plots are so different, their science fiction abilities are remarkably comparable.
Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse (2018)
Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse is widely regarded as one of the best animated superhero flicks ever made. It follows Miles, a young boy who is bitten by a radioactive spider and obtains Spider-Man-like abilities, only to die in front of his eyes while attempting to stop Kingpin from opening a multiverse portal.
There’s a lot going on in this movie, but what makes it feel the most like Everything Everywhere All At Once is that it’s focused on the multiverse and depicts many versions of Spider-Man from other planets, much like Evelyn can see and be different versions of herself.
Spirited Away (2001)
Spirited Away is a fantastic Miyazaki picture about Chihiro, a young girl who becomes trapped in a spirit world and must navigate her way out without causing too much chaos. It’s chock-full of fantastic optical illusions and vivid animation.
Overall, this video is the most similar to Everything Everywhere All At Once in that it is about being cut off from the normal world, or at least the illusion of it, and it is equally as fascinating and adventurous. While animated, this film is also quite accurate and realistic in its portrayal of human nature.
The Matrix (1999)
The Matrix, which is widely regarded as one of the best science fiction films of all time, stars Keanu Reeves as Neo. This is the first of four films in a series that explores what humans perceive as truth and what true free will is.
The fact that Evelyn and Neo both gain the capacity to download any fighting, language, or knowledge at will is what makes it feel the most like Everything Everywhere All At Once. In this way, they share science fiction characteristics that make them extremely action-packed.
Turning Red (2022)
Turning Red is the most recent Pixar picture, and it’s about a girl who discovers that her family has a gene that allows every woman to shapeshift into a gigantic red panda when she reaches puberty. This film is about putting yourself in your parents’ place and prioritizing family over anything else.
Though it may appear to be unrelated to Everything Everywhere All At Once, it does share a common theme of family and experiencing things through the eyes of others. Despite the fact that everyone’s experiences are unique, both films emphasize the significance of knowing the people around us.
