Movies like eXistenZ

The Matrix is a seminal work in the science fiction genre that deals with the concept of simulated reality. Like eXistenZ, it questions the nature of reality and features characters who become conscious of the artificial world in which they live.

This mind-bending thriller by Christopher Nolan blurs the line between dream and reality, much like eXistenZ plays with the boundaries of virtual and actual worlds. Fans of eXistenZ's cerebral puzzles and intricate plot will find Inception's dream-heist narrative equally engaging.

Although not directly about virtual reality, Memento's non-linear storytelling and exploration of memory and perception will resonate with fans of eXistenZ who appreciate movies that challenge the viewer's understanding of what is real.

Dark City precedes eXistenZ by a year and shares its fascination with altered realities. With its dark, atmospheric visuals and a story revolving around manipulated memories and identities, it will appeal to fans of eXistenZ's neo-noir elements and reality-warping narrative.

Total Recall, which explores themes of memory and identity through a science-fiction lens, takes its protagonist on a journey that makes him question his reality. Similar to eXistenZ, it combines action with a conceptually driven story about the authenticity of experiences.

Set in a dystopian future, Strange Days involves a device that records experiences directly from the wearer's cerebral cortex, which are then experienced by another person. This film's immersive technology echoes the themes of virtual reality seen in eXistenZ.

Directed by David Cronenberg, the same visionary behind eXistenZ, Videodrome explores themes of technology, body horror, and reality distortion where the line between the human body and technology begins to blur.

The Thirteenth Floor is a noir-inspired take on virtual reality that delves into the possibility of artificial worlds within worlds. Much like eXistenZ, it invites viewers to consider the implications of indistinguishable simulations and their impact on human consciousness.
