Outland

John Carpenter's The Thing provides another chilling portrayal of extraterrestrial menace amidst a frozen, remote outpost. Like Outland, the film delves into paranoia, survival, and the concept of who can be trusted when everyone is a potential enemy, bolstered by Rob Bottin's groundbreaking practical effects.

In Alien, the claustrophobic horror of space is palpable as the crew of the Nostromo encounters a lethal extraterrestrial being. Its emphasis on the isolation and danger within the vastness of space creates a thematically and atmospherically similar feel to Outland, while offering unforgettable suspense and a strong lead performance by Sigourney Weaver.

Blade Runner stands as a quintessential selection for fans of Outland, with its noir-infused, dystopian future where Harrison Ford plays a weary detective sifting through the moral maze of artificial life. The atmospheric blend of mystery, science fiction, and ethical conundrums will resonate with those who appreciate Outland's tense, character-driven narrative.

Event Horizon merges the sci-fi and horror genres by following a rescue crew investigating a lost spaceship that has reappeared with something new onboard. The eerie atmosphere, the melding of science fiction with horror, and the themes of isolation in space provide a narrative akin to the one in Outland.

Total Recall presents a mind-bending journey to Mars, wrapped in a mystery concerning identity and reality itself. Much like Outland, it's set in a future where space travel and work on other planets are common, plus it delivers a similarly gritty vision of the future of corporate and governmental influence over individual lives.

Moon, starring Sam Rockwell, is a thought-provoking exploration of solitariness and identity set on the lunar surface. Sharing Outland's themes of corporate exploitation and the psychological strain of space isolation, it's a cerebral take on the sci-fi genre that prioritizes character depth and atmosphere.

Silent Running is an emotionally charged tale of ecological preservation within space starring Bruce Dern. It's a poignant and introspective film that, much like Outland, creates an intimate portrait of life spent in the vast emptiness of the cosmos, with strong environmental and ethical undercurrents.
