Collider has published a list recommending 15 sci-fi films for fans of Christopher Nolan's Interstellar, aimed at those seeking similarly cerebral, visually spectacular space-set stories about survival, family and scientific ambition. The piece was updated on 3 August 2026, marking the tenth anniversary of Interstellar, and highlights the recent film Project Hail Mary as a modern successor with a comparable sense of scale and heart.

The countdown (numbered from 15 down to 1) begins with recommendations including:
– Project Hail Mary (2026) — a warmer, more optimistic space epic starring Ryan Gosling as an astronaut who befriends an alien on a similar rescue mission
– Primer (2004) — a famously low-budget ($7,000), dense time-travel thriller from writer-director Shane Carruth exploring the ethics of a newly invented device
– Armageddon (1998) — Michael Bay's blockbuster disaster film about NASA racing to stop an asteroid from hitting Earth
