Some films are so similar to each other that it is difficult to believe that the similarity is just a coincidence. Have you noticed in movies with very close places or themes?

In many of these cases, these productions have been launched simultaneously or in the same year, which makes the idea of coincidence even more strange. In others, the similarity is so evident that there is no way to stop suspecting.

Having said that, then we listed 9 very similar films.

“Mission: Mars” (2000) and “Red Planet” (2000)

Both published in 2000, you can see from the titles what they have in common “Mission: Mars” and “Red Planet”. The two share the same main theme: missions with crew for Mars – and by coincidence at the end they were bankruptcies at the box office.

“Life of Insect” (1998) and “Formiguinhaz” (1998)
