10 Best Multiverse Movies Ever

5. Source Code

Everything Everywhere All At Once

Duncan Jones' Source Code is one of the most original sci-fi movies of the 2010s, a thrilling secret multiverse movie in which U.S. Army Captain Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) is tasked with repeatedly entering a digital simulation of a train bombing in order to discover the bomber's identity.

Now, for the bulk of Source Code's runtime we don't actually know we're watching a multiverse film as - spoiler! - it's revealed later that the "simulations" are in fact parallel universes created by the experimental titular machine.

Source Code is at once a fast-paced time loop movie, a rip-roaring Hitchcockian suspense picture, and a provocative existential sci-fi flick, all of them superbly executed.

While the universes we see throughout the film certainly aren't particularly adventurous as multiverse movies go, much of the fun lies in the tiny variations between Stevens' different "runs" through the bombing scenario.
