#5 Sweet Girl

Although it is not about reuniting a girl with her father, the action-thriller is about protecting the only family the protagonist has left: his daughter. While he does so, he is also seeking vengeance on his wife’s murderers, demanding justice for her.

And the best thing is, it stars Jason Momoa as its main protagonist. So if you want some dose of our eccentric and adventurous Flip, go stream the movie right away, only on Netflix. Other projects in which you can find the 43-year-old American actor are Aquaman, and Game of Thrones.

#4 The Adam Project

If you are looking for a science-fiction adventure with a lot of humor that Slumberland will seemingly bring to your screen shortly, The Adam Project is the movie for you. The film includes Ryan Reynolds as a fighter pilot from the future who accidentally lands in 2022, teams up with his 12-year-old self, and saves the future.

It has action, pathos, and wonderful visual effects. Ryan Reynolds is terrific, and he will certainly keep you on the edge of your seats until Momoa is done preparing for his adventures to the dreamland. If you haven’t already watched the movie, you can always turn on your Netflix and enjoy the next 2 hours of uninterrupted adventures.

#3 The Sea Beast

Just like Slumberland, adventure is at the heart of this Netflix Original. If you are up to go on a voyage in the animated world, go stream The Sea Beast right away. An epic swashbuckling adventure, stunningly designed and dynamically animated, the monsters of the movie will surely melt your heart. The movie follows a young girl who stows away on the ship of an award-winning legendary monster hunter. His life and learnings are flipped over when the young girl befriends the scariest monster of all on the high seas.

Furthermore, the fast, fluid action of the battles and the beautiful seascape panoramas make the adventure feel as big and magnificent as the creatures at the story’s center. The vibrant and crisp animation creates a dazzling world for viewers to escape to as they wait for the upcoming Jason Momoa starring adventure-filled film, Slumberland, to arrive on Netflix. Notably, another animated movie to take you on a journey like no other is Adventures of Tin-Tin.
