Western Isekai (that I can think of)
This is every Western Isekai movie that I know of. This was just a fun list to throw together. One day randomly realized that Isekai was not something exclusive to manga/anime. It was a brief musing that came and went. I remembered it again when the subject of Isekai anime recently came up, so I decided to actually make a list here on IMDb, for posterity I suppose. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
{Obviously some of these can only loosely be considered Isekai, or on somewhat tenuous grounds, but an example is always there for a legitimate reason. (e.g. "Star Trek" isn't Isekai because long-distance intergalactic travel is ubiquitous in those stories, but "Stargate" basically is because of the eponymous stargates that the aliens and humans use to fast-travel between two worlds so very far apart, and where there is no other means traveling between their worlds. Likewise, the Quantum Realm in "Ant-Man and the Wasp" and in "Quantumania" is like a whole other world unto itself—with its own ecology, scientific properties, and flow of time—that's very difficult to get to, by any means; that is very different from, say, the Whoville in "Horton Hears a Who", which is just a microscopic civilization on a tiny speck on a small flower, and which there is no travel to or from.)}
