my daughter seems to like scifi. We watched enders game, lost in space series (the new version), arrival, I am mother, and she liked them all. Can I get some more suggestions?

  • Moon
  • Event Horizon

  • District 9
  • Solaris
  • The 5th Element
  • The Valerian
  • Blade Runner (both)
  • Back to the Future 1, 2 and 3

  • Silent Running
  • Fire in the Sky
  • A Scanner Darkly
  • Total Recall
  • Journey to the Center of the Earth
  • Planet of the Apes (all of them)
  • John Carter (more the books than the movie IMO)

Some of these may be for when she's a bit older, but I had seen most of these before I was 13 and nothing traumatized me. The genre has quite a bit of horror in it, just FYI.

I'll anti-suggest Event Horizon for a young teen. It's got themes of torture, suicide, and mutilation and is a horror movie in a sci-fi setting.

Half the movies on that list are rated R anddecivesly not for young adults lol

I just left the moderation up to the parent to decide what is appropriate for their kid. If I stuck to just PG/PG13 movies, it'd be a small list.

How about Big Hero 6?
