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?

How scifi? What time period? How mature is too mature? Without that, here is what I can recommend as good scifi, but you may need to sift through the content of each to determine if your daughter is mature enough for some. I have marked ones I think may need special attention by you with a ¤ icon. This is because it may be too scary, violent, or have nudity. Ones particularly egregious I marked with §.

A recommendation with ¤ beside it may contain brief scenes of nudity or some violence, or may make sexual references/jokes/innuendo, while a recommendation with § may contain scenes that are disturbingly violent or with scenes depicting graphic nudity.

// LIVE ACTION

  • Forbidden Planet (~~the original black and white is best but the color version is okay too~~)
  • Star Wars (Episodes 1-6, in release order of 4,5,6,1,2,3)
  • Alien and Aliens §
  • Predator (the first one) §
  • 2001 Space Odyssey
  • Star Trek The Next Generation (original series and Deep Space 9 were also pretty good)
  • Doctor Who (take your pick of any season except the most recent one was not very good)
  • The Last Starfighter
  • Robocop 1 and 2 (the original ones not the remake) §
  • Galaxy Quest ¤
  • Abyss ¤
  • Space Battleship Yamato (2010 release, its english dub is okay, I dont know how accurate it is to the anime but I thought it was entertaining)
  • Bionicle 1-3
  • Stargate ¤

// ANIMATED-ANIME

  • Neon Genesis Evangelion and the End of Evangelion movie (the 4 Rebuild movies are good as well!) §
  • Super Dimension Fortress Macross (Robotech is okay as well, the first part is effectivly unchanged from the original)
  • Titan A.E.
  • Treasure Planet
  • AKIRA §
  • Bubblegum Crisis ¤
  • Bubblegum Crash!
  • Full Metal Panic! (all seasons)
  • Space Dandy ¤
  • Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs
  • Cowboy Bebop ¤
  • Dirty Pair ¤
  • Trigun (the original release, not the recent reboot) ¤

Forbidden Planet (the original black and white is best but the color version is okay too)

Which one is the black and white version? The original Forbidden Planet (1956) was already in color, which is why maybe it's easy to misremember it in black and white it being so early. There has not been a remake yet, unless you count the Star Trek franchise itself 😄.

I just remember the first time I saw it, it was black and white. Perhaps our TV was on its last leg, who knows.
