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?

I'd add these two:

Space Sweepers

The Wandering Earth

As well as Netflix's The Orbital Children animated series. This was excellent and would be great for a younger teen, I was surprised how good this one was.

(Edit: Someone remade The Giver recently too, that's a classic YA sci-fi staple and worth a watch.)

If she likes animation the original Ghost in the Shell movie is great, so are Psycho Pass seasons 1 & 2.

Altered Carbon season 1 on Netflix is really good too, but probably not appropriate for a younger teen, I'd save that for the 16-17 age bracket. For older teens Akira is a great watch too, there's some graphic violence in parts and one scene depicting suggested sexual violence.
