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
    • Alien and Aliens
    • District 9
    • Solaris
    • The 5th Element
    • The Valerian
    • Blade Runner (both)
    • Back to the Future 1, 2 and 3
    • 2001: A Space Oddity
    • 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.

      Moon is a slow burner but stick with it and try to avoid spoilers. It’s SO GOOD.

      Good stuff on that list but District 9, Alien, Total Recall and other movies on that list are not for kids my dude.

        I’ve seen all three, but it has been a while. I certainly wouldn’t do alien. But I don’t recall any specific stuff to avoid in district 9. Was there gore and such? Foul language is no issue. And aliens, I remember the lady with 3 tits, but that is all that I remember being questionable. But it’s been like 20 years I think on that one.

        Edit: I just remembered common sense media. First wow, total recall was 1990. Feeling old. Anyway it says very graphic violence. So yeah we will pass on that for now. Thanks for the tip.

      Please do not recommend the John Carter movie, Disney butchered that so badly the ERB estate took the film rights back.
