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 think my favorite is probably Contact. It's an older movie, but it's really interesting. The lead character and the general story made me really interested in science as a kid.

If you want a newer movie, Interstellar seems somewhat similar to Contact and is an excellent movie.

Also, thanks for looking for content that your kid would enjoy. You seem like a good parent.

Contact is such a good movie! I watched it when I was a kid too and I watched it more than once.

There's also the added bonus for OP that the father/daughter storyline is the heart of both movies. This is also true for the other movie I was going to recommend, A Wrinkle in Time, but compared to the other movies OP listed it might seem too kid-oriented.
