The Spierig brothers have deftly fashioned an unpredictable thrill ride, and the joy is to fit together all its puzzle pieces.
A funny, affecting, twisted tale, which demands you pay close attention to every throwaway detail.

Talvez a melhor ficção relacionada a viagem no tempo já produzida!
Seu roteiro é perfeito. Aqui se aborda um paradoxo sobre viagem no tempo que quebra mentes. O filme gera uma discussão riquíssima quanto a isso, sendo muito recomendado assistir com amigos por conta disso. O Storytelling funciona magnificamente bem, te prendendo do inicio ao fim e causando uma intriga sobre como os pontos vão se unir. Quando se assiste pela segunda vez, percebe-se todos os elementos que o diretor põe para deixar a experiencia do plot tão marcante quanto é. Ele também direciona muito bem as informações, fazendo com que cheguemos a uma conclusão que ele quer que pensemos.
O fato do filme todo se basear em um personagem é insano. Os diálogos são um tanto quanto misteriosos, principalmente se é a primeira vez que assiste. Apesar da historia ser bem direta, também há espaço para interpretações. Todo o universo construindo em torno da agencia e da identidade audiovisual da viagem no tempo é bem interessante. O elenco está muito bem escalado, ninguém está fraco. Algumas cenas que exigem um apelo dramático são muito bem encaradas por Sarah Snook, que é meu destaque aqui.
Predestinado vai muito além de um super PlotTwist, sendo uma adaptação belíssima que tem uma construção invejável e que merecia mais atenção.

Predestination is science fiction for a thoughtful crowd. This isn't an action oriented film nor should it be mistaken for a blockbuster.
Does it all add up? Maybe, if you follow the letter of narrative law. It's certainly imaginative, with high-minded ideas, but Hawke and Snook are what keep it grounded in truth.
The movie may not have quite the mind-bending wallop of “Inception,” but Predestination is about something deeper than fantasy.
There’s a clarity to Snook’s emotional journey that’s absent from the rest of the film—a fact that’s partly deliberate, since Heinlein and the Spierigs mean to dive into the soup. But amid the murky genre experimentation, it’s a beacon of truth.
There are so many interesting ideas and concepts that could have been spun from this framework. Instead, it's the work of a bunch of filmmakers who seemingly wanted to offer up a WTF-worthy twist ending and tried to reverse engineer a movie from it.
A sci-fi mind-screw that is rarely short on surprises and innovative ways.Ethan Hawke, Noah Taylor and Sarah Snook all give terrific performances .predestenation is an and less loop with break through perfomance from sarah snook

Predestination
Spierig Brothers are creating havoc on screen as far as they are teasing us with the romance. And there is a whole lot of electric charge between Ethan Hawke and Sarah Snook. So innocently sinister is their love, that it describes the entire film within that one conversation. To be fair that one conversation takes most of the time, in fact the first half, but this has always been Hawke's forte. There is no one that can talk like him on screen. He looks at her with an attractive fire in his eyes and you sink deep in the film. The Spierig Brother, screenwriters and directors, are playing a safe game by doing so, since the rest of the film is a basic time jump from one place to another, the first half is soothingly calm and harrowing equally.
Sarah Snook that goes through a physical transformation is exceptionally good in her portrayal to a degree that she challenges Hawke blatantly when they go head to head in a bar. There aren't any big themes explored in here, just so that if you are expecting, which works surprisingly in its favor. As we have experienced before too, in order to do so, it can come off as a big misconstrued hotchpotch that dulls our palette.
It promises an engaging time travelling adventure and that's what this thrilling ride offers, strong in its believable mythology, it hits hard and fast. This loopity-loop screenplay obviously comes handy with a hindrance in the structure that is ironically its most valuable asset in order to reboot one's mindset, a refreshing take on the whole time travelling religioso. Predestination is destined to stay within its barred sharp vision that may fail to cut across the genre, but the room has enough energy to feed on textbook thrills.

m gemächlichen Zeitreise-Krimi Predestination springt ein Zeitagent (Ethan Hawke) zur Terror-Prophylaxe durch die Dekaden. Auf der Spur des Sprengstoff-Attentäters “Fizzle Bomber” trifft er 1975 in Barmann-Tarnung auf John (Sarah Snook), der ihm über sein Leben als Frau, Geheimagent sowie seine verschwundene Liebe erzählt. Doch was hat das alles mit dem Barkeeper zu tun? Predestination kommt nur langsam in die Gänge und schreckt mit einer wirren, etwas hanebüchenen Geschichte ab. Die fasziniert jedoch im Filmverlauf und mündet in einem Finale, das Fans von 12 Monkeys und unglaublichen Twists mit der Zunge schnalzen lässt. Obendrein untermalt eine stilvolle Film-noir-Optik das Geschehen passend – im Gegensatz zum übertrieben dramatischen Score.

This movie takes the worst aspect of the time travel concept, namely paradox's and actually tries to build its plot around that. Its basically going, see this, this is impossible, whoooah mindblown, see how deep we are. This movie is for idiots who think logic is some foreign esoteric concept. This movie literally invalidates itself.

If there was ever a movie that went out to a public park and removed its trousers then took a long deep **** on an idea (such as time travel) that people love and believe in, then is the movie is the one.
I've never felt disgusted after watching a film than i felt with this one, if i was there in the premier i would have puked!. Unbelieveable!
