The Spierig brothers have deftly fashioned an unpredictable thrill ride, and the joy is to fit together all its puzzle pieces. Read full review

If time-travel is your thing, you learn to shrug off inconsistencies. You debate chicken-egg questions over drinks or dope and mull over all the permutations. You graph it. You wish like hell you had a time machine. You savor every discombobulating, ludicrous, thrilling second of Predestination. Read full review

Considering these characters are bounced round like pinballs, it’s amazing Hawke and the hitherto unknown Snook gain the emotional traction they do: even those struggling to keep up can’t fail to notice how these two are burnt, figuratively and literally, by their experiences. Read full review

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. Read full review

This intriguing and well-acted gender-bending story occasionally feels like "The Crying Game" meets "Looper." Read full review

The film effectively underlines the one undertaking that time-travel fantasies can never truly allow: escape from ourselves. Read full review

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. Read full review

Predestination is an excellent, well written, masterfully acted and a well paced flick. Ethan Hawke gives an awesome performance. Its a major mind bending trip that is very underrated. A must watch.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie encapsulates narcissism perfectly. In the form of a mystery sci-fi thriller drama, it brilliantly masks its true intentions. Great suspense, not-so-easy-to-predict plot twists, good (if not great) acting, and well filmed action sequences make this movie both fun to watch and intellectually stimulating. That is a rare combination indeed. I recommend it 100% {Question for others: Is the main guy actually shim too?}… Expand

Predestination is a good title because this movie is quite the trip. It's retrospective for the first half and then changes gears into a great sci-fi flick. Ethan Hawke is good and Sarah Snook is brilliant. This is the Spierig brothers most realized film.

OK, it's about time-travel. It does time-travel in a way like I've never seen before. Can't really say anything about the how or the what without giving things away. Overall, the film's pretty focused on character and not so much on action, so if seeing the weird and how people deal isOK, it's about time-travel.

Overall, the film's pretty focused on character and not so much on action, so if seeing the weird and how people deal is your thing then this is a film you should catch.

The film also asks if the ends justify the means. But I guess that's for each one of us to work out for ourselves.… Expand

packs a powerful emotional punch thanks to its sensitive treatment of emotive themes and an incredible, multi-layered performance from Sarah Snook.

Daha önce başka bir yerde konusunu gördüğüm fakat izlerken yine "ne oluyor" dediğim bir film. Kafanızı karıştırıyor ve büyük bir paradoks'un içine sokuyor sizi. Başta ki bar sahnesinden sıkılabilirsiniz fakat sonrası gerçekten akıcı bir şekilde geçiyor ve hayret içerisinde izliyorsunuz.Daha önce başka bir yerde konusunu gördüğüm fakat izlerken yine "ne oluyor" dediğim bir film.

The first scene before the credits showed some action in which something resembling a time machine was present. What followed for the next half of the film was a story told to Hawkes at his job as a bartender, going into the life story of one gender confused woman to apparently set up the story. Unfortunately, I did not see that time travel story due to walking out. With so much time devoted to the set up, this movie (or what I saw of it) more closely resembled one of those night time soaps that my ex wife used to enjoy. Thumbs down for the first half, can't comment on the second.… Expand
