Edit: guess I didn't like the which came first, the chicken or egg story.

An intriguing film based on a short story, it is rare to find a time travel film that brings something different to the genre. It is therefore difficult to review without giving some of the plot details away and this is a film best seen knowing as little as possible about it. The first half of the film has little to do with time travel on the surface as someone recounts their life story to a barkeep. Essentially an extended flashback, this on its own is beautifully played by Snook and it is almost a shame the film's introductory scenes clue the audience in to potential surprises as the flashback works by itself as an emotional and fascinating character study. But the revelations when they come are still worthwhile for their resonance to the overall story, though anyone paying attention may well work out certain beats to the plot. In addition, while there are certainly paradoxes galore, the film embraces them and makes them central to the story it is trying to tell. Well worth a look.

Absolutamente todo está puesto para funcionar como película, y lo hace. Es un poco una buena historia pero sobre todo es una buena idea y está muy bien llevada a cabo. Sin importar que sea una paradoja (que en la mayoría de los casos eso me arruina toda la experiencia), aquí por lo menos lo admitieron, trataron de justificarlo y siguieron con el show. No hay que ser muy objetivo con este tipo de películas. Entretiene y así sea convenientemente te pone pensar, así que genial.

1h of transgender issues in the 70s and yes... was bored. May be good at the end, I don't know.

Incredibly creative and well-thought out film, with a complex plot, that's hard to follow at times, great performances and pristine direction.

I’ve read about this movie a lot and heard it recommended countless times on the internet. So maybe I had too high expectations going in. Not a bad movie at all, but nothing as exciting as I was hoping.

The problem lies in the plot. While it starts from a very interesting prospective, it quickly gets itself tangled in a series of twists that are complicated just to be complicated. It seems like they tried to put a plot twist after the other, but the only effect, at least for me, was to make the whole plot predictable.

That aside, the director did a very good job. I appreciated the way the movie looked and felt. Considering there’s a lot of talking, the whole thing felt quite dynamic and upbeat.

Great job by the cast as well, especially Sarah Snook, who delivered the most solid performance of the movie.

In conclusion, I hoped for more. I would still recommend this one to fans of the time travel genre. The cast is great and does a fine job. That plus a short runtime makes Predestination a quite entertaining movie night choice.

6.5/10

A really intelligent time travel movie with a crazy script. The movies goes to weird extends where you get to make love to yourself, give birth to yourself and even kill yourself. My mind got fucked at the end of the movie, but there were moments you could expect whats happening. Overall a wonderful piece of work and an excellent mind bending movie! 8/10

really liked it, but I wish it would have been less predictable, didnt achive the fight club level in that regard. Still a good recommendation.

This has to be the most paradox Timetravel movie I've ever seen.
It's not that shocking because it is, after all, a movie about timetraveling...

But the whole Idea behind it is totally perverted! I mean, come on:
The main character is a hermaphrodite. He starts as a woman and later on in life he becomes a man.
He goes back in time, fucks his female self and impregnates himself with himself.
Yes, you read that right: He is the baby he has with himself.

MIND = BLOWN

What the hell was the director smoking?

I did enjoy the film, but wasn't the mind fuck I expected. I found the time travel easy to follow. It was quite predictable and was pretty obvious to me where the plot was going pretty early on. But was nice to see my prediction be true (rarely the case when i guess what happens).

That being said, I think this is one of the better uses of time travel in a movie so I was pretty happy about that.

He's him, I mean her, i mean the baby. This really makes time travel a lot more depressing.

AMAZING, wholly original sci-fi movie. Made on a low budget but doesn't feel like it at all.

"What if I could put him in front of you? The man that ruined your life. If I could guarantee that you'd get away with it, would you kill him?"
