Predestination: A Journey Through Time

A spy time travel sci-fi film like no other.

The movie is a bit slow but keeps your attention throughout.

By the end of the film it takes time to comprehend what it was all about.

Not sure why the cumbersome violin case is used.

Well acted by the two main characters.

Based on the short by Robert Heinlein. I wasn't expecting much since two of his previous works were translated to the big screen and they were butchered. The basic story of "Predestination" closely followed "All You Zombies". They did fluff it out a little to fill the time allotted but no harm was done. One thing I have to laugh about: Heinlein called this story "hack" work, not worthy of his name. I and most others find it intriguing.

I thought I was a creative writer, but this could be one of the most original screenplays I've come across. Nice job.

The film is a bit confusing at first but eventually everything is explained as all the parts are brought together near the end. The story is the ultimate paradox of time travel and in this case is woven around the bartender's "joke". A clever film, slow in places but very watchable.
