Prédestination

This movie was a total mind bleep. Allow me to take you through my emotional time line of the movie.

Phase 1--Excited. Electric beginning. Action right away with some good special effects. Immediately drawn in.

Phase 2--A tad bored. Story time. Nice story but not what I came for. I came for a good time travel sci-fi not a tragic life story, however unique.

Phase 3--Layers begin to be peeled back. Start to see what's really going on. Mind starts to melt.

Phase 4--The end. The brain has exploded trying to comprehend it all.

It was a crazy series of events, an insane temporal loop, it was fantastic.

it's been a while since i've been this satisfied with a movie, it's compelling, thought provoking and extremely clever film that keeps you guessing to the last frame.

excellent storytelling thanks for the great work from the directors/writers despite the low budget they pulled out a great movie with good production values, sets, costumes and special effects.

powerhouse performances from the two leads Ethan Hawke as usual is a very serious actor though he haven't been in any good movies in the past few years but you can see that he's making a comeback with this one as well as this years magnificent BOYHOOD but his performance in PREDESTINATION is a very strong one because he had to handle such a very complicated character, same thing goes for Sarah Snook.

the less i say about the plot the better, this is the kind of movies where you have focus throughout the whole runtime of it trying to figure out where is it going and any detail that you miss might ruin the whole experience for you but hey don't worry there's an explanation for everything here.

this movie is one of this years' personal favorites as well as the indie of the year so far (still have to see BIRDMAN).

I have watched this movie twice the story appears complex so when I first watched I was paying attention but was also trying to work out the connections of the characters and in doing so missing small points. The story is quite unique and at first hard to understand but as you do it highlights the imagination of the writers and the complexity of how they wrote the story I loved it as I love movies that make you think and this one never stops making you think! I don't want to explain my meaning as I don't wish to spoil the story or your entertainment in figuring it out. The acting is great and I am sure you will enjoy the movie maybe your smarter than me and everything falls into place on first viewing either way it is entertaining.

Sadly I had to travel to an old and tiny cinema to see this movie as it didn't play in the major cinemas on the Gold Coast...after watching this movie i have absolutely no clue why.

I truly enjoyed every minute of this film, all of the actors did a great job, especially Ethan Hawk. I did see some of the plot lines coming and still got a bit of a surprise in how they delivered those plot lines...if you get a chance and like a sci-fi with brains then go and watch this!!!

I would definitely not compare it to looper (just to add to the end) yes looper and predestination are about time travel, but thats were it ends... :)

"The Snake that Eats Its own Tail " It's all paradoxical. Predestination is a top-notch Australian science-fiction thriller film based on book All You Zombies has stimulating dialogues, excellent acting and marvelous cinematography.

The story is brilliant and the acting by Ethan Hawke, Sarah Snook, and Noah Taylor is splendid.

The story is recanted by Jane/John to "The Bartender" just like the written book story, and the events of John's story match every detail of the original short story. A Temporal Agent is trying to hunt down the Fizzle Bomber in the past before he devastates NYC in 1975. He fails and the bomb explodes in his face. After face reconstruction, he (Ethan Hawke) travels back to 1970 as a bartender. John (Sarah Snook) walks in claiming to write under the pen name The Unmarried Mother. Back in 1945 Cleveland, baby John was left at an orphanage as a girl they named Jane. She was different and smarter than the other girls. Mr. Robertson (Noah Taylor) recruits her into a mysterious government space program. It's actually a front for the time traveling agency.

Movie is a loopy tale with awestruck ending summing up all twist. Predestination is among one of the best suspense thriller sci-fi. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a classic suspense thriller sci-fi to watch this masterpiece.
