The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Predestination is one of those science fiction films that perfectly exemplifies everything that confuses and fascinates me about time travel. It's both brilliantly cerebral and mind bogglingly complex. But the movie tightly tells the complex story in 90 minutes, without sacrificing any nuance. It's one of the few movies that I can say I instantly knew I was going to buy the blu-ray right after the credits rolled. Among the many impressive aspects to the story, is the story-telling structure. It feels equally part Nolan and Kubrickian, with a bit of a David Lynch/David Fincher vibe mixed in. However most importantly, Predestination feels like an original film bolstered by performances from the always great Ethan Hawke, as well as the career making turn from Sarah Snook. The depths both of them take their roles, but particularly Snook, is fascinating. And surprisingly neither of them were considered for Oscar noms in 2015. In short, Predestination is one of the best sci-fi's of the last decade.10/10

'Predestination (2014)' is a fantastic time-travel film that stands up to scrutiny even on multiple watches. It is an unpredictable story that's riveting from start to finish. The narrative starts off slowly, seemingly insignificant for much of the run-time, but then a sudden change in pace and some major plot reveals shift all that came before and make each frame wholly necessary. It really is a surprisingly, and satisfyingly, complex yet cohesive story. The circles it makes make perfect sense. The flick has a much lower budget than most features, yet stands tall due to its fantastic script which proves it really is all in the writing. This should be seen by every fan of science-fiction or time-travel. 8/10

I will try not to spoil it but the first half of the film was pretty long, boring, and drawn out. I almost turned it off because I took it as another LGBT propaganda film, but after watching it, it's not. The second half of the film is where the mind bending plot magic starts to happen. I am a fairly intelligent person and I found myself guessing, second guessing, and guessing wrong every time. There's no way these bad reviewers could possibly know the plot before it unfolds and I believe just the very premise of the plot makes them uncomfortable. It is, umm, weird, to say the least.I deducted two stars because the first half of the film is so boring and empathy begging, and when I re-watch the film, I will more than likely find myself skipping the first half, which will leave me with a 45 minute movie. The last 45 minutes however, are worth all eight stars. Definitely recommend watching, and definitely recommend watching without reading the spoilers. Also, disregard the bad reviews. I've read them and they really don't make any valid points against it other than that it makes them uncomfortable or they think it's weird or predictable. Weird, yes, big deal so what, but predictable? Not the least
