I haven't seen a sci-fi movie like this in a long time. This is a film that creates a story that uses the science to support fiction that is also incredible. This is an excellent film just as good as the Spierig's last film Daybreakers. It's weird,and to some it may be confusing,but the story is very human it's own way. Plus weird,and confusing is what you get in time travel movies. The reason it really works is because of the character that the film revolves around is great. Now this character I can't discuss in a big way because this film is one I don't want to spoil. You don't even want to know about some of this stuff. Sarah Snook is fantastic in the film though allowing you to connect to the main character. This is especially important because much of the film is told by a narrator throughout most of it's run. I am surprised by the strictly "tell don't show" approach this film takes this approach, but it's not particularly a bad thing. This storytelling strategy definitely builds the universe. Also the story is good enough to survive the laziness of the way it's told,and when the film let's loose and allows the pieces to fall into place Predestination becomes insanely intense. There are some big reveals near the end of this film that slowly allow us to better understand the main character of the film. I already mentioned the greatness of Sarah Snook,and the always reliable Ethan Hawke is in full display here. This is a very nicely made film that I would recommend to anyone with any interest toward it. I give Predestination a 9 out of 10.
