Rated MA
Score 6/6
The life of a time-traveling Temporal Agent. On his final assignment, he must pursue the one criminal that has eluded him throughout time.
Predestination marks the second time that Ethan Hawke has worked with The Spierig Brothers Michael and Peter, the first time that Hawke worked with them was on Daybreakers which was released in 2009, this is the second movie that I have watched that was directed by The Spierg brothers and I am going to have to remember to watch more of their movies. Predestination was adapted from the 1958 short story All you Zombies written by Robert A. Heinlein, and all though going into the cinema I had no clue that this movie was adapted from a Heinlein short story, I made a point of it to read the short story the following day.
Time paradoxes are probably in my mind one of the best plot devices used in science fiction and the paradox established in this movie is probably one of the best that I can remember putting the paradoxes set up twelve monkeys and the Red Dwarf Ouroboros to shame.
Sarah Snook gave a brilliant performance showed amazing versatility as an actress playing an intersex character who meets herself/himself at different stages in her/his life, for the record seeing Snook made up to look like a young man because her voice as a man seemed so convincing.
