Utterly different, and pretty darn good too - Predestination review by MD

Spoiler Alert
31/08/2016

Just occasionally, a film comes along that really does seem like nothing you've seen before. This is just such a film.

It's about time travel, it's about boy meets girl, it's about a hitman and a terrorist, all of which are not exactly new in the movies, but the story itself, and the way it unfolds, are completely original and not at all what you might expect.

I suspect some folks may find it too complicated or too pretentious to really enjoy it, but I thought it was a really neat idea with excellent performances (in particular by Sarah Snook), a no-nonsense, provocative script and sharp direction. When you get to the end, you just have to watch it again to see all the clues throughout, and to appreciate that it truly is a very clever and engaging little movie.

Definitely recommended if you have an open mind and want something way out of the usual mainstream fare.

Good, slow-paced Time Travel Tale - Predestination review by CP Customer

Spoiler Alert
04/07/2018

Spoiler-free review...

The movie is well-acted, well filmed and has a style of its own which doesn't feel borrowed from anything else.

Like me, you might deduce the plot and supposed twists/surprises very early on (perhaps I've just seen a lot of time travel movies and know what I'm looking for) - but the overall journey is still a good one.

There are no scenes where the movie becomes dull, but also none really of particular tension or threat. Instead, you have a solid story, well told, and it isn't overly long.

The only disappointment? The climax is delivered in the manner of "wow, you didn't expect THAT did you?"... but actually, I did, and I'd known it was coming for at least an hour. It would have been nice to be hit with a real surprise.

what came first the chicken or the egg? - Predestination review by TJ

Spoiler Alert
23/05/2015

This is a very cleverly written piece of scifi… its a difficult film yo review as it would be so easy to spoil the gradual reveal… suffice to say the phrase 'Want came first the chicken or the egg ' as utterred by the barman proves to be prophetic.

Just be warned its a slow burner… but well worth the wait. If
