    • Trivia
      When the barkeep sits down at the typewriter for the first time, there is a copy of "Stranger in a Strange Land" by Robert A. Heinlein next to the typewriter. Heinlein is the author of the short story "All You Zombies" on which the movie is based.
    • Goofs
      The movie is set in an alternative universe where space travel in the 1960s was more advanced than in our world, and where New York was subject to a wave of terror attacks in the 1970s. There are agents patrolling the timeline, and may have left something behind. Most apparent anachronisms and factual errors can be excused by this notion.

    'Predestination' deserves more recognition.

    I feel like sometimes great movies don't get enough recognition, films like Prisoners, Enemy, or Predestination.

    This film impacted me heavily, and it kept me thinking and thinking about it for a week after I saw it. Ethan Hawke gave a great performance, which keeps me wondering why he ever agreed to do "The Purge", but the real standout is Sarah Snook, who is breathtaking in her role.

    One of the best things about this film was that when I thought it was going in one direction, it took a hard right hand turn. Not many movies make me doubt myself like that. The direction was clean and solid, the cinematography was immaculate, and the special and visual effects were outstanding. Everything about the look of the film was perfect.

    My only complaints are that the movie's first act was a little slow. However, as the film progresses into the second and third act, the long first act is absolutely necessary. If it was a little shorter, it would've worked so well.

    Confusing? Yes. Enjoyable? Big time.

    If you can see Predestination, definitely do so. 8/10
