Predestination 2014


Predestination     This movie is based on a 1959 short story titled All You Zombies by Robert A. Heinlein.  The Barkeep is working as a Temporal Agent who goes back and forth in time with certain limits and restrictions.  His career in law enforcement has come to his final assignment.  He must track down the one criminal that has managed to escape him throughout time.  Killing this criminal will stop a devastating attack causing the loss of thousands of lives.
     There are a lot of twists and turns in this movie.  Some you see coming and others you are still wondering about at the end.  It takes some thinking and maybe a second viewing to add everything up.  Still, you are not sure if you have it all right but maybe that is the point?  3 ½* (I liked this movie)

97 min, Sci-Fi directed by Michael and Peter Spierig with Ehtan Hawke, Sarah Snook, Noah Taylor, Christopher Kirby, Chrisopher Sommers, Kuni Hasimoto, Sara El-Yafi.

Note:  Imd 7.4 out of 10, 84% critic 74% audience on Rotten Tomatoes, Roger Ebert 3 ½*.
Special Note:  This movie was filmed in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
