Review of Predestination (2013) by Art S — 16 Apr 2015
From a short story by Robert A. Heinlein about time travel comes this too-clever-for-its-own-good Australian film starring Ethan Hawke and Sarah Snook. The premise involves the hoary old chestnut of returning to the past in order to change the future, for example, in order to prevent a great tragedy.
Along for the ride comes the idea that you could, of course, meet yourself and change your own future. The Sperig brothers have created a slick good-looking film, set in the US to appeal to that market (with Hawke as the big name), but the story folds in upon itself just a bit too much to remain logical and, even so, it is too easy to see the big twist coming.
That said, it doesn't really overstay its welcome at only 97 minutes, so it might be worth your "time".
