#Predestination is a mess of a film with glaring plot holes and paradoxes (whether deliberate or not, its an altogether different matter), but its an intriguing mess that proves to be quite an interesting cinematic experience for the cineastes on the lookout for a breath of fresh air. The endless inconsistencies in the plot dont pose any major impediments unless one is in the habit of nitpicking. Predestination has already been compared to other mind-bending films like The Prestige and Inception and while the comparisons may come across as a bit farfetched theres no denying that its a film of great ambition that tugs at the heart with its themes of love, solitude, compassion, and duty. The movie beautifully toys with the concept of space time continuum that elevates it to the realms of a typical Kafkaesque conundrum. Ethan Hawke is absolutely brilliant to watch (in a remarkable turn that harks back to Hawkes portrayal in Gattaca) and is well complemented by Sarah Snook who, in some scenes, even succeed in stealing the limelight from the shape-shifting Hawke. Overall, Predestination, proves to be a thrilling cinematic experience. Highly recommended!!! 7.5/10. imdb/title/tt2397535/reviews-90
