Critics Consensus

Fun genre fare with uncommon intelligence, Predestination serves as a better-than-average sci-fi adventure -- and offers a starmaking turn from Sarah Snook.

Susannah B

A new spin on an old trope, Predesination is a mindbending look at time travel with an ending which will leave you with some very deep questions.

Great movie, not a massive Ethan Hawke fan so didn't go out of my way to watch this movie, but let me tell you this is well worth watching. I never give spoilers so I'll just say, if you don't work every plotline out watch it again until you do. Took me 2 goes at it, but very satisfying when everything has sunk in.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

The real time travel twist in this film is that it will take an hour and a half of your life that you'll never be able to get back. You'll only be left asking how the writing, acting and cinematography can all be so bad at the same time.

Wonderfully acted complex story that is ultimately satisfying if a little confusing. Very good movie.

The movie had all the makings of a good film, but simply lacked substance.

Karl Quinn

The Age (Australia)

This yarn - based on sci-fi legend Robert Heinlein's short story All You Zombies - is never less than intriguing, even if it does threaten to unravel at the slightest tug on a thread of loose logic.

Jonathan Romney

Observer (UK)

The film leaps into a dizzy abyss of temporal paradoxes, made all the dizzier by its transgender premise - a modern Tiresias myth plaited into a Möbius strip.

Rated: 4/5

Times (UK)

One of Ethan Hawke's strengths as an actor is his willingness to jump between arthouse fare and B-movie genre fodder.

Rated: 3/5

The MovieMaven

Challenges the ultimate impossibility with themes of existence, procreation, choices, destiny, and whether the end justifies the means...a 360-degree head scratcher. And the word "360-degree" will have a new meaning when you realize the full story.
