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.

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.

4/5

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.

3/5

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

3/4

It’s a fascinating investigation into the major science-fiction theme of time travel and the sometimes mindbending possibilities therein.

This twisting, turning, time-travelling thriller about the ability to change the course of destiny will leave you pondering long after the credits have rolled.

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.

you probly will kinda like it if you like stuff about time travel . It gets good ...but then it's a little too confusing or frustrating.. the elements of the movie seem to be about being a hermaphrodite .seems like that's what the movie was actually about other than time travel !! .she was forced to get a sex change yet she was a woman before. .at the end of the movie was just a despair feeling .

Jesus fucking christ, who wrote this? Was he on mushrooms? Every single person in this film is ethan hawke! His mum, his dad, his fucking girlfriend, his own fucking kid, the bad guy even! FFS! It's ludicrous! I expected the end credits to list hawke as everyone who worked on it too! Key grip - Ethan hawke DP - Ethan hawke Craft services by Ethan hawke. This film had more twists and turns in it than a plate of spaghetti but is nowhere near as enjoyable. It's shite.

This was a very interesting watch - full of twists and turns. Little keeps my attention this long but this riveting tale held it until the very end. It’s a story within a story within a story. The acting and plot were excellent.

It tries to be clever but the whole premise makes no sense.

Well isn’t that an excellent mind bending film. It unravels at a pace you can follow and it is really enjoyable unravelling a puzzle you half suspect all along. The picture becomes less blurry as we progress and the story is ultimately very rewarding. It is very well directed. Watched on DVD.

ethan hawke é um ator magnifico, sempre consegue navegar em atuações distintas, o filme é uma viagem no tempo de conceitos diferentes e isso capta a atenção de quem assiste, viagem no tempo e linhas cronológicas que batem em um ciclo infinito é extremamente bom.
