Predestination is a well acted mystery/sci-fi film, starring Ethan Hawke, Sarah Snook and written/directed by film making brothers Michael and Peter Spierig;

Due to the time travelling element, this is the kind of movie with plenty going on, including a number of twists and turns that come quick and fast, so you’ll certainly need to be ready and alert.

As I watched, I found myself comparing Predestination to it’s more thrilling cousin, Inception (2010). Not that both films deal with the same subject matter exactly, but among other things, it didn’t help that one of the characters in the movie looked like a younger version of one of the Actors in Inception. I’ll let you figure out which one.

Watch it anyway if science fiction, and particularly time travel are generally your thing. As for me, I’m only into sci-fi sometimes.

Happy Film Loving,

PREDESTINATION (2014): The Next Ethan Hawke 2014 Hit?

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Predestination (2014).

Ethan Hawke has been very busy; a fact that makes me, an eternal fan of great acting talent, a very happy so and so.

With more than 5 releases out this year, including the already very well -received Boyhood, who can blame me?

A sci-fi thriller from sibling directors, Michael and Peter Spierig; the premise of Predestination involves time travel for the purpose of preventing crimes from taking place.

Quite the promising trailer we have here, isn’t it. And, perhaps unsurprisingly, Tom Cruise’s rather good film Minority Report (2002) came to mind as this preview played. Fingers crossed it’s great.

Happy Film Loving,
