Predestination is technically very good. The actors are doing their job well, costumes and camera is also good. Nothing in that movie is outstanding but a good piece of high quality cinema.

All together I have really enjoyed watching this flick. I just can not share the opinion that this movie is somehow brilliant or that is has a surprising end.

For all who have not seen to much time travel movies (who has not since Dr. Who became very popular since 2005) this movie will be a wild ride full of unexpected happenings and a real brain teaser. For everyone else ... well soon after the start of the movie everything will happen mostly like you expect it.

To be honest. The movie includes some really fresh ideas about time travel which where not shown in any other movies or described in books that I ever reed. That's what makes the movie still interesting.

One thing is really greate for a modern movie production. The time travel machine is not explained in any way. Also the implications of time travel and paradoxes are not mentioned. This is very refreshing, because it regularly bores me to death when a movie waists the first quarter of it to explain how and why everything works.

The movie could have been easily half an hour longer if they would had used the full potential of the story.

All together it's a well crafted movie which is enjoy able for the most. But only really surprising for a young audience or for people which are not into science fiction and/or have not seen much time travel movies.
