I mentioned time travel movies in a recent post and I can’t leave the subject without mentioning the move Predestination which I watched recently.

The movie stars Ethan Hawke as a time travelling “Temporal Agent”. Apparently the story is based on Robert A. Heinlein’s story “All You Zombies”.

The movie scores 7.4 on IMDB and some of the reviews are very enthusiastic.

I didn’t enjoy the movie. I don’t know what happened in Heinlein’s story, but for me this is the movie someone made who wanted to construct a set of circumstances involving time travel and sex change so that somebody could give birth to himself/herself. An interesting idea, but not a good basis for a full movie IMHO. And some of the things which needed to take place to make this possible were just too ridiculous, I’m afraid.
