Our take on Predestination

Michael Spierig's 2014 science-fiction thriller follows a Temporal Agent dispatched on an intricate series of time-travel missions meant to stop future killers before they act. On a final assignment, he must catch the one criminal who has always eluded him and prevent a devastating attack that would cost thousands of lives. Built around looping chronology and a puzzle-box structure, the film prizes revelation and paradox over conventional action. It suits viewers who enjoy cerebral, tightly plotted time-travel stories and don't mind a deliberate pace that rewards close attention. Expect a coiled, twisty narrative and a chilly mood rather than large-scale spectacle or easy answers.
