After being blown away by Nightcrawler, I figured that it
would be hard to find something that I would enjoy even more in the next few
weeks. Fortunately, I was wrong about that and found another movie that may be
even better: 2014s Predestination.
Plot/ On his final assignment, a time traveling, Temporal
Agent must come to terms with life and pursue the one criminal that has eluded
him throughout time.
Sometimes, movies fly under the RADAR and are truly
underappreciated. That definitely is the case with Predestination, as it was
one of the best Sci-Fi films to come out in some time. This movie was not only
smart; it carried a tremendous grittiness that enhanced the overall dark yet
moving storyline. The characters were developed, the performances solid
(especially Sarah Snook), the cinematography outstanding, and most of the
entire story was detailed and thought provoking. Yes, the pacing was done with
some odd time signatures that will cause some questions during the initial
moments, but those questions should be answered as the movie plays out. In the
end, this was an entertaining and strange journey into an interesting world and
it is a movie that must be seen. If you have not seen it, find it and watch it!
