Anything
special/memorable?
This is NOT A TYPICAL Sci-Fi movie. OK, you have been forewarned.
Jane's (Sarah Snook) on-screen transformation is really
mind-boggling and exceptionally well done. Of course, I don't know if any of it
was due to CGI but it didn't seem like it.

I have never seen or know who Sarah Snook was so when she
first appeared, I actually thought she was played by Jodie Foster. It
made me check who it was I was watching.
Both Ethan Hawke and Sarah Snook turned in great performances. You immediately get pulled into the movie. I remember there was another great Ethan Hawke Sci-Fi from the 90s - Gattaca (together with Jude Law)!
<< SPOILERS >>
Once you finish watching the movie, you learn that Agent Doe, Jane and the Fizzle Bomber are actually the SAME PERSON <what...!??!>!!! Yeah, I'm telling you this movie will blow your mind!
Waste/worth the time?
This is one of the better Sci-Fi movies that I have watched in the past 10 years. It reminds me of the time when I
watched Matrix in 1999. I compare this to Matrix because just like how the 
Being a huge fan of Sci-Fi (both
for movies and comics), I can say that this one gives a very fresh take on Time
Travel.
Predestination tries to tackle
the age-old Time Travel paradox - can you actually change things when you Time
Travel or nothing will change no matter what you do, even Time Traveling back
and forth?
Definitely a MUST WATCH! Even
more so if you deem yourself to be a Sci-Fi fan. Do give it a go - it will blow
your mind (I promise)!
I will give this movie a 8.5/10!
