Predestination
(2014) – M. Sperig & P. Sperig
From a short story by Robert A. Heinlein
about time travel comes this too-clever-for-its-own-good Australian film
starring Ethan Hawke and Sarah Snook.
The premise involves the hoary old chestnut of returning to the past in
order to change the future, for example, in order to prevent a great tragedy.
Along for the ride comes the idea that you could, of course, meet yourself and
change your own future. The Sperig
brothers have created a slick good-looking film, set in the US to appeal to
that market (with Hawke as the big name), but the story folds in upon itself
just a bit too much to remain logical and, even so, it is too easy to see the
big twist coming. That said, it doesn’t
really overstay its welcome at only 97 minutes, so it might be worth your
“time”.
