I don't even know where to start with PREDESTINATION. If I can summarize it, it's one helluva of "mind-***k" movie - not in a controversial kinda way but the premise is still disturbing nevertheless. It's a low budget science fiction film which demands the audiences' full attention and concentration. There are no big action sequences as the narrative is built around ideas and its characters. The story unfolds slowly revealing one puzzle at a time and if you're patient enough, you'll be pleasantly surprised with several "holy crap!" moments. It's difficult to talk about the movie because there are just so many concepts the film makers try to cram into the slim 90+ running length such as time travel and free will. It actually feels like an extended short film which focuses on tight story telling and beautiful photography. Although this film didn't garner the "likes" from mainstream audiences, it should be destined for cult status.
Rating: 7.5/10
