“You are here to create history and influence what is to come. Understand, you are more than an agent, you are a gift given to the world through a predestination paradox. You are the only one. Free from history, ancestry. You must complete your mission. You must lay your seeds for the future. We’re counting on you.”

Ini film gilak! Mindblowing. Its super duper better than average sci-fi film. Its about paradox of time travelling. Non linear. No clues and full of questions from the first with very slow start. I dont understand as who’s and why’s. Although it will be end, I still dont know where the direction and whats going on till 5 minutes before credit title.

When you see Predestination, please focus in every detail of its. Karena banyak kode dan hal kecil yang ternyata jawaban-jawaban dari beberapa pertanyaan yang ada di film. Menontonnya kita seperti sedang merekam puzzle-puzzle yang kemudian harus kita susun berdasarkan kejadian-kejadian super aneh.

Predestination is based short story by Robert A. Heinlein, All You Zombies, written and directed by Michael and Peter Spierig with stars Ethan Hawke, Sarah Snook and Noah Taylor. Its about A time-traveling agent goes back in time in order to catch an infamous terrorist known as the “Fizzle Bomber”.

Very strong and complicated character. Karakter utamanya adalah hermaprodit yang berkelamin ganda saat lahir. Perempuan ketika lahir sampai dengan menjelang dewasa dan laki-laki ketika dewasa sampai tua.

Alur filmnya adalah Present, Past, Future, Past before Past yang pertama, trus ke Future after Future yang kedua and bolak balik dunia paradok lagi non linear sehingga saat nonton beberapa kali saya harus rewind karena harus memperhatikan tahun kejadian. Keutuhan cerita terletak pada perjalanan lintas waktu

Predestination seperti gabungan antara film Memento dan Interstaller-nya Christopher Nolan plus film Looper dengan tambahan plot seperti yang ada di novel-novel Agatha Christie. Unpredictable! Its succeed touching my heart and after credit title I feel like my brain is going to explode. Absolutely awesome plot, great idea and something very original and creative screenplay. Sembah sujud buat yang nulis scriptnya!
