Predestination is an Australian movie released in 2014, starring Ethan Hawke and Sarah Snook. It's based on the Robert Heinlein short story 'All You Zombies'.

The film received critical acclaim for Snook's outstanding portrayal of a character who at first appears to be a woman transitioning to male, but her story is much, much stranger than that.

Although the version here isn't of the very highest quality, it's certainly watchable.

One of my all-time favourite stories. And they called the doctor Heinlein!

Great actress,

Predestination fit that same niche. It was a dark movie told darkly with no viable end because everyone could keep jumping time. Are we left with the feeling we watched "Groundhog Day" all over again?

Sometimes stories are better left in the book and to the reader's own imagination rather than trying to transport the tale to a movie. The acting gets an A plus. The script an F

I think I agree with Janeway on this one.
Can anyone guess the quote I am thinking of?

It was worth seeing once.
