I knew this film through Chris Stuckmann's recent review of it. Through his review, my expectation was already set up high at the begining of this film. I knew I was going to at most get some mindf**k, but nothing too ridiculous. I thought I was ready but ....... HOLYSHIT!!!
From the trailer, we know that time travel can make someone disorientated. No need time travel, I already feel disorientated watching this movie. If you think Inception is hard to follow, then don't watch this film because you either won't understand what's happening and think that it is a bad movie, or try to figure what's happening and die because your head explodes.
I think that very few people are mentally prepared for this film. Mindf**k at the extreme level, so extreme that I actually felt a little bit dizzy after finishing the film. To sit through this film, I had to use my brain so much that it hurt a little. The ending though, all I can say is it's not a happy ending. The ending makes me feel trapped, trapped inside a slowly collapsing metal box, and sad, sad because of the inevitability and general purposelessness.
If you read the blog I wrote about Snowpiecer, you know that I am a little hipter-ish. The lesser known is a movie, the bigger the chance that I would love it. However, I love Predestination not entirely because of the hispter-ish reason this time. I love it because it is truly, like Chris said, awesome.
