You owe it to yourself. Watch Timecrimes instead.
This movie... wow what pretentious... alright I won't rip on this movie. It's instinctive to do so. Just trust me. Watch Timecrimes.
shareI have Timecrimes on DVD. It's OK, but I don't know if it's any better or worse than Predestination.
shareTimecrimes is basically the perfect movie. Long have I searched for the perfect movie, and Timecrimes is probably one of the two or three that I've seen that comes the very closest to that. Predestination probably stole most of its ideas from Timecrimes. Predestination was cringeworthy, it insults your intelligence, and it was extremely predictable.
shareyou do realise that the plot to 'Predestination' is based on 'All you Zombies' by Heinlein (famous scifi author) right?, and it was written over 50 years ago, so if anything 'Timecrimes' stole from 'All you zombies'.

Philosopher David Lewis considers " '—All You Zombies—' " and "By His Bootstraps" to be examples of "perfectly consistent" time travel stories

yup, and the short story was almost as bad as the movie.
"so if anything 'Timecrimes' stole from 'All you zombies'."
time crimes has a completely different storyline and it is not even a boot strap paradox

feuerbach said that it was a crappy attempt, nothing more.
