Predestination (2015) :star2: :star2: :star2: :star2:

Starring: Ethan Hawke, Sarah Snook
Directed by: Peter Spierig, Michael Spierig
Written by: Peter Spierig, Michael Spierig, Robert A. Heinlein

This movie can give you a headache trying to watch it. But if you are in for a challenge and paradox this is it!

Ethan Hawke technically plays the movie’s hero — a temporal agent who’s trying to prevent an attack that will kill thousands of people. He runs up against the fact that he can’t change the event. Everything he does only contributes to it.

Finished watching the Season!
I can compare it to Transcendence in a way but not entirely. The use of current technology to show something was intriguing as it is possible and an everyday task to many in dev; the prediction algorithm! Worth the time!

Something you didn’t expect, A cartoon but not for kids! this was produced by Disney.

there’s nothing more to write better than the article on Forbes
