Predestination (2014)

 'Predestination' was not the movie I thought I was getting. This 2014 Australian production is based on a 1959 short story by science fiction legend Robert A. Heinline, and stars Ethan Hawk and a pre 'Succession' Sarah Snook. Ostensibly about a time traveling cop, the bulk of the films first 50 minutes is devoted to a protracted transsexual origin story, which makes me curious how true to the original story this adaptation is. I was surprised by what I got, this is smart, pretty hard sci-fi in a retro-homage style. ***
