Predestination Paradox

“What if I could put him in front of you, the man that ruined your life? If I could guarantee that you'd get away with it, would you kill him?”
This is the one line that defines Predestination (2015), a movie which has all the elements, science, romance, tragedy and thrill. This movie follows a temporal agent, a futuristic enforcer, one with the responsibility to change the course of the world, plant seeds of the future by time travel.
This movie embraces the several paradoxes time travel presents itself with. The main being the bootstrap paradox which is, ‘a theoretical paradox of time travel that occurs when an object or piece of information sent back in time becomes trapped within an infinite cause-effect loop in which the item no longer has a discernible point of origin, and is said to be “uncaused” or “self-created”.’ It explores several such paradoxes which are mind intriguing and finally lead to startling conclusions.
Join the agent as he goes out to find a ‘fizzle bomber’, who is bombing cities up, to him travelling to time spanning decades and recreating his own life. Truly, as said by a barkeep in the movie, ‘truth is stranger than fiction.’
