12 Most Overlooked Science Fiction Films Of The 2010s

12. Predestination (2014)

Based on Robert A. Heinlein’s short story All You Zombies, this mind-bending film revolves around a time-traveling agent (Ethan Hawke) sent back in time to prevent a 1975 New York bombing by the so-called Fizzle Bomber.

Along the way, he meets a mysterious man (Sarah Snook), whose life story might prove to be key to the mission.

Relying heavily on the concept of the predestination paradox - a sequence of causally looped events - the film takes the idea of time travel to a new level, exploring the human dimension within.

Snook is the standout among the cast, bringing vulnerability and a fighting spirit to her character; the actor’s eyes tell a tale beyond the character’s haunting narrative.

This is Hawke’s second collaboration with the directors The Spierig Brothers after the underrated Daybreakers and his performance is the contrasting epitome of curiosity and weariness.

This cerebral riddle will stay with you long after the credits roll.
