Just saw Predestination on COMCAST on demand.
In what must be the ultimate causal loop story, a Temporal Agent is his own mother and father, both, and kills his own future self for being a terrorist whose activities gave birth to the organization of Temporal Agents, devoted to using time travel to prevent crimes.
A foundling goes from girl to woman to mother by a time traveler from the future, who is herself after a sex change, duped into fathering the child by another time traveler from the yet further future who is a Temporal Agent whose job is to prevent crimes, and who is also him/her self after an incident causing facial disfigurement beyond recognition.
The child is stolen in the hospital from the mother by that same disfigured time traveler from the future (she does not know who stole the child), who takes the child into the past and leaves it to be discovered as, yes, the foundling.
The disfigured time traveler from the future them maneuvers the male time traveler from the future who fathered the child into becoming a Temporal Agent and on his first mission disfigures him beyond recognition.
Then the disfigured time traveler from the future goes to another time and kills his own distant future self for having made a career as a terrorist he will undertake after killing that future self, completing his career as a time-traveling Temporal Agent.
I think.
Confused?
Great movie.
