I watched Predestination last night, kind of a sci fi mystery movie set in the past. It was a very enjoyable and intrigueing movie for the most part. Very plot driven movie, with twists and stuff which was supposed to keep you guessing till the end I guess. Unfortunately both me and my gf knew what was going on long before they did the reveal, so by the time they did this very elaborate reveal we were both a bit annoyed by it. Nevertheless still a very enjoyable and original movie.
Most people seem to have liked it, and I don't know, it probably gets better in the final hour of the film, but I wasn't finding it that good. Perhaps a problem of high expectations.
It was funny...ish I thought, not a huge fan of that Marvel humor I guess though I did love Quill's walkman and its songs
I honestly don't think you'll enjoy the final hour if you didn't enjoy the first. For me it basically fulfilled my expectations. Mostly just a fun feel good sci fi movie, and I like the characters. It is a Marvel and Disney movie, so I didn't have very high expectations regarding the plot or anything. But I did like it more than the Iron Man, Avengers, Captain America, Thor etc movies they did. Not sure that says much, as super hero movies won't ever be among my favourite movies, but I can really enjoy them nonetheless if they're done well.
While watching Guardians I couldn't help but think if Disney's upcoming Star Wars movies will be similar to this in style, which I honestly wouldn't mind. Although I guess JJ Abrams is directing that, so it'll probably be a more mature action movie, more epic cgi action movie stuff like the new Star Trek movies.
