Predestination (2015)

This is a mind-boggling and very clever story that takes time-travel to the very extreme. SPOILER ALERT!


Ultimately it features a very carefully crafted time-loop in which the same person not only coexists several times at the same ...er... time, but this person becomes both the father and the mother of him/herself, as well as the federal agent who makes the encounters possible and the bomber the agent is chasig through time in the first place.


This cleverly designed time-loop requires that the universe "mysteriously" steers events to happen the same way in each iteration, so this is how the paradox is averted (not solved). The time-loop is then taking pace eternally, cosed in itself.

As can be seen here in this excellent diagram (found in http://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/88060/who-was-really-the-fizzle-bomber-in-predestination) for the balance to be maintained, in each iteration one version of the person needs to be terminated as a new baby is born. This is perfectly built into the story.

So, regarding the scores, my take is the following: 302.0
