Not much there that wasn't revealed first time around, but interestingly there's far less footage of Australian actress Sarah Snook, who takes much of the acting weight as Ethan Hawke's new partner. There's a bigger emphasis on a surgical procedure too.
If you've read Robert Heinlein's short story All You Zombies, on which Predestination is based, you might glean some of what might be going on, and why some things are better kept secret before a full viewing. Nothing to do with lumbering undead (the title is lifted from a quote towards the end of the story), it's a mind-boggling catalogue of time travel paradoxes. We can't tell you quite how mad it is without spoiling it...
The official movie synopsis gives us Hawke as a temporal agent, traveling back and forth through time, altering history on an assignment to thwart the mass-murderous ‘Fizzle Bomber’. Undercover as a bartender, he falls into conversation with a tough customer (Snook) and decides to take her under his wing.
Hawke previously worked with the Speirigs on the rather good Daybreakers, and the brothers describe this new opus as 'the mother of all time travel paradoxes'. One for the Looper crowd?
