Had a 'Nolan' feel to it

Not sure if the directors are Christopher Nolan fans, but I felt like Predestination had a strong Nolan feel to it. The directing style, the cinematography, the revelation of the twists, etc, all seemed heavily inspired by his style. Just the impression I got from it. What do you guys think?

Yeah they are similar but I don't think it was intentional.

I think they look/feel similar because these directors, and Nolan, pick similar techniques that tend to work for these types of stories.

Agreed. it had a very Nolan-like feel to it, specially the Cinematography.

Very Christopher Nolan-like. Although if it had been a Nolan film the Noah Taylor part would have been played by Gary Oldman!
