I highly recommend you stop recommending Primer when time travel is brought up. The movie is better viewed not knowing anything about it. It could be a character drama before the weird shit starts going on. By the way, this is an awesome timeline http://neuwanstein.fw.hu/primer_timeline.html

I agree. I went into the movie knowing nothing and it was the biggest mindfuck ever.

Too bad any synopsis you read pretty much blows the surprise.

awesome, on another note i have a 30" computer monitor and i still had to scroll left

37" and still needed to scroll. Who's next?

pixels matter, bro. 30" mac display is 2560x1600

I'm one of those few people who completely hated Primer. I found it to be masquerading poor narrative as intellectual mystery. It's possible to present an intricate, complex logic puzzle as story without being totally incoherent, but Primer doesn't even bother.

For a movie that matches Primer in everything it does right, but none of what it does wrong, check out Timecrimes (Los Cronocrimenes). It is far superior.

Fully agreed!

Well, I didn't hate Primer, but genuinely thought Timecrimes was way superior. Plus the latter scared the shite outta me :-)

I agree! I Loved that film. Especially given the fact that it was made for so little. Huge fan. If you haven't seen it and are willing to put the intellectual effort in, buy it and watch it.

This is the only DVD I've bought in a store in the last 5 years. It's really an amazing film.

Truely confusing :-D but excellent movie!! :-P Very cleverly done.

Primer is an excellent film, especially when you consider that it was made for a total of only $7,000. That's not a typo: only seven thousand dollars!

Hollywood could really learn a lot from this movie.
