A very intriguing and uniquely shot psychological sci-fi film about an accidental time travel discovery with very unforseen consequences. A revealing look at how one amazing breakthrough seen from different perspectives can cause…

A heads up, this movie is really for a niche audience. At first go I was completely lost and bored out of my mind attempting to get through it. I decided to give it another go and you really have to pay close attention to the dialogue…

Awesome concept, engaging presentation, but the story is very hard to follow. Really recommend reading the Wikipedia article after watching!

This is not a fluff film for mass consumption. If you're not into physics, you will have a hard time understanding what's going on in this movie. If you are into physics, and the theoretical repercussions of time travel, then this film is…

Primer is the most realistic science fiction movie I've ever seen, and hands down the best time travel movie of all time! Many time travel stories depend on invoking either nostalgia for long-passed days or dystopian fear of distant…

Written, directed, produced, edited and scored by Shane Carruth who also stars, this 2004 SF drama delves into the accidental discovery of time travel. The director seems to have made this film to his own satisfaction without…

Cerebral sci-fi movie that requires more than one viewing to penetrate it's maze of meanings. This is a low budget movie, so it's for those who are able to think a little- not about flashy explosions or graphics.

Primer is about time travel to get rich quick by scamming the stock market. Four engineers moonlight in a garage. While trying to make objects lighter, one engineer accidentally creates a machine that uses argon gas to reset time. He…

The basic premise of Primer has the potential to be exceptional, as I admire and respect sci-fi movies based on actual science. I actually viewed this movie a second time, not realizing I had seen it quite some time ago. My reaction both…

Ever wonder what would happen if a couple 4-year olds wrote a movie with cardboard boxes for props? Here you go! This has it all: Fake science double-talk, gay tension, no budget...basically a long U-Haul ad with no understandable point.…

Much more complicated than an ordinary film, even "Inception". Be prepared to watch it a second time before understanding it, and maybe looking at a chart. This means the film isn't for everyone. It's so complicated because time travel…

Confusing.

If you like "Primer" (which I do), be aware that the man behind it, Shane Carruth, has completed his second feature (the first new one in almost a decade!), "Upstream Color", which is set to be released in April 2013. I, for one, will make…

Considering the inexperienced, minuscule crew of five, and the absurdly low budget of $7,000 that it took to make this movie, Primer is quite an impressive feat. It's stylish, has great dialogue (though not typical at all—much of if it's…

If "Inception" confused you than this movie isn't a good choice for you. It's as simple as that.

This movie raises many questions. For example, How did this get on my list? Why did I waste my time? What the *)*_)( was I thinking of?

Not for everyone. But personally I loved it. If you enjoy extrapolating on 'what if' questions, the inner workings of science intrigue you, and you happen to like movies like momento or inception that cause you to have to analyze the…

This is a really complicated Rubix Cube of movie that you have to watch multiple times to understand. I still am not sure if I totally understand 100% of what went on and I watched it twice. It was made on a real credit card budget and the…

You have to watch closely and probably view at least twice to try to figure out what happened. But it is well worthwhile to do so. The physics has been well veted though the possiblity of time travel is still doubted. As much as the…

It is impossible to underrate this film- it literally put me to sleep multiple times. Monotone delivery, 'science' babble that is easily identifiable as such, and a total lack of visual flair make for a dull, drawn out one-trick pony.

you'll need to watch very intently because of the time shifts but it is an excellent movie for the "thinker" in all of us. will be signing it out again

Confusing but spellbinding.
