Just watched it yesterday and my mind is blown. This movie makes Inception look like a college level course while Primer is a graduate level course. So who's seen it? Lets discuss, super nerd style

For anyone that hasn't watched it. It's about two software engineers that develop a time machine and the chaos that ensues. It's done in an incredibly smart way that make the events seem like a real possibility. Also if you do watch it you'll need this site to unravel some of the mysteries http://theprimeruniverse.blogspot.com/?m=1

So the idea is to watch the movie multiple times to understand it? Seems that is the premise behind it. The more you watch it, the more information about the movie unfolds. At least that is what one of the trailer comments said. Seems many who see it don't understand it at all. I know this was released back in 2004 (independent film), but I never heard of this one.

Haha, ya that's about it. It's not very long though 78 minutes so a rewatch is no big deal.

That fan site I posted really helps explain it although I'm still lost and feel like I missed a lot.

I thought so. Yeah, you'll have to watch it a few times for it all to sink in.

Will watch on Netflix tonight. I loved Inception, I am going to see if I can capture as many details a possible in the first viewing.
