Primer

Ridiculously good movie. Is currently holding #1 on my favorite movie list. The movie is fairly simple, time travel, but the story is so complex it defiantly takes at least 2 watches and some reading/research on the internet :D The best part is that it doesn't include any children inappropriate material either.

Such a movie. NO Sci-Fi came closer to Primer in 2000s and it still holding its spot. Such a story told in a such and simple way. You can't come by that well thought time-travel movie every day or every decade.

Great story, great puzzle, and no reliance on special effects

Unbelievable how good a movie can be made with a minimalist $ 7k budget! Primer celebrates entrepreneurial garage science and digs deep into the ethical problems of time-travelling (don't worry, not that sci-fi, just think about the budget constraints of this film..). Smart and gives food for thought. Won the Sundance Film Festival Grand Prix 2004 - a nomination well earned.

Awesome time travel movie. If you're into sci-fi, you are required to watch this.

77 min movie made for $7000 that you will have to watch 7 times to figure out.

Great sci-fi, mind-refreshing

great, mind-bending and needs several watches but more than anything cool and enjoyable

Great time travel sci fi film. Lower budget so special effects are not what its all about. Great tech start-up feel.

Great Sci-Fi Film. Explores the counter-intuitive outcomes from time travel in a believable and mind bending way.

the depiction of accidental invention in this movie is really cool.

An original take on time travel

magnumi recommended this 1 year, 9 months ago

Requires multiple viewings to understand completely. Awesome if you love time travel and paradoxes.

Best type of Jedi mind-trickery, on a budget!

Incredible movie.

This really is a dramatically under-rated sci-fi movie. Amazing what they did with special effects (or much of a budget at all) etc.

nread-johnson recommended this 1 year, 11 months ago

A movie that should be seen a few times, to catch the small stuff if nothing else

Best indie sci-fi movie!

tylernol recommended this 2 years, 1 month ago

excellent movie, requires close attention paid to what really is going on. Directed by an engineer!

hrldcpr recommended this 2 years, 1 month ago

this movie had some quality mess with your head time travel implications. tricky and intense.

atomcats recommended this 2 years, 1 month ago

Most realistic (based on actual science / math / etc.) time travel movie. Ever.

matthandlersux recommended this 2 years, 1 month ago

the way time travel works in this movie was super clever and handled really well

jstohler recommended this 2 years, 1 month ago

If you love twisty uncertain movies (Mulholland Drive, 2001) or smart scifi (The Matrix, Blade Runner), put this one your list. Oh, but you say you like indie street cred? Shane Carruth wrote, directed, produced, edited, composed, everything'd this movie for just $7,000. "Primer" has it all. Plus, you will spend a day reading sites online that explain what you just saw.

Absolutely amazing movie.

jerlich recommended this 2 years, 1 month ago

Best time travel movie. ever.

jasonwalsh recommended this 2 years, 1 month ago

a mindfuck of a movie. One of the most pure scifi experiences I've seen in a long time. I've seen it 3 times I'm still not sure I have everything clear.

mskaslien recommended this 2 years, 1 month ago

An awesome, just awesome low budget Sci-Fi film. I've almost never had a movie blow my mind like this one, and if you've watched it once - you'll have to watch it again, to get it's finer points, though it's pretty hard to understand. I reccomend googling for a Primer Timeline, it helped me sort things out a little better!

joshr recommended this 2 years, 2 months ago

One of the most interesting movies in years, and a fantastic example great science fiction that is not focused on special effects.

devin-tierney recommended this 2 years, 2 months ago

Everybody should watch this movie. If you don't understand it, that's fine. You probably won't. But if you do, You might just find yourself looking at possibility in whole new ways...
