I watched Primer for the first time last night.

It was pretty good but confusing. Part of the issue was that the sound/dialogue is not always clear so that unless you rewind, you can be in the dark about what is going on. I would catch myself thinking, "what did he just say?" and then thinking, "I'll just watch further to get the explanation." Well, there was never an explanation coming.

I love time travel/parallel universe stories and this one has held up fairly well for being a low budget Indie film from 2004.

Watched Wraith last night It reminded me a ton of Mandy. I wonder if they got some inspiration from Wraith.

Part of the fun of Primer is figuring it out… and googling the charts and watching again. It’s definitely confusing, it’s meant to be.

Primer is a great sci-fi film, but one of the most confusing movies ever made. It takes the subject of time travel, and all the implications that follow, and lays them out in the most complicated, but accurate fashion possible. It takes a LOT of analysis to fully understand the film, and even though I thought I did, this chart proves me wrong.
