best.

Is anyone else really impressed by the soundtrack? It reminds me of Brian Eno's Music for Airports. Is there anything Shane Carruth can't do?

@ChristopherDone I made a few errors the first time around, so I rewrote the reply. Basically, they can only go back to the earliest point that a box was set running. This took the form of the failsafe box setup by Abe on Sunday morning. I can't see how Aaron could get back to that point in the timeline, a time before they had discovered the time traveling. If I've missed something, please help me out.

1:56 — perfect! He's eager to press the button because he's done this all before.

@Slimboid Shane Carruth also composed the music too.

Absolutely love this film, such a cool idea, executed with huge talent all round
I had no idea it was such a low budget project ! I'm amazed,
If you haven't seen this film, watch it now, it will mess with your brain!!!

@jeffjlogan I interpreted the degeneration of their penmanship to be a symptom of being a copy of a copy of a copy... like a degenerating image that has been through a Xerox machine countless time and becomes increasingly distorted and illegible. But... yeah... loss of muscle memory... awesome movie!!
$7000 budget? Woh. And it's so much better than most of the Hollywood douchery where they've spent 10,000 times that amount.

I've now seen it 15 times. I kept thinking I've got it. Now I definitely have it all worked out. Finally. Theres so many clues, right down to the rotation of camera shots. Which Aaron is Aaron? etc. On the face of it , it's a simple looking film yet it is so packed full of hidden story. Mind boggling. Amazing film. I'm watching it again. Right NOW !.
