Warning, do not watch this movie (Primer). You will not be able to get it out of your mind. You will become obsessed, watching it over and over,trying to figure it out.

Seriously, though, this film is very well done. There is so much information and it happens so quickly, you will watch it again to try to understand it. A very interesting concept and very interesting moral/ethical considerations.

A must-see.

I did laugh at one point in the movie--when Aaron says, "I haven't eaten since later this afternoon!"

IF "The Topiary" DOESN'T COME OUT SOON I WILL DIE.

Sorry dude, but the movie bussiness is hard. He's been trying to make a second film for quite some time now, but people won't give him the money he deserves :(

Fantastic. This is the best movie I have seen in years. Oddly enough their machine reminds me of my anti gravity prototype. lol

Great movie on an ultra low-budget

Shane, make another movie!

Hah. first thing he said was that he was a software engineer. I am in something called informatics (applying software engineering to benefit real world practices) and basically half of my course load, through college and post-grad, was software engineering.

I understood the movie from the get go (although I watched it a couple more times and researched some of it, to get a much better understanding) and I must say i wish more movies stimulated people to acquire knowledge more like this film.

@LarryCage sure is! The crew for the film was only 5 or 6 people (not including actors)

@neffmoore Primer is one of the best movies ever. I've seen it over 100 times and I want to keep watching it over and over.

[kurono1999]

it's a very good movie, quite an achievement.

you may wanna see it about 12 times or something..

I watched this movie and I'm quite sure that my brain exploded.
