Anyone here seen this? I watched it yesterday and I'm still trying to wrap my head around it, blew my mind. Is this the only time-travel movie that's executed the exhausted trope right? It's like Memento but the confusion is actually justified by the inherent complexity of time travel.
If not bait; primer is a psuedointellectual fedora-tippin cringefest. The "realistic" dialogue is so boring it ends my suspension of disbelief because i cant imagine people that boring to exist.
primer is a cool movie to watch a few times, be like what the fuck, then read a pdf on the significance of every scene
it deserves points for taking its time travel to a much farther logical conclusion than most other films

I hate this movie so fucking much
it looks like dog shit and the "dialogue" is like reading a fucking schematic
shane carruth is a fucking HACK
I have a hard time accepting that respectable STEM white men that wear ties would watch cuckhoop

>they time travel back and suddenly their phones ring
>then they start discussing how the cell phones work in case of there are duplicates phones

>plebs hate the dialogue
"Primer is of note for its extremely low budget (completed for $7,000), experimental plot structure, philosophical implications, and complex technical dialogue, which Carruth, a college graduate with a degree in mathematics and a former engineer, chose not to simplify for the sake of the audience."
Oh that makes sense.

Anime is objectively less valuable in terms of artistic merit so this can't be true.

Anime is a mistake

It's fucking great.
It's cool for people interested in theoretical time-travel and it's implications, but for plebs it's a little over an hour of "What? What's going on?"
Based Shane can't do no wrong.

I liked it. Every time I watch it or think about it, it always begs new questions. People who call it a fedora tipping hipster film are too young to realize how unique it was for 2004.
i liked Coherence more

Waay too dumb for this movie. It's cool AS an experiment that gained cult status but i wouldnt exactly call it good.
Primer only has techy dialogue in, like, the first quarter of the movie when they're designing the thing. The rest of it is them talking about events that are happening, not the technology. Even if you don't understand a word of the stuff in the beginning, it has no bearing on your ability to understand the plot of the movie.
Also, are there any other movies like this where you can only figure out how the scenes fit together by putting the pieces together afterward? I mean, this movie gives you almost zero in-movie clues about the particular timeline you're witnessing at any given moment.
