Primer

Primer...this movie is NOT for the faint of heart. It's very complicated and wraps around itself. Basically it's about a guy and his buddy who inexplicably create a time machine. This is no Back to the Future or Time Machine. This is very intelligent and very confusing if you don't pay attention or if you can't grasp the idea of a fourth dimension. If you've never watched any time travel type movie or if you got confused during Terminator, this will not be for you cause you wont get it. But if you loved that twisting and confusing idea if time travel, then this movie is right up your ally. I loved it for what it is...a mind trip. You want to understand how the machine works, but that is put to the back burner and you don't even notice cause everything else is soo good. This is also Shane Carruth's first ever movie and was made for about $7000. Super low budget, debut movie for Carruth and he makes this? Amazing. Not to mention I don't think he had any film schooling which makes it even more astounding that he made a movie of this caliber.
