Movies and TV Anyone see the movie Primer?

I almost never get lost when watching a film... but this one I am gonna have to watch at least once more maybe more time...

Really interesting film and enjoyable but they present time travel at such a face value without little hints or cheats.. that it gets real convoluted... real quick.

Overall it was well worth watching.

Anyone else seen it?

I have seen it and yes it is very hard to follow. They don't hit you over the head with the foreshadowing or important lines, if that makes sense. Like they're just say their lines in a sort of quick monotone and keep going and you're kind of like, "What? I bet that was important." I understood it generally, but yeah, I'm sure I could go back through it and pick up much more stuff.
It was good, worth watching.

Weird and somewhat confusing flick. But it was pretty good.

I've seen it 55 times.

Something about timetravel, right?

Yeah, it's a mind**** for a lack of a better word. I believe there was a discussion about it in the movies thread, but who knows since it's a behemoth thread.

AustinChief. I am going to see it soon. Have the movie and haven't seen it yet.

real scifi even low budget is excellent compared to horrorcrap on Sci-joke channel.
