Nope......

Still don't get it.

Hold on. Who dropped my rating half a star?

I did.

I did?

Yeah.

When?

Next week.

Why?

Because you get mad that you're too stupid to understand it when you rewatch it again. You vent your anger on this innocent film's rating.

Yeah, that sounds like me....

I'm such a twat sometimes.

I know.

Indeed.

Coffee?

Nah, I already will have some.

Right....

"OK, here we go, keep your thinking cap on, Chris, we'll need to concentrate on this one."
"I'm right there with you, brain. Let's go."

"Brain, this is really easy to follow. We're so smart."
"You're right there, Chris. For a reward, I'm going to think of our favourite foods for a second. First up, pizza, then..."
*WHOOSH*
"Wow! What the hell was that!? Chris, what was that?"
"Am... I think the guy just explained what was going on."
"That was quick. Don't worry, he might explain it again. Let's concentrate. Wait, why is all that writing on the screen?"
"That writing is called 'the end credits', brain."
"Oh."
"Yep. Oh."
"Ah, never mind. Pizza?"
"Sigh."

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

It's being narrated by the third iteration, who is speculating on what the fourth iteration did after he left ... right? I had it last night, but I was drunk.

Scene where they see themselves in the past is one of my favorite in cinema history. Incredibly deep and realistic for such a fantastic concept.

Maybe I'll never know exactly why I think this movie is so damn good. It's also quite possible that I will never even be able to completely wrap my head around the exact progression of events that the movie depicts.

It really doesn't matter if you understand it or not though. I was kind of in love with Primer even before I started scouring the internet for clues and explanations for the plot. It just creeps into your brain and doesn't let go.

Excellent, Independent, Time Travel film. Really shows what great things you can accomplish even with a tiny budget. I enjoyed it much, much more than Upstream Color.

I was excited to watch Primer, since it has such a rabid cult following and I know it's supposed to be a movie that rewards many, many viewings. Unfortunately, my one viewing was a bit of a chore, and I don't find the puzzle interesting enough to to try and piece it together on my own. There is a kernel of an interesting idea in here, but it's completely buried by bland, indistinguishable characters and dreadfully dull dialogue. The movie also tries to explore the deterioration of the friendship of the two protagonists, but neither of them were fully realized enough for me to have any emotional reaction whatsoever.

Re-watched in preparation for seeing Upstream Colour soon (hopefully). Remains one of my favourite science fiction films. After 4 viewings I don't think I'm much closer to understanding the mechanics of the plot but I always enjoy experiencing that grainy, florescent-lit confusion.

wut

Need to watch this again.

I thoroughly enjoyed being completely confused by the time travel concepts in this film. As soon as my head stops spinning, I am going to give this one another run through. I have no plans on figuring it all out on the next viewing, but I may pick up on a few clues here and there, and that will satisfy me, until I watch it again :)

It can get hard to follow at times, in fact after I was done I actually considered watching parts of it again, but in the end decided it would better to fully watch it again in a few months, part of me loved part of me is still confused, only time will tell which part will win out.
