Anyone see the movie "Primer"? It was excellent.
Horribly confusing, I had to watch it twice to really understand it, but it was really cool.
Here's a link:

It's easy to get ahold of, I found it in Blockbuster!

I started to watch it, but found it so confusing that I gave up on it. :roll:

I watched the first hour, didn't understand any of it. I can usually follow films with complicated plots, but this was terrible storytelling, with incredibly vague dialogue. Also, frankly it bored the s**t out of me.

It cost only $7000 to make!
The only problem was the sound, I could not understand what the characters were saying to each other, it was like they were whispering their lines.

Damn good movie overall!

I saw the movie once a while ago, english is not my language, and I didn't get most of what they were talking about, so I did not understand it well. I love time travel that deal with paradoxes and multiple timelines.
