Can't believe noone mentioned Primer
I heard about it but never watched it. Is it good? What is it about?
Its very good. Its a low budget indie film. Its about two unremarkable engineers who work on toy projects in their garage accidentally discovering a type of time travel similar to the movie Looper. The film follows the realization, experimentation and ultimately the downfall of the engineers due to the power of their own discovery.
Primer is famous for being extremely complex and hard to follow. The characters speak in real engineering jargon, and there's constant time travel paradoxes happening in the background which you don't pick up on without multiple viewings.
If you like being intellectually challenged, its great.
Should also be mentioned that the director is a massive POS, which is why I don't promote the movie even though I like it.
Thank you, director been POS never stopped me from watching or liking the movie/show. I don’t even care for most ratings or reviews. There were many times when rating or review was bad but i loved watching it.
Sometimes I wonder if horrible people can be great storytellers because their outlook on life is so different from our own. That doesn’t excuse or justify their behavior, but still, I wonder.
From my personal experience watching some POS directors/writers content sometimes they can better than good once.
Then you should also check out his other film, Upstream Color. Primer is a genre-defining piece of scifi, but Upstream Color is arguably an even better film.
From Wikipedia:
It's a shame because the film with Seimetz is called Upstream Color and it's great. I saw it before the allegations so I'm glad I have an unfettered experience of it.
But yeah
1st I'm hearing of this too.
Came here to say this. That movie is fantastic. And it was made for basically nothing. It’s so smart.
They begged borrowed and stole everything to make the movie, except spent $8000 to rent lights to film.
They then went on to make $20m at the box
Top shit. You get 30 min in and go wtf is happening? Then it all hits you. Hard.
