Have someone else besides me seen this movie?

If you haven't, I suggest you do, if you're up for a headache... good kind of headache.

If you have, could you kindly tell me what the fuck had just happened there? I mean, this FEELS like a good movie, but it'd be even better if I understood who killed whom, how many times and why.

Agh, general idea was great, but realization was way too artsy for a plot as complicated as this one.

 

This is where the two guys build the time travel device, right? Total headfuck, and clearly one of the most confusing movies ever made. I still have no idea what really happened.

 

Yeah, it's like Memento when I first saw it - I FEEL it's a great movie, even though I have no clue what's going on.

As for Primer... in the end, it's clear that those two had traveled months back and will try to stop their clones from ever building the machine, leaving two sets of each guy around.

But between the experiment with kids smacking cars and that part, I haven't understood a thing.

Heh, that only made my headache worse... This guy had over-analized the movie and still can't understand everything that happened. Fucking brainwrecker...

 

Sorry. I didn't really read it, just skimmed. It looked useful, my bad.

The movie is just fucking complicated. My advice, just make something up and be happy.

 

That helped a little bit, actually, because it mentions quite a bit of stuff I missed, so when I watch it again I think I'll be able to understand it better.
