Primer


I'll make this short and bitter: Do NOT watch this film!

I knew it was in the time-travel genre, so sucker that I am for going back and forth in time, I had to see this one. It was made by a wannabe writer/actor who did the work for a mere $7,000...and it shows. There is not a single aspect of the plot that is either understandable or watchable. My dear spouse had to nudge me twice as I dozed off. A line from a review (which we sadly read later) advised something like: "This film is so confusing, anyone who says they understand it is either delusional or a liar."

My advice? Go for the cheesier, fun time travel films. See the original Time Machine. See Rachel McAdams fall in love time and again in The Time Traveler's Wife. See Guy Pearce in the updated Time Machine. See anything...but don't bother with Primer!
