Primer

[Mike Olbinski]

Heard from Ebert and Roper how great a movie this was, plus some buzz around the internet about it, so I watched it...

Kind of a weird movie, like Memento or something...these two men invent a machine that they find out is a time machine basically.

What happens from there gets confusing, but it's very well done and made I thought.

The budget for the movie was $7,000...pretty amazing...check it out, if you like time travel-type movies..

Haven't seen it yet, but have heard mostly positive reactions from those who have.

Saw this last night while taking care of the baby. I think because I missed some dialogue and sometimes wasn't watching the screen I got a little lost. It was very confusing, and it seemed to require a lot from the viewer (even in scenes I knew I caught everything, I had to deduce what was happening).

Overall, I thought it was really interesting (especially considering it was done for $7K--I didn't know that), but the screenplay could have been tighter, IMO.

Recently watched it. I love time travel movies. I thought it was great how they didn't try to explain everything that was happening. I enjoy being totally confused. This would be a great movie to watch with a bunch of friends, so you pause/rewind and discuss to try to figure out what the heck is going on. The perspective in which the film is shot makes it extremely difficult to put a time-line together.

Awful, awful, awful movie. This piece of garbage actually won Sundance. Granted, it's an interesting idea, but the execution was absolutely horrible. There's a reason why the director wins Sundance then decides not to continue making movies.

Finally got around to watching this on Netflix. I have no idea what was going on at the end, and I watched every detailed minute of it. I sort of enjoyed how they go there. If what happened is what I think happened, I anticipated it, and that was enjoyable.

Watch if you are a true science nerd. There's a lot of it in there. My fiancee' is a chemistry major, and even she was looking at me like, "I have no idea if that's real or not."
