I saw this because someone recommend it to me. I remember being about 10 minutes in and still wondering about what the frick are they talking about. Was pretty confusing indeed.

The point of the film is to not explain anything, just show you a series of events starting from a different timeline and hope you get it after watching a couple times. But basically the film starts off with the group making a machine that ends up being a time machine but also it's creating different timelines since there's multiple versions of you every time you use it. Then it cuts to when one of the guys uses the hard reset machine the other guy made just in case to go all the way back to fix something that would happen in the future. Essentially by the end of the movie there's 3 of one guy out there in the same timeline and 2 of the other guy and they have to create new identities for themselves. It's a decent film for one viewing even though they intended for you to be autistic about it and waste more time watching a low budget movie to feel smarter afterwards.

You can get it with just one watch.
You are not supposed to understand all the timelines, they're there to distract you.
The movie is about decaying friendship.
There's not anything to get, it was a novel idea for a time travel mechanic at the time it came out. Showing that it's inventors are barely on the cusp of what its possible with the technology in it's infancy should have clued you in. The movie isn't about time travel, it just uses time travel as a plot device. You can waste your time and energy trying to understand a fictional interpretation of time travel imagined by a guy that beats women, or you can understand that the time travel is little more than a plot device given substance, and that you're instead supposed to be focusing on the deteriorating relationship of it's inventors and how they change having this technology in their lives.
>watch it one time >don't get the movie entirely >watch it two times >second watch is boring and isn't worth
perfect amount is one watch + london city girl video + being able to touch grass and settle with an idea of not getting absolute every detail of the movie only movie buffs know about
got it on the first watch and second watch just confirmed i did indeed get it
but that is not the brilliance, it is the natural dialog and simplicity yet going so deep that is the enjoyable trip
Yes, but also it's better if you just watch short videos explaining it. I'm still a bit confused about how it all works but I get the gist of it.

You can't even explain the movie, so stfu.
This isn't about critical thinking, dipshit.

What didn't you understand OP. If you get lost in the details it becomes overwhelming but I think if you try to view it as a whole it's easy to get.
I mean was it real or all a dream?
homie yes it was real
the point of primer is that you're supposed to be as confused as the characters. over-analyzing the time travel misses the forest for the trees

unironically filtered, gets into time travel memes after 20 mins or so
The film is 99% fast, overly technical, intentionally confusing talk and 1% fun time travel stuff. Not exaggerating.
tv hates this movie even though its actually genuinely amazing

you should watch it multiple times because it's a good movie
Upstream Color mogs this film so hard. I can't believe the same director made both.
I can, both of them are fantastic. I would probably kiss Carruth's willy if he asked me to
>we will never get A Topiary or probably any kino from him again
Why did he have to be psycho
He wouldnt be able to make such kino if he didn't beat women.
Is this fricking schizo making more kino?
I think he's cancelled because he abused his gf. he was this close to making topiary kino. he did pretty cool cameo in Tales From the Loop
i dont think so. i miss this homie like you wouldn't believe.
this. its sad
he can't stop abusing his ex girlfriends
It's not his fault she cheated on him and gave him STDs. He reacted justifiably
No. The idiot showed the restraining order in a Twitter post.

Perfect amount is watch halfway realize it sucks and go watch Back to the Future instead.
got it on the first watch and second watch just confirmed i did indeed get it
but that is not the brilliance, it is the natural dialog and simplicity yet going so deep that is the enjoyable trip
you couldn't get it on the first watch
Seriously? The phone call explains everything at the end to Aaron prime.
No, truly intelligent people such as iself comprehend this kino simply by looking at the poster. No second or first viewings necessary.
>80% of the movie happens LE OFFSCREEN
this was boring and lame. I will admit the concept is clever and ahead of its time but the execution is terrible.
