One of the best first effort, no budget films I have ever seen. The director and actor commentary was interesting and informitive, Primer it is a good watch for would be filmakers and example of what can be acheived with almost nothing.

One word. Unbelievable. Excellent. Outstanding. Okay that's three words. This is what one guy (one very talented and bright guy), with a few friends and 7 grand can do. Something that big budget Hollywood can't. Create a good thought provoking thriller. No wonder this movie won the Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival in 2004. The story seems easy to understand, two engineers, Abe and Aaron, are working on theories and concepts in Aaron's garage. All the while creating, they are trying to get published and recognized. They try to create one invention for one thing, believe it becomes another, and actually becomes a way of time travel. In between all of the engineer jargon you can see the possiblities beging to gell around the story. Trying to understand this movie after watching it once will leave you with a misunderstanding or at least having missed some very important things. Two times great, three times seems to be a charm. It's a story about endless possiblities and having the hindsight in life to do whatever you want. Will your altruistic and idealistic nature last? Will your relationships and that which you charish remain the same? Once you open Pandora's Box, what will you do with it, and are you very sure about your answer? Primer is confusing to you the viewer because Primer is confusing to the characters and the author/director/actor pulls it off in a way that helps you to dig through the confusion to make sense of it. It does take a bit, but is well worth it.Read full review
I loved this movie, although I wouldn't recommend it to just anyone. If you prefer big budget, over-the-top action movies with a sci-fi backdrop; this movie is NOT for you. This is a more cerebral, low-budget job directed by one of the main actors/characters in the movie. This guy was extremely clever in how he put the movie together--the special features section covering how he did it was also very entertaining to me. The movie also entailed a very original take on the whole "time travel paradox" thing. There is very little real action in it, but the plot is deliciously difficult to decipher--especially ahead of time (this rarely happens to me when watching a movie, and is the main reason--besides the price, of course--that I bought it!). If you decide to watch it, don't miss even a few seconds of time doing so: you WILL, more than likely, miss something important! Five out of five stars, for me.Read full review
I love this film! Such a complicated and in-depth dive into time travel. Shane Carruth is a genius! His writing, acting, directing, and composing in Primer is impressive. I was happy to find the DVD on ebay, as it is no longer in print elsewhere.

This a great movie. It will confuse you if you do not pay attention. It is a mental roller coaster ride. And you will probably want to watch it twice. It is about some guys working on an invention in their garage & it turns out to something completely different. A time machine. They soon figure it out and alter past as well as future events. A create look at time travel. Worth the watch if you like mental flix.
A very different way of doing a time travel movie. Well thought out and realistic.

Amazing what a good story teller can do without over the top special effects!

There can be an overwhelming amount of confusion in the story, until you discover that it jumps back an forth in time, allowing the characters to play out their roles and develop the story to its end.

They made a great movie on a small budget. It keeps you wondering.
