I just going to say it...this is probably my favorite "Time Travel" movie. Though I associate it more with what I call the "time-loop" sub genre...you get the point. So why is Primer so damn good...how does it stand out amongst the myriad films of this type? Unlike so many sci-fi films (time travel or otherwise) it manages to come off as authentic and above all else believable. Because at the end of the day its not about tech its about people and its the people (or rather the two leads) that sell this movie. So while on the surface we're dealing with a film about two guys with the ability to travel back in time. What we're actually dealing with is a meditation on trust, ambition and what success/wealth means to you.
