Review of Primer (2004) by Infrarecon — 10 May 2023

2023, and I only started watching this moving, first of all, wtf is going on, I have never felt in my life confused about watching a movie, is that meant to be the point? Are the complexity and broken-up scenes meant to represent time?

Or am I just crazy, and need some sleep. To be honest I don't know, this is a film that must be built up to be broken down to understand what the heck is going on.

But I think the real question is why I watched this film, So Im working, well thinking about a story in my head that requires a little time travel knowledge.

Did this movie Help, uuuuuuhhh, I really Don't, I understood what was going on, even when they went back in time in a paradoxical loop(Which is dangerous by the way, if time travellers exist, don't go back to a time where you exist, it either ends in you killing yourself or an unforeseen consequence).

So what the hell do I even rate this I'm deciding between a 6 and a 7, let's go 7. This for most people will confuse them, even for me and I deal with computers, design and software every day. The film itself is rather short but well-paced, well-acted, calm chaotic and pretty modern in my eyes.

Maybe extra scenes should have been added to help the lesser audience to keep up with the weird structure of the film.

No matter who you are, You will be confused but you will follow, for some reason unknown.

I went into this film feeling confused, I left feeling confused but satisfactorily unsatisfied.
