pedro2112 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I can't believe there hasn't been a thread on this movie yet. I rented it last night and simply put, it blew me away. How a movie can be this unbelievable and cost only $7,000.00 to make is mind boggling. I can't even discuss the movie as I don't want to ruin anythning in it.. although I'm not sure exactly what happened myself. I'll have to watch it again. Has anyone here seen it yet?

Schro Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 My wife almost picked this up for me this past weekend, but I hadn't read anything substantial about it to warrant renting it. Glad to hear your positive review Pedro, I'll definitely add it to my list now. Schro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you do watch it, make absolutely certain you are not stoned when you do. Seriously though... do not read up on the movie or do any research, believe me, you'll do plenty of that afterwards. Just see it. Edited July 27, 2005 by pedro2112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just see it. Out of respect for Pedro, I will only assume the following: 1) Using classic reverse psychology, Pedro really wants me to be stoned when I watch Primer. 2) In the same vein, he's recommending I learn as much as I can about Primer before I get stoned for viewing. 3) Pedro was stoned when he saw Primer and wants to share that unique experience without admitting said stonage, which would sully his reputation as an articulate non-stoned contributor to TRF. 4) Pedro was likely stoned when he wrote this. My only point of confusion is whether I should get stoned the entire day before watching the film or wait for the opening credits to light up.

Just watch the movie first without any research. Trust me on this one.

Rolinda Bonz Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Doood!!! That was total head trip! I need to watch that again straight (and i was straight when i watched it the first time ) No, really. Thanks for the recommendation, Pedro. I can see why it was so cheap to make. It's almost like a home video or something, which by the way, compliments the story line. Great flick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushgoober Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Pedro, Dude, I took you recommendation seriously, I was moved by your enthusiasm. I went to Blockbuster where I have that special monthly account deal. They dont carry it. F*ckers. Bummed, Goob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazzman Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Ok, just finished watching it. I'm still perplexed as to what exactly happened. I have a basic theory, but I dunno. I'm definently gonna have to watch it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midway Hawker Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 I just moved this movie to the front of my Netflix queue... If it's anything like Memento I'll be doubly confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro2112 Posted August 14, 2005 Author Share Posted August 14, 2005 Kazz, after you watch it again, go to the message board at Primermovie.com and read up on all the posts regarding the plot. A lot of stuff begins to make sense then. For those who haven't watched it yet, do not go to the message board until you have watched it at least twice.

physics23 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Do not read this unless you've watched the movie. Please. It's reassuring to know I'm not the only one in a discombobulated state after watching this. Why o why didn't I pay more attention to the subtle details of the conversations, the names, and the events? There's no avoiding a second showcase at this point, but I'll allow at least another day to pass for my brain to process the jumble of information accumulated before I give it another go. What can be said is that the acting was superb. The guys played their roles masterfully. As for the writing, I can't complain because I don't like when everything's obvious; even if I'm foggy right now, I still feel as though it's my own fault for not being more alert. I'm left with a nimiety of unanswered questions, but I won't dump them here just yet. Great movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spirit of radio Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Just finished watching all but the last 10 minutes of this movie ( dvd rip from Torrent that froze up ) Very interesting time travel story that gets a little convoluted along the way ( which makes it all the more interesting ) I think i got the gist of it and would like to see the ending to tie up all the loose ends. Can't get a decent dvd burn these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schro Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Finally took this in last night. Very good film, especially considering the budget - I have to applaud the creators for getting the most oot of what they had to work with, not dissimilar to the characters in the film heh. I'm kinda with Pedro, didn't quite get everything the first time. Enjoyed it quite a bit, and will try to get a second viewing in. Thanks for the recommendation Pedro.
