My wife and I spent a few days really digging into Primer, and I feel like we understand like… 85% of it, which is pretty good imo. Love that movie.

One of the few movies I have rewatched.

The plot is both intricate and simple, it is very well done.

Yeah, I watch that about once a year. It’s, I think, the only time travel story that actually follows it’s own rules. Have you seen Upstream Color? Same guy, really interesting story. It can lead into Blade Runner 2049 elements about consciousness and memory.

This movie gets a lot of love among a certain crowd I feel. I watched, but I feel the diagram and timeline exploration takes so much effort and energy it’s not really a story any more. It’s just mental masturbation (kinda like tenet).

I honestly don’t think Primer is meant to be understood. I think I read somewhere that their goal was not to make a cohesive storyline, but rather something that was open to interpretation.

There’s only one chart that matters when it comes to Primer.
