The film, relatively short for a large scale plot, encapsulates an audience extremely well - it habilitates curiosity. I think that the film does very well for itself in terms of not running the plot out too much. It could've been very easy to have the real pair run into the future pair, but they drew it out as long as they could without sacrificing the integrity of a lower budget film. For example, when they go wait in the machines for 5/6 hours for the time to reset for the first time, the audience gets an odd feeling. With full attentiveness, the film is a bit hard to keep up with. Not small things, but large ideas in the film are complex and hidden.

Primer, or Inception? Blog Post #4
Primer is quite well the definition of a time traveling version of Inception. That sentence was complex, but so was Primer. In fact, I think the complexity of this film is what made it so genius. You can't just watch Primer by yourself and fully comprehend the plot, you need at least six full IB students around you to assist.

Glad you like the film, even if it was unapologetically complex. But remember, this isn't a film review. You need to make connections beyond the film.
