I tried watching it on Showtime about a month ago. About halfway through I realized that it wasn't going to live up to it's potential so I turned it off. Eventually I was bored and it was on again so I finished it, and to no suprise it was more boring the second time in it's entirety. I did think it was shot very well if it was done on a shoe string budget though.

Yea what xxxthundercatxxx said was right i found it boring and confusing, i was like what the hell is going on and the boring scenes just left me so uninterested in the whole thing.

I liked primer until the last 15 minutes when everything got 10 times more complicated for no reason at all. Its like the director wanted to make a movie that made no sense what-so-ever. This movie is for pretentious assholes that want to make people feel stupid, like Stephen Hawkings.

I guess I'm a pretentious asshole then, because I really liked it.

I'm not going to sit here and say I understood the whole thing... but I don't need to understand a movie completely to enjoy it. (Swimming Pool, anyone? How about Mulholland Drive? Or any Lynch movie for that manner?)

Jesus, that timeline is more complicated than the movie. Um... I guess I still won't completely understand the movie b/c I'd have to sit down for a good 2 hours, with the movie playing, to figure that out. I think that timeline must be for pretentious assholes. :)

The funniest thing about what you just said is that you'd have to sit down for two hours to watch an 80 minute film. That's the kind of movie this is.

so ****in good. FINALLY just saw it. It really kicked my ass. I understood the entire thing up until the last 5 minutes, I think I'll just need to rewatch that shit. I loved the human drama that surrounded the concept of time travel and how that was the focus instead of just travelling to a bunch of random places and times to do everything everyone's always wanted to. This felt real and that's why it was great. Scientists responsible and intelligent enough to know how to make one of these machines would theoretically also be intelligent and respsonsible enough to know what to change, how big of a change to make and how.

This movie made me never want to time travel and it's seriously ****ing awesome. This is exactly what I mean when I say that you don't need an enormous budget or any cg bullshit to make a fantasy movie and that no matter how little action there is, a solid screenplay with convincing performances and very natural dialogue is so hard to come by. This movie did it for me.

Man, I totally recommend this movie for anyone with an attention span. ( i know why thundercat didn't like it halfway through, cause some people just don't have the love for this kind of stuff-he liked dark knight strikes again better than long halloween and i did the inverse, so it's just not his flava, understood :) ) i for one loved it.

man. so good. high five bigwhiteryan.

I don't remember ever saying DK:SA is better than Long Halloween. I just said I liked it more than most people will admit to, and that Long Halloween is boring. I liked both books, generally I'll like any Batman related story.

i think it's somewhere in the old threads. just sayin you and i have very different opinions 99% of the time...let's see...um...what do you think of the daredevil movie?

[kramertron]

If you really love the movie, I recommend you watch it again with the director Shane Carruth's commentary. He doesn't go too in depth about the time travel aspect, but he gives great insight into how he made the whole thing on a shoe string budget.

This is one of my favorite movies, the focus on the characters more than the actual time travel and the semi-believable way that the time travel was presented. Man this just makes me want to watch it again tonight :D

Check, I rubbed it in peoples faces that they were dumbasses for not liking it, haha.

Kidding aside (not really), I did like the human dilemma of it, like Brian said. One of my favorite movies, that I try to spread to everyone.

*Ding*

Daredevil is a peice of shit, but I like most Affleck movies. Here's something to wrap your head around though, I liked The Hulk.

[bcool]

that timline is even more confusing than the movie.:(

[kevmann16]

I seen this timeline on Digg i think, and I was planning to rewatching the film with the timeline handy but haven't got round to it yet mainly because like bcool says the timeline looks as confusing but it most likely makes more sense as you watch along.

I loved primer it was an awesome movie I watched it a couple of times and think I get most of it the timeline should clear the last off it up. Like I said in the last primer thread after the first time I watched it I went online to hunt down clues to the bits I didn't get, it felt like I was a detective or something it really added to the experiance of seeing the film, felt like I was a part of it.

It's called the Wii, it's shaftlike, and people say it's "sensitive". Porn on this thing had to happen.
