Jessy C @Yuneth Jan 8 Primer is an interesting film with a strong concept, and I appreciate how the director presents the story in a grounded, low-budget way. However, the film lacks the qualities needed to fully engage the audience. It relies heavily on technical jargon, much of which is not explained, making it difficult to follow unless the viewer has a strong background in science. While it is a science-fiction film, the balance between fiction and science is not handled well—the scientific rules of the fictional concept are never clearly established and must be inferred entirely through dense conversations between the two main characters. The story feel emotionally distant and, at times, unrealistic. Because of this, the film lacks suspense and rarely puts the audience on edge or drives curiosity about what will happen next. Overall, Primer is intellectually ambitious but emotionally detached. It is more of a puzzle for analytical viewers than an engaging cinematic experience for a general audience. See more Prabhu H Sep 20 Had to stop halfway through. Unpolished dialogues mumbled throughout by all making it difficult to understand what the heck they are talking about. Movie made in 2004, yet looks like the entire production time travelled to the 70s by the looks of it. Looks like they used a camcorder with props, clothes and everything else bought from a thrift store. Worth a skip ...

The science feels like it was cribbed from a C+ science fair project, and the dialogue is like watching 11th graders act out a fantasy of what smart people sound like. If you’re into cardboard pacing, mumbled jargon, and zero emotional stakes, buckle up. Everyone else—go rewatch The Langoliers and enjoy actual cosmic dread. Normally on RT I align with audience scores (popcornometer). This time I don’t. And I can’t even imagine why this has a 79% 🍿rating. 🤷🏼‍♂️ If you asked me without looking, I’d guess it had a 13% 🍿 See more Dan P Jun 17 The only way is would use the word “cerebral” to describe this smug, waxing poetic, existential melodrama, is that its head is buried so far up its own ass it reached its brain. See more Mikael H @Mikael590 Jun 13 I’m sure I would like it a heck of a lot more if I could understand how it all worked See more Sayan B May 26 I love everything about this Movie. Two accidental Time Travellers : Engineers Aaron and Abe accidentally invent a time-travel "box" that sends objects minutes into the past or future. Human-Sized Duplication: They scale up the device, creating larger boxes and using them to duplicate themselves as "fail-safes" for experiments. Fractured Trust & Paradoxes: Exploiting time travel for profit, their trust erodes as paradoxes emerge from multiple versions of themselves interfering with events. Escalating Temporal Chaos: The timeline becomes a mess of duplicates and confrontations as Aaron manipulates past events, leading to a crucial "failsafe" intervention. Divergent Paths: Aaron, aiming to control events and correct mistakes, builds a new, advanced machine and leaves, while Abe is left to deal with the chaotic aftermath. I loved this film 📽️ ❤️ See more Read all reviews
