Movie Review: Primer

Is the pasta ready yet?

I first read about this movie here, and when I discovered that my local pirate had a copy in stock - I promptly bought it, drove home and watched it immediately. Some movies are like textbooks. You have to watch them a couple of times to really understand the heavy shite. And trust me, this movie is fucking plumbum when it comes to being heavy.

Sypnosis:
guys tinker in garage
guys invent some kind of time-machine
guys fuck with time
things get really weird

Primer is an indie movie that doesnt need any special effects to tell its tale. And the tale is a complicated one. I had to go here and here and here to understand confirm what the hell was going on. There are actually 3 timelines happening all at once and you have to watch out for clues. It’s a lot like that other mindfuck movie, Momento but a lot cleverer.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars.

hmm better than Butterfly Effect?

I love complicated time travelling movies because stories like that have to be complicated or else they won’t make sense. I wonder if it’ll be showing here in Singapore.

i watched it too and it was a bloody waste of 2 hours at first…

gah…

got a fucking headache out of it.

ruok > butterfly effect is a ant compared to his giant of a movie

zenith > I dont think it will come. Better go buy the dvd

minishorts > your bf bought it right. This is a guy movie.

no. i bought it more than he bought it. he called it a bloody waste of time. i said i want to watch it again.

whee…

oh yeah. RM 8 bucks for the DVD 9 with special features and all. quite a steal. how much do you get them for over there?

wey! I like butterfly effect. Is it suitable for under 16 people?! :D
