Paused after one hour:
Primer is one of the most humble films I've ever seen. Like its internal premise, the film itself looks to be nothing but the garage project of a few friends. But amazingly it has kept me engaged the entire way.
Finish:
I don't think that there is any great cinematic sense or artistry or talent behind this movie-- what it has is a very basic intelligence, and somehow it works out. This movie is alright, and somehow that was enough. The lack of funding and professionalism shows occasionally, making this a flawed and modest film, but the premise (and for me, the scientific dialogue) carries it through. I didn't find it anywhere near as overloaded with technical language as reviews indicated. I thought it was simple and easy-- an uncommonly easy movie experience for a hyperselective consumer of experience like myself.
