Primer (It's fairly new but didn't get the justice it deserved)

To be fair, Primer doesn't really have mainstream appeal, about as much as π

You think?

I feel like it has a much larger potential following than it actually does though.

I feel I'm more likely to have a conversation with someone who says they like scifi/time travel but hasn't heard of Primer than I am to talk to someone who has actually seen Primer.

Far too often i hear people say “i watch movies to escape, not think.”

Primer is one if my all time fav scifi flics. I have watched it maybe a dozen times. I have to literally pause the movie every time and think “what the fuck is going on again at this point?“

It is a deeply complex plot which does nothing to try and help the audience. You have to sink or swim. I don’t think it would fly… a lot of people would leave wishing they had 75 minutes back because “it was stupid and didn’t make any sense.”

To this day i am convinced Christopher Nolan attempted to make a commercially successful version of this (Tenet) with questionable results. I thought it was alright, but was… messy.
