Primer

Engineers Aaron, Abe, Robert and Phillip are working on an invention, the prototype being built in Aaron's garage. This project is beyond their day jo...bs. The project truly does belong to Aaron and Abe, as they use all their free time working on it, primarily trying to overcome the many engineering related problems they've encountered. It is during one of his tests with the invention running that Abe discovers that a protein inside the main unit has multiplied much more rapidly than it could in nature. Rather than the invention being a protein super incubator, Abe, using himself as a guinea pig, and a very meticulous one at that, discovers that the invention can be used as a time machine. In his self experiment, Abe was especially careful not to interfere with his own self in that time warp. Abe passes along this discovery to Aaron, who he expects will tell his wife Kara in what is the sanctity of their marriage, but he doesn't want to tell either Robert or Phillip. Much to Abe's surprise, Aaron does not want to tell Kara, it being a sole intellectual property of just the two of them, in the process moving the base of operation to a locked storage unit. Aaron's plan for the two of them is to use the invention to win big in the stock market by knowing through the time travel what has happened in the market. With two thoughts on the matter now instead of just one, Aaron and Abe may hit some logistical and philosophical roadblocks in how to move forward. Show More

Primer (2004) is a thought-provoking science fiction film that follows the story of four engineers, Aaron, Abe, Robert, and Phillip, as they work on a secretive invention in Aaron's garage. This project consumes all their free time as they struggle to overcome numerous engineering challenges. When conducting tests on the invention, Abe makes a shocking discovery that a protein within the machine has multiplied at an unprecedented rate. Intrigued by this unexpected phenomenon, Abe decides to experiment on himself.

As Abe delves deeper into his self-experimentation, he realizes that the invention has the power to manipulate time. This realization leads Aaron and Abe on a mind-bending journey as they use their invention to navigate through various temporal loops and alter events from the past. As they continue to experiment with time travel, the consequences of their actions become increasingly complex and convoluted.

Primer is a highly cerebral and intricate film that explores themes of ethics, consequences, and the nature of time. It challenges viewers to think critically about cause and effect, as well as the potential dangers and moral implications of time manipulation. The film's complex narrative structure and non-linear storytelling provide a unique viewing experience that will leave audiences pondering the intricacies of time long after the credits roll.

Primer is a must-watch for fans of intelligent and thought-provoking science fiction, offering an engaging and intellectually stimulating exploration of time travel and its consequences.
