Primer (4.6/10)

This 2004 Sci-Fi/Thriller has strong critical acclaim, but I found it painfully dull. It was overloaded with technical jargon and endless dialogue, making it a slog to get through. I honestly don’t understand how it has an audience score of 79%. Even the way it was filmed gave it the look and feel of a 90s low-budget project. The ending boosted the score a ton, they did well there. "Intellectual engineers Aaron (Shane Carruth) and Abe (David Sullivan) build and sell error-checking technology with the help of their friends Robert (Casey Gooden) and Phillip (Anand Upadhyaya). But when Aaron and Abe accidentally invent what they think is a time machine, Abe builds a version capable of transporting a human and puts the device to the test. As the two friends obsess over their creation, they discover the dark consequences of their actions."
