10 Pint Movies: TIME SHIT

Primer (2004)

Plot:   Fuck knows. Time travel really screws you up
A couple of engineers working for "the man", decide to invent something & make some real cash, Aaron (Shane Carruth) & Abe (David Sullivan) work on a machine to make things weigh less than they should. The machine seems to work however the field it creates disrupts time around the object as well as mass. In a very small amount of time & experimentation, considering the immenseness of their discovery, it is transformed into a working time machine. Time waits for no man I guess.

As its on a budget of $7k this time machine is no TARDIS or DeLorean its a box, crawl in it one end come out in the past at the other.

I think it works like so. (Rules there's always rules)....

Set the machine running for a given length of time
Leave the building so as not to bump into your self
At that point the future you will exit the machine.
Go off & study some shit to take back in time & earn big ££££££
Go back to the machine & get in it to go back in time
So during the time when the machine is running you will be both learning the stuff to make you rich & putting it into practice as 2 separate people in 2 separate places & I guess a third you will also be in the machine going backwards.

Or something like that (Who the fuck am I Anne Frank I don't know)
Like any good film the rules are always broken.

The power of time travel corrupts its participants with paranoia hidden agendas, unforeseen doppelgangers, occasionally falling in a fucked up comatosed state, back up plans, back up thwarting back up plans & back up back up thwarting back up, plans all very confusing but you know their gonna make fuck all money from this no one ever does, dildos.

Is it good: Yes, For $7,000 they made a great movie. Won awards & shit (The sundance one), that means fuck all really, but it is a well constructed, even though it is fuck hard to follow. A paranoid thriller caused by a great sci fi theme & a decent ending.

Turdige: The low budget does show, not enough to spoil the movie but if you don't like the bottom end (no special effect kind of Sci Fi) give it a miss, but then your a idiot so who cares. The could be seen as a slightly confusing monotone talky kind of Sci fi.

Overall: The consequences of time travel have been well documented The Terminator, Back to the future I to III, star trek on many occasions especially the new one, and especially Bill & ted have all suffered due to fucking around with time. This is more on the lines of Timecrimes (2007) an equally good fucked up low budged time buggerer.
