Primer

I have just seen a film called Primer. Prepare to have to think, and think hard.

Touted as ‘Donnie Darko for grownups’ this film really hits the mark and is in the same kind of family as Pi and Cube. Two techie geeks who work for big firms through the day spend their time tinkering in their garages. The current project, using magnetic fields to block gravity so as to reduce the wieght of an object, turns into something else entirely. Not a special effects extravaganza, this film is primarily about ideas. And what ideas they are. The pacing is excellent and kept me hooked for the entire 1hr 20min mindbender. I dreamed about it last night and that doesn’t happen often. It obviously got into my subconcious and started pulling strings. Really worth watching…
…more than once.
