Primer
2004
 
Quite by accident, an engineer builds a machine that can transport the user back in time. But his discovery comes with an ominous caveat: At the heart of this puzzling device, nothing is as it seems on the surface. David Sullivan and Shane Carruth co-star in this Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize winner, a film whose inventive narrative blends a patchwork story line with overlapping streams of dialogue that help build tension and suspense.

Very good movie, even if I still don't quite understand it. Presents mystery well, as something complicated, not just something with no explanation. The geekiness of the characters was portrayed very well; these are not screenlit-face hackers.

Starts off very dry and boring, then kicks off about halfway through. The actors are unknown, which adds a documentary-like feel and almost makes the story seem true.
 
Full of incomprehensible technobabble, which totally destroys any appeal this movie might have had. The acting is also a bit weak and the script is just plain boring.
