how does this movie stack up to real science?

Good science movies /sci/?

Any of you nerds smart enough to have understood this movie?

What did you think of this ?

primer, good movie, great movie, or just overly complex piece of shit. I saw it when it first came out (I was like 13) and had no idea what was going on obviously. I just watched it again over the weekend and read a proposed timeline for the movie. After reading the timeline it made a lot more sense, and I kinda liked the movie. The actings shit, but I like the fact that time travel is just kinda discovered by these two tinkerers, and they have more a realistic/engineering approach to dealing with the discover (inb4 ya, they buttfuck like engineers, that meme is old)

so /sci/, have you seen primer? what do you think?

Any interesting intelliflicks/mindfuck vids that anyone can recommend to me?

Watching the film "Primer" atm.

Why put a machine inside the time travelling device which starts up the machine, waits in a corner, checks stocks, gets in, waits for set time, gets out, buys stocks?

Instead of using a human.

Why does this movie have such a reputation of being difficult and confusing? It's simpler than high school philosophy.

>Sunshine - Best Science fiction movie ever made.
Oh dear god no. Just fucking no. That movie is fucking horrible

Go watch Primer. Seriously.

ITT: We discuss which theory of time travel is the correct one.

Personally I like to speculate that time travel is relative to the observer, so if you were to go back in time you would always seem to be the first person to have ever done so. This can only really happen in a multiverse universe where paradoxes are allowed. That means if you created a paradox by killing your father or something it wouldn't matter because you already exist. Of course this would mean when you go back to the present you would cease to exist and so would your entire history. Makes you think if all the time travellers in the future are lost in alternate realities somewhere unable to go back to their original timeline because they changed it by accident. To ensure that you did you would need another device, far more important than a time machine, a dimension hopper.

Primer used this idea of time travel but without the dimension hopper so they were always trapped in the alternate reality. One thing that's hard to grasp in that film is that for everyone who is not a time traveller what happens is that they go in the box and then just disappear, everything that happens "after" is in a different reality.

I find this idea covers all the problems created by more "traditional" views of time travel, such as paradoxes and why we have never seen any time travellers.

Thoughts?

I forgive this movie

Did anyone here see this movie? It's fucking awesome. Normally, movies that involve science make me fucking rage because of Hollywood bullshittery, but this movie doges all the technical details and plays nicely with the whole time paradox theme. If you haven't seen it, I would advise you to download it the fuck now.
