John, Adam, Olessia and I watched
title=”Primer”>Primer last night. Its only showing in Cleveland is
at Cedar Lee Theatre. It was just us in the threatre and right as the
movie started, 2 additional people came in. So we ALMOST had the
threatre to ourselves. We caught the 9pm show which worked out great
for everyone. The added plus was we were able to watch the eclipse of
the moon before and after the movie.

This movie was AWESOME. If you haven’t seen it yet and you plan to see
it, you might wish to skip over this. The Primer web site doesn’t go
into a lot of details about what the “box” is and does. So I’m sitting
in the movie and for some time I’m trying to figure out what this “box”
does. It was fun. Then it becomes clear and the movie explores the
paradox that is time travel. Like, what do you do if you go back? What
happens if you take your cell phone back and it rings? What do you do
with your double that’s living in another time? Does the universe fork
when the machine is started or stopped? The science was awesome.
Olessia identified and verified the fungus and bacteria discussions in
the movie were very accurate (its what she does at work!).

This was definitely a “thinking” movie. You’re left thinking during the
movie and then after the moving you’re thinking “what if?” which is
always a lot of fun. And to know this movie was produced with a budget
of $7000 is really amazing too!
