Primer is undoubtedly the most complex time travel movie ever made. The movie has a brilliant concept and the screenplay is good, but the narrative confuses the viewers. 
For those who watched the movie and did not understand how the time loop works, here goes a brief description. DON'T WORRY, NO SPOILERS :
1) Machine is activated say at 12:00pm and is set for say 6 hrs.
2) Person who activated the machine sets a 15 min timer so that he can avoid an encounter with his double.
3) The person isolates himself for 6 hrs and keeps track of stock market to know which to buy later.
4) After 6 hrs, his double comes out of the machine at 12:00pm in a parallel timeline and buys the right stock.
Shane Carruth has done a marvellous job in scripting this time travel concept. The editing and narration required more precision since such concepts require a possibly clear narrative. This movie is a must watch for its content and the innovative time travel concept.
My Rating : 3.5/5
