Primer (2004) Movie Review

30 August 2009 10:58 AM, PDT | SciFiCool.com | See recent SciFiCool.com news »

“Primer” is a raw, low-budget take on that staple of filmed sci-fi, the time travel tale.

The premise: Billy Pilgrim has gone crazy from failing to grapple with the horror he experienced during World War II many, many years before. Unmoored from sanity, the haunted optometrist convinces himself he’s been abducted by aliens who believe that time is eternally present, that past and future are happening in the now -- Cubism made real.
