Primer (2004) - 77 min

Primer is an American independent science fiction film directed by Shane Carruth.
Starring Shane Carruth, David Sullivan & Casey Gooden.
Basic Plot: Aaron and Abe accidentally invent a machine that helps them to travel through time. They decide to make this opportunity for their own personal benefits.
Time Machine Working: The working principle is simple. First switch on the machine and you need to wait the exact amount of time outside the box that you want to travel back. After that you can go inside the box and you will effectively travel back in time.
The important things to remember: 
1) They made an extra time machine which is called as a 'Failsafe Machine'. If something goes wrong in the future, they need to return back before they even started thinking about time traveling idea.
2) Time traveling starts from the scene where Abe looks from a top roof.
3) The scene in which Aaron wears a headset and the scene Aaron discusses about the difficulty to write using his hands is also important.
4) Aaron attends the phone call of his wife at the hotel and outside the restaurant.
5) The name Thomas Granger and a night party incident also play an important role in the story.
First of all, I spent my 77 minutes without knowing what the hell is going on out there. It can be easily considered as one of the best confusing time traveler movie I have ever seen. The budget of the movie is $7000 and shot almost every scene in a particular location.  Overall, it's a fantastic movie to watch and one of the toughest science movie to get into.
Verdict: Great
