A Life Most Ordinary

Primer (2004)

The parts of the movie I understood were really great. As an engineer, the work at the beginning and some of the nerd speak was particulairly interesting. But some of the movie was REALLY confusing. I had no idea what the hell was going on, when it was, where it was, who it was....this movie definitely forced you to ask the 5 W's every ten seconds or so. There are some points where you feel like it might be best to turn it off and give your brain a break. However, the movie maintains an incredible watchability throughout. Typical "indie" camera work and film quality make you feel like you are watching something being created in front of you...also mirrors the lives of people who's passions and interests lie outside of their job as they struggle to balance the time of pursuing their ideas and getting paid.
