Slant's 100 Best Sci-Fi Movies of All Time (100 movies items)

"Shane Carruth’s low-budget Primer is a marvel of plotting, a neatly enfolded set of turns and reversals based in cinema’s most internally consistent theory of the cascading paradoxes of time travel. Aaron (Carruth) and Abe (David Sullivan), two small-time engineers, accidentally invent a device that loops time. When the device is activated, it effectively becomes a portal to the moment in time it was switched on, as long as the prospective traveler waits for an entire cycle. Soon, both of th"

Primer is a 2004 film written, directed, produced and acted by Shane Carruth. Tells the story of Four men work in a garage building highly complex appliances. Part by accident and part by design, they discover a mechanism with powers that allows them to get practically everything they want: A Time Travel Machine.
