Friends and fledgling entrepreneurs invent a device in their garage which reduces the apparent mass of any object placed inside it, but they discover that it has some highly unexpected capabilities - ones that could enable them to do and to have seemingly anything they want.

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Pluskylang Great Film overall
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
karend1970 This film is very much like a found footage, fly on the wall documentary. The characters are scientist/engineers/inventors, they are being themselves, not distracting from the story, all they are interested in is making discoveries, making money, learning. The story is about their invention and how it has an affect on them, not their social life or romance.
lallolu I find it very difficult to follow this film. Normally, I pride myself as someone who is attentive and easily understand films.
skywalker-60-692510 The sound is awful, the flawed story is a pain in the a** to follow, the main characters are not relatable, the side characters are nearly irrelevant and act weird and all the potential to build up some tension and thrill is not made use of. Yeah, you could call this "unconventional", but it is more unconventional in the sense that an art teacher would use to describe a flawed picture without wanting to hurt someone. But I would love to see this movie again with the Mystere Science Theater 3000 guys riffing the hell out of this one! Such a modern "cheesy movie" gem! It takes itself serious enough and is just a unique, weird movie experience with the lack of a good riff. Please make it happen!
gengar843 BOTTOM LINE FIRST: Very good time-paradox film, but not for everyone.THE GOOD: Looks better than the $9000 or so budget! Swift dialogue keeps you interested and packs a ton of information, even if ersatz. Regressive paradoxes are illuminated as having moral, ethical, and physical impact, facets not explored enough in other such films.THE SORTA BAD: Characters tend to one-dimensional, ironically, even with Woody Allen-esque home-setting plot devices. Many thin subplots essentially self-consciously placed to keep things "realistic." Resolutions of conflicts are sketchy or non-existent, and the final resolution lacks the emotional punch necessary to put the exclamation point on.ALL IN ALL: Talky drama will not appeal to everyone, and confusing story is somewhat frustrating, BUT it's original, pleasing enough to the eye, and you can't fault the filmmaker for his messages. NOTE: "Primer" has to do with being the top dog of the chain, the blockchain if you will.
