Primer

Aaron and Abe engineer a powerful machine that seems to create alternate realities through time travel. What was most interesting about this film was its realistic portrayal of the possibilities of time travel. In this way, this science fiction film offers the idea of time travel with greater believability. The elements of the film, such as the setting and the characters, are familiar portrayals. We see Aaron and Abe working in Aaron's garage, and both seem to be normal, down-to-earth men who are intrigued by their research and inventions. However, despite their scientific intelligence, both Aaron and Abe seem to lack ethics and quickly fail to fully understand the consequences of their invention. We see them sacrifice hours in the process of time travel, mainly to get their hands in the stock market, and this materialistic greed soon overshadows their relationship with each other and with those around them.
