Transcript too long for lemmy, check Explain xkcd wiki to get one ;)
These charts show movie character interactions. The horizontal axis is time. The vertical grouping of the lines indicate which characters are together at a given time.
I’ve never seen “Primer”, but after seeing this chart I’m a bit scared…

Or not because the characters are so unlikeable that m sorting out the time loops makes you just wish the thing killed them the first time they got in.
“The movie doesn’t blatantly contradict itself” is not the selling point that a lit of people think it is.
I watched it once in a university cinema. They showed it twice to give people a chance to really understand it but most left, including me because it was so much beyond that a second watch couldn’t clear it up.
But yes, I watched it, AMA, but nothing about the movie
I have watched it twice.
I still have no idea if that timeline is close to correct or completely wrong. I still don’t get exactly what the end of the movie means. I highly suspect the movie’s story doesn’t end at the end of the movie, but I have no way to be certain. I still don’t know if a couple of people actually died.
Or, in other words, I only watched it twice. I have no idea what the story is.
it means Aaron is creating a giant time machine.
But were they all over the world already? Is the machine under construction or running for thousands of iterations?
See, that was your mistake because during the second viewing you from one week in the future would have walked in and explained the plot to you
The movie has a plot???
For one thing, it’s not linear.
Yeah, a couple of guys use time travel to try to get rich, but they completely fuck up their lives in the process
It’s kind of complex to follow through and they left out a lot of explaining so you have to use your brain. It’s a fun but not great movie. However it’s the only one with properly done time traveling logic and after watching it, you will see all other time traveling movies as a joke.
Any movie that forces an entire genre of fiction to measure up against it is a great movie.
It’s not as well shot as it could have been and acting could be better. So great in some aspect, yes. Not so much in others. But it’s well worth the watch definitely.
Watch it…it’s not scary or anything, just really hard to keep track of all the time jumping. Interesting concept though…
I haven’t either but I’ve heard is a really decent time travel movie
I don’t think the chart is accurate
If anything, the chart is simplified.
