I just watched the best movie ever made. It is definitely not for everyone, as it makes little effort to dumb down the more complex science aspects.
It is a time travel movie, but it was written to be a time travel movie, not a romance movie (with time travel) like Déjà Vu, or a teen adventure/comedy (with time travel) like Back To The Future.
It's called Primer and it is the brainchild of one man, Shane Carruth. He is the writer, director and producer of the movie. He also plays the lead role, Aaron, an engineer working on designing a high-temperature superconductor that happens to create a temporal loop that can exploited as a time travel machine.
If possible, watch it more than once. If not, prepare to be confused, especially by the last 30 minutes.
I implore of you, watch it: Primer at Google Video
P.S.: For the more scientifically-minded among you, remember that Primer is a movie. It is intended to be an original art piece, and in that respect it succeeds. We all know that time travel isn't possible.
P.P.S.: For the more... loony... among you, remember that the scientifically-minded also amongst us are all just envious because you can see through the veil of reality. We all know that time travel is possible.
