Title: Sturgeon's Revelation
Product review: Back in the 1950's, sci-fi writer Theodore Sturgeon said that 90% of science fiction is crud. This movie belongs with the 90%. The screenplay of the movie The Big Sleep was written by William Faulkner. He admitted later that even he didn't know who committed one of the murders. That ignorance didn't detract from The Big Sleep being one of the film noir classics. But the writer, director, Jack-of-all-trades, master of none who put out Primer obviously doesn't have any better of idea of what was happening in his movie than most of his audience did.For certain audiences, the inability to understand a movie is an indicator that it is a great movie. I suppose that's possible, but it is far more likely that the movie is crud, not worth the 78 minutes it would take to watch it. Primer is not worth watching.
