The Fountain is more approachable for sure. A mind bender, but it is still a Hollywood movie.

Primer is pure mind fuck 😂 For the first bit it is very sterile, boring almost. But when it starts going it's really good.

If you watch either one though, you will be left with questions once it ends. My favorite kind of movie.

Had a feeling primer, on that budget, had to be more purely writing driven and prolly harder watch.

Made me think of that low budget movie where someone has dinner party and one guest jumps into parallel version of themselves... can't recall

Oh, you ever watch Devs? Been a while but was kind of a sleeper show

Sounds interesting, I'll have to check it out. On the list it goes...

Primers cinematography is fine. There are no special effects really. You are correct though, the story is where it shines. The dialogue is great, and you'll be questioning what is happening the entire time, and afterwards. It's a good one to rewatch, I notice little things every time. So many little hints and secrets hidden in the movie that you would never realize on the first viewing.
