If you gave some Australian college students a camera, a budget of $50, told them to watch "Timecrimes" and "Primer", this is what you would get.
The acting is god awful. So bad, that you have to question if this is a movie about time travel, or a movie about a mental asylum patient who thinks he's time traveling. The non-stop overly exaggerated facial expressions, bug eyes and squinting make it hard to know for sure.
The decision making capabilities of the main character are highly in question. For example, he wants to get into "Room 41" of a local motel. Instead of asking for this specific room (which we know is vacant and was rented out to someone as early as the day before), he takes room 11, then breaks into this room. Why?Suspense > logic.
Then, he wants to save his ex-girlfriend (who is way out of his league) by preventing the car accident he causes. Slash his own tires? Warn himself? No! Run as fast as you can to the street where the accident was, then jump in front of the car flailing your arms. Oh no, that's what (you guessed it) caused the accident in the first place! Who could have seen that coming?
If you want to waste your time, this is a wonderful movie.
