About

For the third in our Time Travel series, we present two strangely similar films that were made at opposite ends of the budget spectrum, and had opposite fates at the box office! First up - Shane Carruth's five-thousand-dollar indie smash Primer, an incredibly complex thriller that won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance and invigorated young filmmakers everywhere - followed by Christopher Nolan's equally (pointlessly?) complicated Tenet, which studios hoped would save theaters, but instead might have been the last nail in the coffin for the theater experience!
