This is a curious little indy movie I just saw yesterday, really wild. Budget was only $7000, and it's not even 80 minutes long, but it takes this very scientific approach to time travel, maybe more so than any other movie made about time travel before, and it's a real mindfuck. Anyone else see it? It's definitely a film that warrants at least one repeat viewing.

In fact, for anyone else who's seen it, even after the 2nd viewing, here's something I can't quite understand...

Spoiler: show
The overall point to the Aaron character's longest and repeated travel back in time (that we don't find out about until almost the end) I thought seems to be to get the event "right" of the party where Rachel is threatened by her ex-bf that brings a shotgun to the party, but I don't get what he needs to fix, I mean the "first time" when we hear about the party and what went down, it's not like Rachel gets killed the guy and that's what Aaron is trying to go back and prevent from happening.

its a cool movie. there are some sites around that try to explain what happened, but even then its very hard to grasp.

i should watch it again. i think its meant to be watched a few times.
