New indie-sci-fi movie won best movie at Sundance this year. I think its coming to the local art-theater, its about time travel, etc. Looks pretty cool.

I saw it. It's pretty cool. I was kinda hoping it would be better, but whatever.

I watched it twice and am still rather confused, but it was a pretty good flick.

Having watched this three times, I can only say that it is one of the best science fiction films ever made, one of the best truly independent films ever made, and one of my favorite thinking man's films. These guys really get the purpose of sci-fi, as their tagline--"what happens if it actually works?"--is one of the major conceits of the entire genre. It is quite confusing, but the confusion is an integral part of the plot and the paradoxes inherent to time travel. I really reccomend this to anyone, especially those of you who like to have your minds blown.

This is a great film, but you have to watch at least twice to get it (i think there were 3 versions of both of them interacting). Nothing like a little creative writing to show the big studios what movies should be like.

There's a great article on this that's part of the Onion's "New Cult Canon" series.
