Word In Stone-Primer Review

[tstone]

A remarkable indie film I saw referenced on IMDB. I LOVE what new, creative filmmakers can sometimes do in the science fiction/fantasy genre, though the have to deal with limited budgets and resources. This is a case in point.

We see a group of young engineers, obviously recent college grads. Rather than hitching their fortunes to a corporation, they decide to pool their talents and come up with the next Big Idea, something that will make them multi-millionaires in their twenties. So far, they've had limited success. But then, Aaron and Abe make an accidental discovery with one item they are toying with. They somehow have created a device that can "loop" time. Start it up, within a defined perimeter, time loops in on itself, allowing something within it's effect to step out of time, then step back in at an earlier point.

They build a bigger version and use a rental shed as the place to set it up. Initially, they use it to make stock investments back in time, with trends and results they viewed in the future. But each time they do that, they create divergent timelines, with "doubles" of themselves running around. They work to avoid their doubles, but after a point, especially when their doubles who are also using this time technology start messing around, things start spiralling out of control.

And they still haven't figured out yet how this machine actually works and what affect, if any, it's having on them.

Simple to produce, yet bogglingly complex in it's execution of implication, this amazing little movie only costs 7k to make, US. But it never looks cheap.

Check it out.

One of my favorite films. And you basically have to see it several times to actually 'get' what's going on because it doesn't slow down to explain it to you.

No, it doesn't. That first time through can get pretty confusing.

Now, as to this primer...

Is it alkyd based? Or latex acrylic? Does it contain ethanol?

None of the above...
