This low budget movie will amaze you. Shane Carruth, who directed, starred, scripted, produced, edited, scored, and helped shoot this movie, did it all with $7,000!
Four young men have started a business in a garage making error-checking devices. Two of them accidentally create a time travel machine and decide not the share this discovery with the other two partners. They figure out how to send themselves backward and forward in time, but run into trouble when they stop trusting each other. They face a few other problems: running into themselves when they are in a different time line, figuring out who is the real them, and the problem of natural degradation if they are a copy of a copy of a copy. They also have to find their answer to the question "If you always want what you can't have, what do you want when you can have anything?"
Yes, there is so much coming and going that it can get confusing. But I was so fascinated by this film that I actually went online to find maps and charts of their coming and going. It is intricate!
If you enjoy puzzles and figuring things out, this is the movie for you!
