I highly recommend this movie to everyone.
It was made by one guy on a $7,000 budget (that's not a typo), and really goes to show that you don't need a shitload of money to make a great film.
The premise of the movie is that some guys accidentally invent a time machine, and now have to deal with the deep complexity of time travel. Besides time travel part the movie is very very down to earth and realistic, no crazy quantum zeno intopulator drives or flashy cg graphics. Hands down best time travel movie i have ever seen.

Best of all you can watch the movie for free on google video.

I watched and I didn't get a fucking single part of it, I found my self rewinding and rewinding just to grasp some concepts.

God, good thing I didn't watch this high.

The guy who wrote it said he purposely made it hard to follow to convey the confusion that the characters were going through.

If your interested here is a full time line of the movie, Its even more complex then it first seems.

I tried to get into this movie last night, and lost interest. I'll try again later this week.

Im glad that the director didn't water down the film so everyone would understand it. I didn't understand the majority of the movie but it was really awesome.
