In the movie Primer, what I noticed most was the way the film was shot. In a lot of scenes, we would be looking at the people through a window or a door frame, or something which gives the viewer a feeling like their actions are staged. This makes more sense later in the movie when the two guys try to make things right by redoing their actions using an audio track.
Also, in the beginning of the movie I noticed that when they talked, they often overlapped each other, and I thought this was an interesting parallel to time travel and how each time is overlapped with the other.
In the end though, I thought it was horrible how they got rid of a version of themselves so they could try to right things only to make it worse, and how one guy stayed to keep fixing things and the other left. I wonder which is worse...continuously watching and altering your own future thus affecting everyone around you, or going somewhere else to affect the future while letting your already ruined future continue by itself.
Also, I'm not sure why they built the machine in the first place if they didn't know what the results would be.
