Primer

Seven thousand dollars, that is how much they spent for the movie. Shane Carruth is the genius who has written, directed, produced, acted, edited the movie and composed the music. Primer (2004) is a psychological thriller about time travel. If you are expecting a Hollywood movie, this is not for you, but if you are looking for a nerd time travel universe and much more, that is your movie. If you don’t understand anything the first time you watch it, it is perfectly normal. Shane Carruth focused more on the complexity of time travel than the plot itself. Enjoy some incomprehensible words, and remember 7000 dollars.

Running Time: 77 minutes

The Good Dinosaur

The Good Dinosaur (2015) is a Pixar animated-movie, released by Walt Disney Pictures. The animated cartoon rewrites the story of how the asteroid that 65 million years ago crashed on Earth, causing the extinction of dinosaurs, missed completely the planet. The animated movie follows the story of one dinosaur, Arlo, becoming friend with a human (cave man), to find his family back. Graphically, it might be one of the most beautiful movies Pixar has made, but on the other hand  the story is weak and flat, sometimes even a little boring. I had the perception watching this movie that Pixar was dumping on the same story ideas over and over again. Visually beautiful, but a bit monotonous.

Running Time: 100 minutes

It is not the normal zombie series where the zombies try to eat and devour every living person.
