Am I missing something?

Just watched Primer, after months of having folks tell me it was an amazing mind-fuck, and avoiding all spoilers.

So, um, where was the mind-fuck? Seemed like a pretty straight-forward time travel story with multiple causality loops. Well done definitely, but I kept waiting for the big wowzer moment, and then the credits rolled. Ernh?

Seriously, did I miss something?

Edit: Yes, I loved it. :) Just wondering, seriously, if the DVD skipped a chapter or something. Not because it didn't make sense, but because it *did*. My one naggling question was Rachel's Dad. That seemed ambiguous.

(Watch it, if you haven't.)

I *loved* the look of it. Between the washed out lighting and the shirts and ties, it really felt like a mid-70s educational film. :D
