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.)

And now that I think about it, Rachel's dad had '2-3 days beard growth' when they saw him in the car... and the timer on the back-up box said 3 days and change at one point.
