It's B-Grade scifi at best. I'd put it a little below Sliders and Seaquest DSV. And it's not even B-grade to the point where it makes fun of itself, like Xena. Just sorta bad tv, let alone scifi.
I'm glad someone else in the world has seen Primer. Realistic sci-fi (without aliens symbiote worms, portals, and Richard Dean Anderson) is how it should be done. Let us feel connected with a familiar world, THEN throw in the crazy scifi stuff.
A science fiction world, in my opinion, can be as ludicrous as it wants to be as long as it provides 1) a decent explanation or 2) solid, likeable characters. If the writers can manage to do both, then I say go crazy.
Also, MacGyver.
My inner nerd will forgive you, though, because you like Primer. :) I gave the movie to my family and they fell asleep halfway through. These are sad times.
