I watched it once in a university cinema. They showed it twice to give people a chance to really understand it but most left, including me because it was so much beyond that a second watch couldn't clear it up.

But yes, I watched it, AMA, but nothing about the movie

I have watched it twice.

I still have no idea if that timeline is close to correct or completely wrong. I still don't get exactly what the end of the movie means. I highly suspect the movie's story doesn't end at the end of the movie, but I have no way to be certain. I still don't know if a couple of people actually died.

Or, in other words, I only watched it twice. I have no idea what the story is.

I still don’t get exactly what the end of the movie means.

it means Aaron is creating a giant time machine.

But were they all over the world already? Is the machine under construction or running for thousands of iterations?

See, that was your mistake because during the second viewing you from one week in the future would have walked in and explained the plot to you

For one thing, it's not linear.

Yeah, a couple of guys use time travel to try to get rich, but they completely fuck up their lives in the process
