Triangle was ok, but it has another feel to the movie. It's a bit of a horror with some mystical explanation to it.
But Primer is pure mind-bending sci-fi. You could feel the atmosphere of the guys inventing something like few other movies.
Actually - this is how I think a startup should feel and look like: the way the movie portrays it at the beginning, while the guys are still figuring things out.
If you like films like Primer you will like Triangle. I clearly want to watch it again to understand every time loop. Plus there's Melissa George in the lead role, which doesn't hurt.

If you're broke, it's available on Bittorrent (I am broke). Otherwise you won't regret your purchase.

- *Run Lola Run (1998)* - Fun with lots of details on rewatches.
- *The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2006)* - Highly acclaimed anime adaptation.
- *Timecrimes (2007)* - Classic, intense, and worth watching.

Seconding Coherence. One of the greatest movies I've ever watched. Primer(2004) and Triangle(2009) are often recommended with it, and rightfully so.
Agreed. TRIANGLE was a pleasant surprise --far better than the average for that genre-- but not 'hard' sci-fi.
Another surprisingly good lower-budget/-attention sci-fi film is PANDORUM.
