I've watched this movie several times and I pick up on new things almost every time.
Please, don't read the Wikipedia article before you go out and rent or buy this movie. The movie is absolutely fantastic. I have seen it 17 to 18 times, and even-though people have attempted to explain everything that is going on to me I still have a hard time wrapping my mind around it. Awesome for the hacker in you!

On a side note, my biggest annoyance with Wikipedia is manifest in articles about movies. For some reason, they allow an editorial policy of essentially writing out a scene by scene account of a movie.
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. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1187064/ If you're broke, it's available on Bittorrent (I am broke). Otherwise you won't regret your purchase.
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.
Another surprisingly good lower-budget/-attention sci-fi film is PANDORUM.

I'm ashamed to say I haven't seen this movie yet, I must order the DVD this weekend, (now that I've been reminded for the umpteenth time).
