One of the more under-appreciated things about Primer is that the first half-hour-or-so really excellently portrays a raw engineering feeling. The disbelief, the checking and checking again. The "this must be wrong" feeling. I can't think of another attempt that I have seen that has quite captured it in the same way – other portrayals seem to feel inauthentic. Does anybody have any suggestions for things that explore this theme well?
