Timecrimes is made few years later, but I don't see how it is ripped from Primer, the story looks quite different - Primer is about doubles and fail safes and bring time machine from future to past itself so more engineer oriented, while Timecrimes it is plain hilarious dark comedy. The time machine storylines paradox was already in 1960's star trek TV episodes, how Primer invented anything? Even the popular movies Terminator and Back to The Future are from 1984-85 when primer actors was barely born.
