The Legendary Movie: Primer.. how I remember it different ways..

 Hi

This is a weird one.. I don't know if there were different edits for different regions.. but more likely I either dreamt other versions or am misremembering/imaginations multiple times.. or both.

Version 1a

Everything is the same up until the mold.. which for quickness I'll call the 'mold junction'.

It takes Aaron and Abe ages to get funding.. up to 2 years. The storage unit happens as does them both going in and out.

This is pretty vanila from the last time I watched it. Aaron either betrays Abe or doesn't at the end.

Version 1.b

Mold junction. change is when they are at the funding party and Aaron's' wife suggests her father as an investor. Storage unit.

Unlike in 1a the couples vibe is a bit more stressed. She complains Aaron isn't looking after the children.

Her father thinks Aaron is cheating and begins stalking him..Aaron pulls over in the car and takes out a gun from the glove box.. a shadow falls over the back of the car he gets out and shoots his father in law thinking it is a doppelganger come to kill him. He dumps the body on his father in laws lawn.

We have a scene where he is wracked with guilt .. he keeps going in to a daze.. he talks to Abe about going back and fixing it.. Abe strongly advises against doing that.. Aaron agrees but this is a lie. Also he knows its only a short time before the police work everything out.

This is where Version 2 split happens..

but for 1b... Abe catches him before he stops his father in law and the two watch the events from a distance in another car Abe rented.

The movie ends with both of them catching a flight to Las Vegas planning to make millions. (after the party we learned that Abe had broken up with his then GF)

Version 2a

Version 2's are about time doppelgangers.. Aaron and Abe were bold enough to test a paradox. They decide to interact/kill their other younger selves. 

Abe chases Aaron's father in law away from the scene hoping he won't die this time.. a second Abe is chasing a second Aaron through back gardens.. Abe 2 comes around a corner and Aaron hits him with a shovel hoping to knock him out but instead kills him.

Aaron 2 goes home packs a bag and goes to the airport. sitting at the airport we see him before his boarding call and he gets on the flight. (we don't see that but an air stewardess checks his ticket.. she is blond and pretty) the movie ends with the airport noises getting louder and louder.

Version 2b

Aaron sees multiple Abes and him-selves around the car running past shouting. Abe covered in blood at the car and scares Aaron before he kills his father in law.

Version 2c

As 1b and 2a.. at the end though As 1b except Aarons wife leaves him due to all the fighting. The ending is; Aaron sitting alone at the airport.. and her coming to the airport and forgiving Aaron and taking him home. she lifts his brown leather bag and they kiss. (she doesn't';t know Aaron had killed her father)

Version 3 is about cheating..

Version 3a

mold junction. post party and storage unit. low tension between Aaron and his wife although Aaron wonders.. is it cheating if he goes back in time.. and there is no way she could prove it.

Aaron goes to a bar. picks up a woman. they go to a hotel room.

When he comes home, his wife is very kind and cares about him and was worried about him. Aaron goes in and hugs one the children, kisses them on the forehead and talks casually to them before bed.

Aaron later confesses this adultery to his wife and tells her about the time travel.. she is surprisingly chilled about it..

At work the next day Aaron tells Abe of these events. Abe is intrigued by the thought of this..Abe decides to try to tempt Aarons wife. after three failed attempts he goes back to the night of the party.. they begin an affair.

Version 4

Last and darkest timeline 

mold junction. storage unit.

The duo return to the storage unit after the lotto day. Abe is in the storage unit dead. seems he has been dead for three weeks.

The duo decide to investigate.. they also have a time machine.

We flick back to lotto day. The duo go to the storage unit and everything is normal. As the second duo is leaving the first duo see a third older duo taking a body loaded indian rug and take it into the building.

The duo go to Aaron's home. Aaron's wife makes them all food including the children.

The duo discuss the body. They discuss paradoxes.

The turn of events is very complicated to describe.. but the OG Abe had decided to kill all the other past doppelgangers after Aaron betrayed him.. he then died of natural causes in the storage unit. Which begins the cycle again.
