It's mostly an exercise in your patience, but if you like David Lynch, Kubrick or Dario Argento then you'll enjoy it.
The best advice would be to not expect anything from it, and take the ride -- and experience it while mentally impaired. The main performance by the male actor was one the creepiest(and funny) things I've seen in a long time.
My wife hated it.

Thats cool - movies don't have to be action packed or fast to be enjoyable. (Blue Velvet, Fire Walk with me, Solaris (Steven Soderbergh version), Primer, etc are some of my favourites). I will check it out for sure then. thanks for the recommendation!

I'm going to check out Primer simply for the fact that people here seem to like it and it was made for less than $10,000.

It's good, but its hard to watch because it's slow moving and low budget ("Noisy picture in low light, bad sound in one point, but thats it). Plus you have to pay really close attention to the dialog and what is going on. The ending will make you go Huh? But there are clues throughout to help. After I watched it the first time I immediately watched it again before I got it.

several borderline sci-fi movies were mentioned so if you don't mind that it is not exactly sci fi you could watch The Machinist (this one is great,Christian bale is starring),eXistenZ ,Sphere,The Thirteenth Floor,scanner darkly,moon... not all that good but I like watching these kind of movies.
oh,another one that is really good is Gattaca. Really beautiful movie,one of hidden gems!

Yes! I forgot about The Machinist. It's excellent too. (Slow, quiet, and totally creepy. Bale is insane). MOON is also good. I didn't like eXistenZ at all though. Boring, couldn't get into it. Sphere is a good book, but so-so movie. I forget how it ended but I remember not liking the ending either. Didn't see the rest.

Moon and Source Code.

I liked source code. I thought it was a good movie and good direction. The female lead is cute as hell. The only guy I didn't like was the doctor / scientist guy. Terrible actor in my opinion.
