In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Primer (2004)
A science fiction drama by Shane Carruth.
A pair of scientists invent a time machine and use it. They end up getting into arguments about how the machine will be/is/was used and what it is going to do/does/did to their lives.
The film starts out with young men in suits discussing complex mathematical and scientific ideas. Eventually this becomes minimized when they discuss usage of the time machine, rather than theory and functionality. The plot gets a little convoluted and difficult to follow. The style is pretty good and the production value is decent. I'm rating this adequate.
