I have just watched the film and i am still none the wiser of what the hell was really going on to be honest.
I know people will probably say i am thick, but it was just a bit deep for me.
I watched triangle about 4 times as i really found it hard to understand, I did understand most of it, but this one was really weird.
Just wondering if people could just explain the story a bit better to me
The only explanation I can come up with is that the Aurora Borealus (which incidentally bears a strking resemblance to the name of the snake figure drawn on the wall) was what caused the time loop. I only say this because it's what happened in Stephen Kings Langoliers, well not a time loop of course, but in that movie it did screw with time. So I just assumed that was what they were going for with it.
By the way, I am right behind you.
Most people who saw this were left scratching their heads! It got mostly negative reviews for a time travel flick.

The Ouroboros is the movie trying to explain itself for the viewer. The simplest explanation of it is that the snake is eating itself because its dying, it is dying because it is eating itself. The snake was born because it spawned itself. No it does not make sense really but that was what made it a mythical creature. The snake is dying because it is trying to survive. The group tried to protect themselves because they found their bodies, in order to do this they locked up Micheal causing him to believe himself about them wanting to kill him. He believes himself therefore he goes off to kill them. More simply, they died because they tried to stop it. They found their bodies because they were dead, they died because they found their bodies. This is a causality loop, the effect becomes the cause.
shareCorrect, but there are many parts of the story that make zero sense even with that explanation. The biggest ones being, everything dealing with Rose, the end, and why Lyla didn't watch Michael at all times. They do set up that they are near the end of their relationship. Honestly, no one seemed like they liked each other. Locking your mentally stable friend that used to be unstable in a room over what they might do is *beep* Not only does it make the person think they are crazy you can't be sure of their activities. Basically, they were a bunch of really horrible people that valued debauchery, deception, apathy, and ignorance over anything else. The two that weren't this, Micheal became all of those and a murderer. Rose, in any other story would be the final girl. She dies in bed from poisoning while having pre/post-conigtive visions. She was the only one that knew what was happening but she was too overwhelmed by having tons of *beep* things happen to her one after another. Her "friends" are too self-absorbed to get her help. Back to your explanation, that is what they were going for. Its just that for the analogy to coincide with Lyla meeting Lyla the world or even galaxy would need end. They didn't address that ending the loop kills the snake or that letting it continue will also kill it. So....what is considered part of the snake?

It was a LOT better than I expected it to be, I just didn't care about any of the characters. I just assumed they were in limbo, no explanation as to why, but it would explain why they are living the same thing over and over and constantly being in terror.
shareThat's what I thought too, I think even at one point Guy said that they were in Hell, and I was like "OH OKAY," and then that kinda didn't lead to anything after that. Limbo, purgatory, some kind of parallel universe is what I thought they existed in, and it could very well be where they were. Who knows.
The only two things I had huge issues with were with the NOTE - did GUY not realize that he was writing the same exact note that they had found earlier? Shouldn't this have caused him to think "HEY MAYBE I SHOULD WRITE A NOTE SAYING 'LEAVE IMMEDIATELY ITS NOT SAFE, GO BACK HOME' SO THAT THEY BREAK THE CYCLE" or something?? I know it was a chaotic situation and maybe he didn't realize that but wtf it only happened a day before right? SMH.
The other thing I had an issue with was why the hell Lex and his cousin insisted on repeatedly going into the mine over and over again after they already knew some sketchy shyt was going down. Especially after Rose told them that Michael escaped - okay WHY GO BACK? L E A V E. They should have ALL just left immediately after the majority of them saw their own dead bodies. GET THE HELL OUT OF DODGE.
I guess both of those could be explained by them just being stupid in general, lol. I actually really enjoyed this film and even though it may not be ~scientifically accurate~ or "feasible" 100%, that doesn't matter to me. Does everything have to be explained by science? Obviously there is some paranormal shyt happening here so you can't just de-mystify it with time loop physics and relativity theorems.
There are still rules to magic and the end makes zero sense whether it be science or magic. Your explanation like most doesn't take the end into account. How was the cycle broken? How many versions of each of them are there? Being in limbo or hell doesn't make sense. Why show the RV couple? How does your theory make the end work? No one has been able to answer this because the ending makes no sense. Also time travel even if magic tends to follow similar scientific rules. If they don't the story doesn't work, like this one. I can forgive a story for having inconsistencies, if it doesn't take itself too seriously. As I said before there are different versions of this movie which adds to the confusion. This is an enjoyable movie, if you stop thinking. I do agree, I don't care about the characters. So, if there is no logic or emotional attachment, how is it enjoyable? Please don't respond, "It just is, or I don't know". That will raise questions I want to avoid asking.
