Watch Project Almanac For Free

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This movie is one of the most underrated movies I've ever seen. I've seen a few reviews saying "why would they go to a concert", as a teenager I'm not gonna lie I would go to a huge festival if I could go for free, get next to nothing VIP tickets and regretted not going in actual time. Also this movie sticks by time travel laws and (although I haven't analysed the movie) I don't think there are any plot holes or if so not major plot holes. This movie has you hooked and if you want to watch a movie which has comedy aswell as tension and drama then I highly recommend this movie

PROJECT ALMANAC is another teen-friendly time travel movie that feels much like THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT, although not as interesting. The main problem with it is that the main characters are a group of hyperactive children who run around shouting and arguing a lot. When they finally figure out how to go back in time, they decide to cheat at school and go to a massive party, which seems very silly and superficial and a waste of a decent premise; compare this with the plot of the excellent Spanish thriller TIMECRIMES, for instance, to see where I'm coming from. Indeed, PROJECT ALMANAC only gets good in the last half an hour or so, when the stakes are raised and the film manages to build suspense quite effectively. This is also a found footage movie that seems to go out of the way to feature as much camera shake as possible; it's not something I have a particular problem with, but your mileage may vary.

I need to comment on the review above from the so called "Engineer". He bashed this movie because he felt that technically it wasn't up to his level of academic standards. First off they didn't make this movie so that the Engineers in the world could take notes and use them in their jobs. This was a typical teen movie which kept your interest and had a decent ending. If you wanted an educational movie than maybe look into watching the education channel or maybe even the Sci-Fi channel. Why would you be watching a teen movie to compare your knowledge with what they portrayed in the movie.The movie is worth watching especially if you have teenagers. I have two that I watched the movie with an 18 year old and a 15 year old and they both enjoyed it. We were not going into watching this movie to learn how to time travel, and or build instruments. Hope this helps.

Why would a guy stand there and film his girlfriend as she's pouring out her heart, any other woman in the world would slap the camera out of the guy's hand. Why would anyone film a tender moment between two people during a loud, noisy concert, where they couldn't possibly pick up the peoples' voices over the sound of the music. Why would kids film themselves committing crimes. None of the secondary characters are bothered by being filmed, it's perfectly normal to them. NO. You have to ask before you film people, it's common courtesy. And the dopiest thing of all about this film: oh, my dad built a time machine, uttered as casually as though dad built a bookshelf. They don't react in astonishment, it's just a time machine, no big whoop. Here is a tip if you insist on watching this film: you can safely FF through the music festival, you won't miss anything.
