Review of Project Almanac (2015) by Kal E — 30 Jan 2015
Project Almanac is painfully written, awkwardly paced, and filled with jolty camera movements. The movie follows five teens- with stereotypical characterizations that barely skim the surface- as they try to build and use a time machine.
The first half of the movie is filled with budding friendships (and romance) and fun adventures in time travel: winning the lottery, retaking tests, etc. Unfortunately, things do not go as planned when the protagonist- I don't even remember his name- betrays his team for selfish reasons and causes confusing time ripples.
Time travel is confusing and this movie complicates it even more. The movie is built on a faulty base of time travel with no world rules, meager character development, and an idea, that even if executed well, would've had problems.
