Review of Project Almanac (2015) by Caleb C — 30 Jun 2015

Project Almanac is filmed in found-footage style and has a lot of dizzy moments. I didn't really care much about the found- footage but thought that it was unnecessary and thought that it could better if it is filmed normally.

On to the plot, it sounds new but is actually used in many other movies for many times. However, Almanac is well- paced and the ending was not as bad as I thought. Though there are some paradox throughout the movie, at the end of the day, Almanac is still a teenage movie and shouldn't be viewed seriously. So overall I actually found it enjoyable and satisfied on how they end the movie.

The movie doesn't really develop much on the characters, but the chemistry between the teenagers went out pretty well. They still have feelings among their characters even though they're just a bunch of ordinary teenagers. This made me cared a lot about the characters.

Overall, Project Almanac has a premise that we've seen a million times with is filmed in a unnecessary found- footage technique (Back to the Future, The Butterfly Effect, and Chronicle), it's still enjoyable and still owns some cool elements.
