Review of Project Almanac (2015) by Alicia S — 03 Feb 2015

I haven't met a time travel movie I didn't like, and while this one tries its hardest to make me not like it at times, I couldn't help but still enjoy it. Like the first half of Chronicle showed what teenagers would do with superpowers, this film perfectly illustrates what they would do with a time machine.

Much of it is enjoyable enough: watching them build a time machine, then use it for fun, win the lottery, etc., but the third act is thin, not really delving into the consequences of their actions. And I wasn't that impressed with the way it's wrapped up in the end.

Still, I liked it. Didn't realize going in that it was in found footage style, which may have run its course, but wasn't too distracting for me.
