Review of Project Almanac (2015) by Cory S — 29 Jan 2015
After numerous attempts and failures, newcomer Dean Israelite directs a refreshing spin on this dying genre. This found-footage film follows David, a teenager who has been accepted to M.I.T for science.
After finding an incomplete project his dad left behind, he and his friends set out to finish the design for a time machine, unlocking infinite possibilities. Overall, "Project Almanac" is a really fun film, but it's pacing issues really hurt it.
For the first half you are just waiting around for it all to begin, and once it does, it picks up and slows down constantly. You have seen this style of film done to death by now and if you can not find any enjoyment out of it, there is nothing new to see here.
In the end, it is not an original film, but they make the best of it and I enjoyed myself. "Project Almanac" is safe fun!
