Review of Project Almanac (2015) by Chaeote — 08 Jun 2015
The beginning bit where they were first messing around with time travel and trying to do things for selfish reason, is actually pretty funny, I genuinely enjoyed it.
The the main character breaks his OWN rule (for no discernible reason... he could have fixed the situation with a simple "I'm sorry, I'm an awkward dork, but I do like you, and should've kissed you... can we start over?".
Instead, he goes and be's a dumbass, and **** everything up.
The movie also mixes too many time travel paradoxes together.
The toy car makes it seems like a predestination paradox, them going back in time and avoiding their past selves, makes it seem like an alternate timeline paradox, the fact that they go back and don't run into their future selves, who had already gone back makes it seem like there's a protective bubble around them.
And then at the end (spoilers), they try to make it seems likes it's a stable time loop, MIXED, with an alternate timeline, and you have no idea whether they're gonna learn from their mistakes, or (more likely), just mess things up again.
