My Project Almanac review
Intro: Did this movie need to be a found footage film?
Project Almanac: This movie is centered on a boy name David Raskin who is trying to get accepted into MIT. His luck seems to turn around when he discovers a device that can travel through time by his deceased father. After he got it working him and his friends use it to get things to work out in their favor. That’s short-lived when the consequences of time travel catch up to them, so they have to fix things before the damage is permitted.
This movie may be the chronicle of time travel but it’s not as good as that movie. I was on the fence about this movie because we have so many books, movies and tv shows that deals with time travel is there anything new that can be done with this concept? The filmmakers seem to be aware of this, so they subvert our expectations when they time travel. Also, time travel is limited in this movie. The device can take you back three weeks and minutes last hours when you time travel. In other films like this time travel is used to fix a dire situation that’s not the case here. For the most part, they are using it for fun. The movie addresses the dos and don’ts of time travel. I like the teens because they remind me of actual teens. Plus, they are the kinds of teens parents want.
One of my many issues with this film is the rules of time travel in this movie doesn’t make sense and the plot holes that comes with it. OK, I’ll try my best to address my next gripe without spoiling anything. Jessie Pierce is a girl that David has a crush on and she plays a role in why things are out of control. This is one of the reasons why we have rape victims because women keep playing mind games with men by giving them mixed signals and not giving guys a strong enough hint that you’re into them. If you don’t want to be put in this situation stop doing that! If you want to let him know that you like him make him brownie, show him what you look like in a bathing suit, gave him a lap dance, or… (before I can finish my editor put me in a chokehold)
Me: OK! OK! I’ll behave!
I’m sorry I didn’t mean to go off topic it’s just that I’m tired of seeing this in Rom-Coms and in real life. Back to the movie, the way it ended makes you want to give David a stunner. I wish this movie would deal with how time affects teens. I mean between going to school, after-school programs, homework and house chores they have no time to unwind. Overall, this is an OK film that I would recommend if you’re a sucker for these films.
Rating = Rental
