Such a frustrating disappointment

Crappy film

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

As I finished watching it, I felt disappointed: plot holes, not so strong plot, crazy shooting (ok, it's meant to be "young" footage-style, but... exxagerated!) ...One day later, it feels a bit better. I am still a bit disappointed by the shooting but... ok. On the other hand, the plot now seems to make some sense, and even a complain I read somewhere about "they get a time machine and can't think of a better use"... becomes less critical. I mean, they're 17 or so: me too, if I had found such a machine back in the days, would've probably done the same choices!So, a somewhat nice idea and somewhat new. Acceptable.

'Project Almanac (2015)' is so utterly bland, not to mention ultimately forgettable, that you simply can't care about anything happening on-screen. It almost doesn't matter that the film relies so heavily on convention and breaks its own rules a number of times, mostly those relating to its overall presentation rather than its time-travel mechanics, that it becomes nothing more than a time-looped repeat of better films past... almost. There's nothing to draw you in here, not the hackneyed plot or hokey acting or humdrum presentation, and there's no real surprises to keep you interested once you are. You can totally check-out and still understand the purportedly 'complex' plot. 5/10

Complete waste of time. Couldn't finish this drivel. The shaky documentary style cam is even worse than when Damon is playing superagent badass MMA fighting ninja. The "science" is laughable. Just one example; In this world hydrogen is apparently an almost illegal substance that it takes a heist to get. These MIT geniuses haven't got even a basic understanding of chemistry. Also static electricity is proof of temporal electromagnetic energy. "come on", "what do I do with this screwdriver", "that's it!" are just a few of the lines randomly thrown into the background of a particularly badly written scene. I gave this four stars because Virginia Gardner's boobs featured prominently a couple of times. So basically two stars per cleavage.

This reminded me of Aston Kutcher's Butterfly Effect, which I think was a better version of the time-travel type movie. It's just amazing how everything is connected to everything and how Einstein could possibly come up with the Chaos Theory. It makes you wonder if something like this could ever become a reality in the future. Casting in the movie was good.. good screenplay and direction overall. A good movie for science buffs.
