The problems with time travel

Project Almanac (2015)

Directed by Dean Israelite this film stars Jonny Weston, Sofia Black D'Elia, Sam Lerner, Allen Evangelista and Virginia Gardner. A high school student that wants to go to MIT discovers plans his father left for a time machine and time travels with his friends.

There is a lot of promise in the premise of this film but it falls far short of doing anything interesting. Events become a bit of a jumble thanks to all the time travel and I do not think this is an intentional affect like in Primer (2004). The worst part is presenting the whole film as found footage which is seems to be an excuse for some really annoying camera work that constantly took me out of the film.


2/5
