David Raskin (Jonny Weston) is a high-school science nerd who dreams of going to MIT. When he and his friends (Sam Lerner, Allen Evangelista) find his late father's plans for a "temporal displacement device," David can't wait to start tinkering. When they finally get the device to work, the teenagers jump at the opportunity to manipulate time in their favor -- but their joy is short-lived when they begin to discover the consequences of their actions.

Critics Consensus

Project Almanac isn't without wit or originality, but its thin story and irritating found-footage camerawork ultimately make it difficult to recommend.

I really enjoyed this movie! It reminded me a bit of the butterfly effect and also the movie Multiverse. The ending wasn't exactly what I wanted, but still was good!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Kind of a stupid movie. If anyone had this much excitement and activity packed into their life, they'd have heart attacks. Just not plausible.

The movies is creative with the camera work, the base concept of the storyline it's really simple but is because of that, I personally think he is amazing.

Alot of people really dog on this movie but it has a great nostalgic feel to me. Go in understanding this is a semi cheesy time travel adventure, led by teenagers. Enjoy the slightly corny story line and imagine what you would do with a time machine while you are in high school. Not perfect by any means, but sold 4/5! This movie is underrated IMO

The genre dramatizes the identity formation that goes on during the digital technology-glutted adolescent years, which are filled with screens and captured images, whether from smartphones, cameras, vlogging, or pictures on social media.

The 106 minutes between the opening scene and the end credits still feels like an eternity.

Project Almanac is a rousing success for the hard-to-nail found footage and time travel genres a fun January release that will more than make up for the lack of quality 2015 titles out at the multiplex.

Has all the annoying traits of found footage movies-"You're getting all this, right?"-and screams out for a tripod, but for the most part is a zippy young adult sci fi story with equal parts brains and heart.

Rated: 3/5
