Project Almanac
A group of teens discover secret plans of a time machine, and construct one. However, things start to get out of control.
Critics Sentiment
The group uses time travel for lottery and school improvements
Temporal feedback loop erases Jessie from the timeline completely
The film drops sharply from the fun personal gain sequences (8.5) to the devastating consequences when Jessie is erased (4.9), a swing of 3.6 points as the adventure becomes tragedy.
Project Almanac starts as an engaging teen adventure with strong character development and exciting time travel experiments that reviewers genuinely enjoyed. The middle section peaks with fun personal gain sequences that feel authentically teenage, but the film stumbles in its final act as consequences become increasingly dramatic and the time travel logic grows confusing. Despite technical criticisms of the found footage approach, most reviewers appreciated the heart and chemistry of the young cast.
