Good story, good acting, no yawns. I left the theater happy and thinking about the plot. That is all I can expect from a movie. If you like science fiction and the fantasy of time travel you might like this one.

Starting with high school kids may sound cliche, but was definitely worth watching it. How the characters seemed so real in the movie amazed me and how one mistake leads to a huge problem. This movie may show how simple it is to make a time machine, but they started almost already with a time machine. It only needed a few modifications and BAM, time travel. I could agree with others about the love story in the movie, but it wasn't a bad story. Just not a lot work put into it. What the kids did with the time machine was expected and predictable. Kids try to cheat the system and have a wonderful time partying. What can you expect? They are just mere high school kids. Don't expect them to change the world historically like saving Abe Lincoln or preventing WW2. That would just be pointless and boring. I do recommend this movie to young adults and above because it really is a good movie. Expand

The story was well written considering the fact that nobody here on Earth knows nothing about time travel and what it could be like to actually do it. So, the version that they planted it into the movie is a reason well enough to watch the movie and ask yourself the big question: What if it is like that. The special effects were a little lame, okay maybe decent but good. I only had one problem actually, and that is with the casting crew. These actors portrayed as high-school kids were kinda newbies here... That is it, folks. Expand

As interesting as it may be, it suffers from the same problem that all back-to-the-past time travel treatments do - it oversimplifies time-travel as a linear trope, and that will always lead to a disappointing story in the end.

For once a movie produce by Michael Bay that didn't turn out to by the biggest stink pile of the year to my surprise.

The story is about an old tape of a birthday party that seems to confirm time travel, a group of teens actually construct their own machine... but as they change the past for their betterment - it wrecks havoc on the world and the only way to stop it may be to make sure the machine never comes to be - no matter the cost.

To those people who are sick of found footage movies well your not alone. Year after year you get the same formal of found footage movie genre and that's why I wasn't looking forward to this movie, because Micheal Bay is producing it and the fact that movie didn't really get my interest as I'm into movies that get my interest before seeing it. I was originally going to review this back in February but I didn't really have enough time and I got a lot of things to review at the time. But now finally seeing the movie I got to say it isn't as bad as I imagine it would be.

The time traveling part in the movie really dose come off fun, but they also time travel to solve their problems like if they failed a exam they can do it till they get it right, this is basically what I would do if I had time travel, and they also things I wouldn't waste time travel on like try to talk to the girl and some other stuff that I wouldn't really do. If I had time travel I would go back to the famous moment of are life time and re-life the moment that changed everything and made history, you know what I wouldn't do? use it on pointless this that wouldn't even matter.

The character's in the movie can sometimes come off annoying, loud, funny or just stupid. I see them as my old friends I use to hang around with and we too did some stupid sh't that I think is funny even today.

I had a lot of fun with Project Almanac. Now I'm not saying that this is a flawless movie that you should see and remember as the greatest, no it's not a perfect movie but I think it's surprisingly not bad and not horribly directed or acted as well.

For problems: The movie itself isn't very remediable and I'm not trying to be mean here but I think I will forget this movie after a couple of months because the movie doesn't really give me anything to remember it by, but I also seen other movie that I thought was good but I already forgotten it by now or I will never watch it again, it's one of those films.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So this movie is about a group of five high school kids, one who is the future of the MIT physics department (trust me the kid is crazy smart), that discover lost blueprints for a time machine the main character, David's, father had designed years earlier.

**Spoiler Alert**

In my opinion the plot was easy to follow if you pay attention, if not your in for a long ride. Movie is a found footage video so be aware of that. The love interest of the movie is a cute (possibly overdone) high school, nerd boy, popular high school girl pairing, The awkwardness of the love interest is funny and at times reminds me of what high school love life was like for almost everyone. The movie's ending was something that I did somewhat see coming, however the very last scene was a fantastic way to end the movie, especially with the fact that Jessie told David that earlier in the movie, and I'm paraphrasing, "did you ever stop to think that I liked you from the start". Im a fan, doubt there will be a 2 nor do I think there should be, but I would pay to see this movie again.

Hope I didn't spoil to much. All in all, its worth a watch and a replay.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie, in my opinion, is massively underrated. I can understand why some people may not like the movie, but I, despite knowing the flaws, enjoyed this movie. The visual effects are wonderful and realistic, as tape from cameras doesn't always come out picture perfect, and there will be glitches, and the fact that they made the camera glitch when the time machine made the magnetic field right before it transported people was very realistic in my opinion.

The subject of time travel is handled very well, such as altering the past affecting the future. Even though it brought to light the fact that they were actually living in the past, and knew from David's 7th birthday party home video that the time machine would eventually work (as David points out to his late father (whom died in a car crash on his 7th birthday), simply by being there). The subject of being erased from a timeline by seeing your past or future self, was, in my opinion, realistic, but, seemingly far fetched. How so? I can't really elaborate. This, despite what I just said, actually makes the movie realistic, and not just completely fictional Hollywood garbage, as Hollywood likes to pump out yearly within the genre of science fiction.

Even though time travel as a whole is physically impossible (shouldn't we have been visited by future beings by now?), the movie handled it really well, bringing to light some very well-known theories on time travel. Now, this doesn't mean the movie was perfect. The fact that a ten-year-old camera could produce such high-quality footage is completely Hollywood content, though every found footage movie ever made had uber-high quality footage.

Now, be honest with yourself. Would you rather see 1080p, or 144p? The answer may seem obvious, though it seems that that kind of realism is just something Hollywood directors can't grasp. The reasons that the teenagers go back in time is pretty ridiculous and selfish (somewhat), but, come on! They're teenagers! Not brilliant scientists (even though the one kid is going to MIT, he still is just 17)! I just don't see how you guys look past this.

Overall, the movie is flawed, but is more than just a popcorn flick. You will enjoy this film if you are a sci-fi fan like me, and you also don't need any alcohol or drugs. This movie is a definite DVD purchase for me, but, what about you guys?

This is a found footage movie and it shows the shaky cam moments are irritating and some of the more adventurous angles are awkward and detract from the experience.
Otherwise this is a fun, fresh take on the time travel movie. The acting is serviceable and effective, but it's nothing special. The plot explores what would happen if unimaginable circumstances were foisted upon teens. In this respect it reminds me a lot of Chronicle. Some of the individual scenes are great especially the repeated attempts in Chemistry class and the sister getting back at her bully. The narrative does a good job of coherently string these scenes together coherently. Most of the characters are well developed and feel human especially the lead but excluding the sister. Even that adds to the experience as she is the one "filming" and takes on the silent protagonist allowing an immersion factor that is rare in film.The last third has a great sense of build and culminates in an ending that put my jaw to the floor. An even more jarring twist occurs in the credits when it is revealed that Micheal Bay produced this film. Bay touching something and it not turning to crap is the real miracle
