I love this movie so much
If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
The acting in this movie is really good.
This movie is one of the most underrated movies I've ever seen. I've seen a few reviews saying "why would they go to a concert", as a teenager I'm not gonna lie I would go to a huge festival if I could go for free, get next to nothing VIP tickets and regretted not going in actual time. Also this movie sticks by time travel laws and (although I haven't analysed the movie) I don't think there are any plot holes or if so not major plot holes. This movie has you hooked and if you want to watch a movie which has comedy aswell as tension and drama then I highly recommend this movie
'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
It doesn't take long to review any film Michael Bay has been anywhere near so I'll keep this brief. Remember the early 'Transformers' films? Shia LaBeouf's nerd character inexplicably gets with Megan Fox's over-sexualised mega-babe character. Its just that again with a younger nerd + babe - because these films are produced by 'dudes' who have to throw in the creepy scenes where they zoom in on the girls' tits, asses and legs and we all have to leer along with them because its just dudes being dudes - even when they're nerds. After the first third of the film replays Transformers for us, we are then treated to the second act of overlong experiment scenes and super-cool time travel experiences which go to the trouble of highlighting every issue they could think of with time travel, and then go and create some inexplicable paradoxes (how does he go back to the wall to kiss her when his past self is already there? why when they replay the classroom test scene do they not run into X amount of their past selves, also trying to replay this moment?) Then finally we get the third act, which can pretty much be summed up in three words that never needed to be the blueprint for anything - The Butterfly Effect. Somehow every combination of effects they have on the past directly effect their present in a negative way - shock horror. The film limps to a predictable end by tying up the mystery of the key ring that had everyone on the edge of their seats for all of 3 seconds. By this point you will be exhausted by all the questions this film raises and will just be glad its over, not caring that none of it makes sense.
Why would a guy stand there and film his girlfriend as she's pouring out her heart, any other woman in the world would slap the camera out of the guy's hand. Why would anyone film a tender moment between two people during a loud, noisy concert, where they couldn't possibly pick up the peoples' voices over the sound of the music. Why would kids film themselves committing crimes. None of the secondary characters are bothered by being filmed, it's perfectly normal to them. NO. You have to ask before you film people, it's common courtesy. And the dopiest thing of all about this film: oh, my dad built a time machine, uttered as casually as though dad built a bookshelf. They don't react in astonishment, it's just a time machine, no big whoop. Here is a tip if you insist on watching this film: you can safely FF through the music festival, you won't miss anything.
