How good would you be avoiding yourself as a future you who just traveled through time? The more you think about it, the more of a mind blow it really is. Just take a look at the universe and its infinite changing schematics, then place an ever changing variable in the middle. This will include a warp of what has happened and what will happen. Now, after listening to my ramblings and even pretending to understand any of it, know that I don't know what the hell I am talking about! Project Almanac is the story of the absolute smartest kids in the world discovering a time machine. They tweak and alter it so that it can be used whenever they want and go wherever they want. Low and behold, when traveling through time the infinite schematics that I spoke of before, start to drastically alter the universe like the butterfly effect and in short, they really mess shit up! This was like two movies in one, the beginning consists of cheesy, bad acting, with no joke the smartest kids in the world. Then it changes into a bit of a tense movie with some good events that keep you watching. The reality of the boyfriend/girlfriend tension is spot on, and the high school environment was pretty good. The rest was just kind of bla. I would give it a shot, it is definitely one of those that will be one stop behind because you can guess what will really happen, but not to bad. BTW, if your kid is this smart and only gets $500 towards MIT, start applying to some other schools!
FYI: Each cast member learned their lines in 5 days. Typical!

I love time travel movies, but missed this one at the theater.

ReplyDeleteMe too, and I am usually a sucker for High School movies as well but this one was just a little too much of a dud.
