What to Know

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.

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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

Carlos T 12h 🎬 **Crítica | Projeto Almanaque (2015)** O cinema tem uma habilidade curiosa: às vezes, grandes ideias surgem onde menos se espera. **Projeto Almanaque (2015)** prova exatamente isso. Sem grandes estrelas no elenco e com um orçamento relativamente modesto, o filme constrói uma narrativa surpreendentemente envolvente sobre juventude, ambição e as consequências inevitáveis de brincar com algo que deveria permanecer intocável: o tempo. A trama acompanha **David Raskin**, interpretado por Jonny Weston, um estudante extremamente inteligente que, ao investigar antigos pertences do pai, descobre pistas de um projeto misterioso: uma máquina capaz de **viajar no tempo**. Ao lado de seus amigos — **Adam** (Allen Evangelista), **Quinn** (Sam Lerner), sua irmã **Christina** (Virginia Gardner) e a carismática **Jessie Pierce** (Sofia Black-D'Elia) — eles transformam teoria em realidade. ⭐ **Nota:** **9 / 10** See more Robson C 1d Um grupo de amigos descobre que o pai de um deles planejava construir uma máquina do tempo — e decidem terminar o projeto. As consequências logo aparecem. O filme é uma aventura sci‑fi leve, cheia das questões clássicas deste tipo, como o famoso dilema de impedir Hitler. No início, eles usam a máquina para vantagens pessoais típicas da adolescência: ir bem na prova, se vingar de bullying, ganhar na loteria ou curtir um megashow. O problema é que o filme estabelece que só seria possível voltar três semanas, mas depois passa a permitir saltos de anos. Outra falha é insistir demais na trama do garoto tentando melhorar a nota de química, repetida a ponto de perder a graça. Isso deixa o final apressado, já que muito tempo é gasto em cenas como a ida ao Lollapalooza. O elenco jovem funciona bem e sustenta a história sem depender dos adultos. O uso de found footage é interessante, embora às vezes pareça forçado. Apesar dos deslizes, o filme entrega uma diversão agradável dentro do tema See more Michael T. @MichaelTriv12 1d I am a fan of time travel movies, not a fan of found footage movies. In this case, the like outweighed the dislike. I enjoyed this movie overall and am surprised at the very low ratings. It’s nothing exceptional, but it is a well done time travel movie. In a genre that can be repetitive and limited, I think this film did a good job of being unique. The ending felt a bit rushed and a lot was left to interpretation throughout the movie, but fans of time travel flicks should find this film entertaining. See more Rose V @LadyOgilvy Feb 1 Pleasantly surprised. Very entertaining, great acting, and script. Definitely worth watching. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Dec 16 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Kenny A. @nerdsman567 Aug 8 A mostly forgettable time travel movie and a rather nauseating found footage movie. The only scene I remember is the scene where they go back in time to an Imagine Dragons concert. As a huge Imagine Dragons fan, it’s the only scene that made the movie worth watching.
