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. Jan 21, 2016 | Full Review…

[It] is a "found footage" movie. This gimmick may have run its course: not only does Israelite use the method inconsistently, he never shows why it's needed to tell this particular story. Feb 27, 2015 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Group chemistry is moderately diverting but story offerings are as scanty as the shorts and skirts sported by the female leads. Feb 19, 2015 | Rating: 1/5

Ultimately forgettable despite some novel ideas, Project Almanac loses a point for also being a found-footage movie; a stupid gimmick that only adds the risk of causing a migraine. May 16, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Project Almanac's exuberance for the scientific aspect of time travel, unique use of handheld camerawork, and allusion to allegorical decisions makes for a fun watch, even if the overwhelming teen feel to the film detracts from being taken too seriously. Apr 4, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

PA morphs into teen soap opera territory and sinks the minimal sci-fi flavoring it had for a nonsensical diversion punctuated by the aforementioned shoddy camera fluctuation and lack of time-traveling zest beyond small-time incidental dilemmas Nov 9, 2018 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…
