Project Almanac 2015


     David Raskin is trying to get a scholarship to attend MIT.  He does get a letter from them but the offer is for $5000.  His mother offers to sell their house to get the money for him.  He doesn’t want her to and he can't let her sell the house.  David gets together with his friends and they find a time machine left behind by David’s father who passed away.  They jump together in time and change things about their lives they don’t like.  They also jump to do things that happened before they were able to do them.  The one thing they didn’t count on is a ripple effect of changing the past that also changes the future. 
     This film reminds me of The Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity.  You can come up with an idea and make your own movie.  Everything gets very confusing with the back and forth time changes and then the trying to change the changes.  They agree on certain rules for jumping but then they don't follow them?  So many changes there isn’t any way to keep track of anything!!  A good idea but you need a graph to follow the movie.  3* (This movie is OK)

106 min, Sci-Fi directed by Dean Israelite with Amy Landecker, Sofia Black-D’Elia, Virginia Gardner, Jonny Weston, Allen Evangelista, Gary Weeks, Michelle De Fraites.
