Review – Project Almanac

I was really impressed with precisely one moment in this movie: for a brief instant one of the characters is shown holding a tripod. Brilliant! What chutzpah it takes to actively taunt your audience. “See, we know what one of these is. We just ain’t gonna use it.” This thing made The Blair Witch Project look like Jean Renoir. Seriously, the shaky cam nonsense was so excessive that for roughly a third of the running time I had to stop watching and stare at the backs of the seats in front of me to keep from getting ill. However, from what I was able to watch, I wasn’t missing much. The story was a teenager-intensive reheat of the boring parts of Time Cop. Wish I’d skipped it
