To my surprise not that bad of a film

For once a movie produce by Michael Bay that didn't turn out to by the biggest stink pile of the year to my surprise.
The story is about an old tape of a birthday party that seems to confirm time travel, a group of teens actually construct their own machine... but as they change the past for their betterment - it wrecks havoc on the world and the only way to stop it may be to make sure the machine never comes to be - no matter the cost.
To those people who are sick of found footage movies well your not alone. Year after year you get the same formal of found footage movie genre and that's why I wasn't looking forward to this movie, because Micheal Bay is producing it and the fact that movie didn't really get my interest as I'm into movies that get my interest before seeing it. I was originally going to review this back in February but I didn't really have enough time and I got a lot of things to review at the time. But now finally seeing the movie I got to say it isn't as bad as I imagine it would be.
The time traveling part in the movie really dose come off fun, but they also time travel to solve their problems like if they failed a exam they can do it till they get it right, this is basically what I would do if I had time travel, and they also things I wouldn't waste time travel on like try to talk to the girl and some other stuff that I wouldn't really do. If I had time travel I would go back to the famous moment of are life time and re-life the moment that changed everything and made history, you know what I wouldn't do? use it on pointless this that wouldn't even matter.
The character's in the movie can sometimes come off annoying, loud, funny or just stupid. I see them as my old friends I use to hang around with and we too did some stupid sh't that I think is funny even today.
I had a lot of fun with Project Almanac. Now I'm not saying that this is a flawless movie that you should see and remember as the greatest, no it's not a perfect movie but I think it's surprisingly not bad and not horribly directed or acted as well.
For problems: The movie itself isn't very remediable and I'm not trying to be mean here but I think I will forget this movie after a couple of months because the movie doesn't really give me anything to remember it by, but I also seen other movie that I thought was good but I already forgotten it by now or I will never watch it again, it's one of those films.
