      The movie took only nine months to write, film, and edit. Researching (on time travel) took approximately three months.
    • Goofs
      Allen draws circles on the board to explain the ripple effect on the plane crash. Later, David goes back in time to fix it. When he comes back, we see the board still has circles drawn on it though they shouldn't be there considering the plane crash never happened.
    • Quotes

      Jessie Pierce: You know what I would've done if I was smart enough to build a time machine? I would've gone back in time to meet you sooner.

    • Crazy credits

    Great found footage

    Found footage movies are often pretty predictable and sketchy, but project almanac isn't. Unlike other movies of this genre, the pace is kinda slow, which is appropriate for the story. When you build a time travel machine, it is normal that it takes multiple attempts before it works. Even though sometimes you may wonder why the characters are still filming their journey, it's not disturbing enough to prevent you from focusing on the plot, which is a good thing. There's also a good love story and some funny moments, in addition to a breath taking last act. I'd compare it to the Canadian movie Chronicles.

    Overall you'll have a great time watching this movie, even more if you are familiar with this genre.
