11. Project Almanac
RottenTomatoes Score: 31% (4.7 out of 10) from a small number of early reviews Box Office: The Michael Bay-produced found footage time travel flick is tracking to pull in a $19 million weekend, easily making its $12 million budget back and likely going on to become an impressive minor success for Paramount. Despite a surge of positive early reviews right out of the gate, a more expectedly mixed critical consensus soon began to emerge, criticising the decision to shoot the movie in an unnecessary found footage style which is both disorientating and even blatantly abandoned a times. Though there has been a measure of praise pointed at the set-up, it devolves into Project X-esque shenanigans before soon, ending up as boneheaded and aloof as the very teenagers it depicts. It's a movie Michael Bay had some responsibility in bringing to the screen: did you ever really get your hopes up that it wouldn't be visually confusing and casually sexist?
