00:00Hello, movies in a nutshell here. Today we will explain the drama, mystery and sci-fi film Project Almanac, pay attention to spoilers.
00:08David Ruskin, a great high school graduate, is filming a video application for a scholarship at MIT. His sister Kristina is behind the camera and films everything.
00:16His best friends Quinn Goldberg and Adam Lee also appear in the video to support him.
00:23David presents an impressive technology on a motion sensor, which uses his phone connected to a computer to track his movements.
00:32However, someone is called on the phone during the presentation and the machine breaks down.
00:36Anyway, David is sure of his application.
00:39Sometime later, David receives a letter from MIT. He tells everyone that he was accepted at the university, and his friends and family congratulate him.
00:46Their celebration is interrupted after David finds out that he will only receive a partial scholarship.
00:51Something they can't afford. Too much money is needed for his enrollment, and this kills their celebration.
00:57At school, David's teacher advises him to apply for other scholarships.
01:01In the meantime, David's friends give everything they have to cheer him up.
01:05After school, David finds out that his mother is selling a house to enroll him at MIT.
01:10Kristina pushes David on the ceiling as he searches for old research that he would use for the application.
01:15David explains that he won't have to sell the house if he gets a scholarship for another school.
01:20By chance, Kristina finds a video camera that belonged to their late father, Ben.
01:25They find the last recording that was recorded for David's seventh birthday.
01:29While David watches the video on his laptop, he is shocked to see his current reflection on his birthday.
01:34He lets Adam and Kristina record so they can watch it together.
01:38After going through several logical explanations, David shows them that he is wearing the same shirt as in the video.
01:44The next day, Kristina sees David and his friends studying the video in a cafeteria.
01:49Kristina points out that David is watching the ballerina on the keychains on the video.
01:53After showing their keychains, David realizes that he accidentally replaced the bags with his favorite, Jesse Pierce.
02:00David returns Jesse's bag, but leaves a strange impression.
02:03After school, the group tries to reproduce the video to find as many traces as possible.
02:08They notice that David is trying to reach the light switch in the basement, so they also head to the basement.
02:13There, they enter the closed work space that belonged to Ben.
02:17As they pass through Ben's things, they notice the click sound when the lights are turned off.
02:21They follow the click sound to the secret part that is located in the basement,
02:25where they find a heavy briefcase containing parts for the machine, sewing machine, and documents.
02:30After some research, they assume that Ben participated in the travel experiment through time called Project Almanach,
02:37on behalf of a secret military unit named DARPA.
02:40Adam and Quinn are thrilled with the knowledge that they could make the machine, but David is not quite sure.
02:46David then watches the video from his 7th birthday, where he talks to God about his father for the last time.
02:51After gathering the things and working on the hardware, David and his friends return to the basement
02:56to build a time machine using Ben's scheme.
02:59After working with a glass ball that serves as the heart of the machine, they turn it on,
03:03and everyone is shocked when they look at Kristina's hair.
03:07They follow the machine's electromagnetic energy.
03:10Its power is enough to break through the basement, the headlights shine in their hands,
03:14and they mix the metal tools together.
03:16The machine explodes unexpectedly, but David is fascinated by what happened,
03:20and tells Kristina to film everything.
03:23Later, David helps Adam realize that they can equip the machine with an innovative,
03:28but outdated TV output.
03:30He does this, and they have access to the machine's program through the monitor.
03:34When they realize that they need a graphics processor, they tear up Quinn's Xbox.
03:39With that, they access the machine's navigation program to control the time machine.
03:45In the cafeteria, Adam shows his friends the program he created
03:49so they could set the time on the time machine by phone.
03:52While working in the basement, David gets to know the Limits.
03:55They can go back and forth for a maximum of 3 weeks, and 3 weeks forward.
03:59If they go further than that, they will be trapped in the past forever.
04:03After a while, the guys finally finish the test building and turn on the machine.
04:07They are amazed to see how strong the electromagnetic field is,
04:10and how many unnatural objects are around them.
04:13Very quickly, the machine explodes and spills liquid under David's T-shirt.
04:17They realize that it's the same dirty T-shirt David wore in the video.
04:21They take that as a good sign that they are close to their goal.
04:25The last thing they need is a certain amount of hydrogen.
04:29The group sneaks into the school at night and steals hydrogen bottles from the warehouse.
04:33They return to the time machine with the stolen hydrogen,
04:36but Quinn suggests taking a break to join the fun ahead.
04:40They ignore him and continue to set their first experiment with a toy car.
04:45When their attempt fails, they realize that they need more energy.
04:49With that, David goes outside and leads Jessie to park the car on their property.
04:54Very quickly after she leaves, they quickly connect the wires to the car's battery and continue with the experiment.
05:00Just after the machine turns on, Jessie unexpectedly comes in and is shocked to see what's going on.
05:06Suddenly, the electricity in the whole neighborhood disappears.
05:09After searching in the dark, they find a car connected to a wall from the basement.
05:13Not only that, it went two hours back.
05:16David, after a while, explains the project to Jessie.
05:20After David and his friends brainstorm how to test living objects,
05:24Jessie comes and urges them to use the machine on themselves.
05:27It is then that David looks at Jessie's ballerina on a leash.
05:30After watching the video, Jessie is sure that she will be able to travel through time.
05:35She persuades David to use the machine.
05:38That night, the five of them go to a remote part of the city where they will test the machine to send them 24 hours back.
05:44David warns them that it may explode in the process, so he gives them safety instructions.
05:49After mentally preparing, they turn on the machine.
05:52The energy it collects causes an explosion of a certain size, which sends them somewhere away from the impact of the energy.
05:59After recovering, they return to the city to check if they were successful.
06:04They sneak into Quinn's room, where they are surprised to find Quinn sleeping in a bed in the past.
06:10While Quinn draws a smiley on his door, Quinn turns around from the past and looks at the group.
06:15A return loop occurs, so they almost take both Quinns out of the timeline.
06:19The group runs out into the street ecstatically because they have successfully traveled through time.
06:23Suddenly, the dog starts chasing them.
06:25They panic and return to the future, mistakenly taking the dog with them.
06:30They stare at the lost dog while returning home.
06:33Later that night, David and Jessie spend a few moments together in the car to summarize what happened.
06:39The next day, the group has discussions about what they could do with the machine.
06:43David gives them the knowledge that they should always use the machine together and that no one can travel alone.
06:49They also agree to record every time they travel through time in case they need to see what they have done.
06:56With that, they continue to use the machine to do what they want.
07:00Quinn passes all the tests, Kristina devotes herself to her peasant and they all win the lottery.
07:05David uses the money to stop his mother from selling the house.
07:09Quinn considers buying a sports car, and Kristina buys a new dress.
07:13While they enjoy their new wealth, David continues to work on the time machine.
07:18Later, he admits to Jessie that he is developing the machine so that she could take them even further through time
07:23to prevent the fatal accident that his father experienced on his seventh birthday.
07:27At school, David meets his friends from under the balcony to surprise them.
07:32David transports them back to Lula Palooza, where he experiences his best day of his life.
07:36David and Jessie share sweet moments together in front of the graffiti, Before I Die.
07:41As he gathers the courage to admit his feelings to Jessie, he thinks and she leaves with a broken heart.
07:46After returning from the event, they notice a strange change in their present time.
07:51David's mother already has a job.
07:54Quinn becomes famous on social networks, Kristina's peasant acts like they are best friends,
07:59and the interaction between David and Jessie becomes strange.
08:02That night, David finds a moment when everything has turned upside down,
08:06and he goes back in time to Lula Palooza, but alone.
08:09He manages to admit his feelings to Jessie, and they kiss.
08:13David later returns to the present, where he is satisfied that he sees Jessie in his room after they slept together.
08:19The next day, David finds out that his mother still has to go to interviews for a job,
08:23although his mother already got a job before his solo jump.
08:27At school, David becomes more and more confused because of more and more changes in the timeline.
08:32David later finds out that Quinn and Adam read about the plane crash among other accidents.
08:37Adam thinks that their trip to Lula Palooza created the effect of shaking that caused the incident.
08:42To prove this, Adam explains that if their basketball star was not hit from the side of the car that night after dusk,
08:49he would not have an injured leg and their team could go to the playoffs.
08:53The pilot of the plane, who was accused of the crash, turns out to have a son in the team.
08:57If he was present at the playoff on the day of the accident, thousands of people would be saved.
09:02Everyone is trying to fix what they did, but David is against their theory.
09:06Regardless of David's opposition, the group decides to get rid of Lula Palooza and their timelines.
09:12While the group begins to arrive at David's house that evening,
09:15David is confused and goes to a remote part of the city.
09:18Unexpectedly, Adam arrives shortly after.
09:20David lies to Adam that his plans were mixed up.
09:23He gives everything he has to convince Adam that they can fix everything,
09:27just to prevent the golden player from injury.
09:29He admits that he traveled through time just because he does not want to lose Jesse.
09:33Adam persuades David to go and tell everyone what he did,
09:37but he refuses and impulsively returns through time alone.
09:40David returns to the night when it was dark and saves the player from misfortune.
09:45When he returns to the present time, David finds Adam unconscious in the hospital after he was hit by a car.
09:51Nervous, David returns to the basement where he tries to find a way to prevent Adam's misfortune.
09:57He realizes that all he has to do is to return on Tuesday at 7 o'clock at night
10:02when he left his house to travel through time alone.
10:05Jesse unexpectedly arrives and catches him while he tries to return through time alone.
10:10David unwittingly leads Jesse with him.
10:13Jesse looks at him because he is traveling alone and asks him which time has changed everything.
10:18He eventually admits that he returned to Lulapalooza to finish together.
10:22Jesse feels betrayed because of how much he has manipulated the time period,
10:26but convinces him that he liked her too.
10:29Just then, while trying to fix the problem, Jesse looks at them both from the past.
10:34Suddenly, time repetition occurs and Jesse disappears.
10:37David panics and returns to the present time to fix things,
10:40but he loses the hydrogen with which he would control the machine.
10:43He panics when Quinn comes to him in a panic and says that Jesse has disappeared.
10:47David explains to Quinn that he must destroy the time machine to avoid all the misfortunes that have happened.
10:53Quinn desperately tries to convince David not to do this because they got everything they asked for.
10:58Just then, an officer knocks on the front door wanting to see David.
11:02Because he is now suspected of Jesse's disappearance,
11:05David runs out of the house and runs with his life until the police chase him.
11:09That night, David looks at the police officers surrounding the school.
11:12He takes the risk and enters the school.
11:15David breaks into the hallway and breaks the door to steal the hydrogen bottle from the storage room.
11:20Just when the police arrive to catch him, David manages to escape through time.
11:24He wakes up and has been found since 2004.
11:27He goes straight to his house and enters on his 7th birthday, just like in the video.
11:32He heads to the basement where he finds Ben putting a military box in a secret compartment.
11:37Ben recognizes David and they have a short but warm conversation.
11:41David tells his father that he will be okay and Ben tells David that he is proud of him.
11:46They say their goodbyes to God and hug.
11:49After his father leaves, David takes the military box and sets it on fire.
11:53The timeline is erased and David forgets everything.
11:56On the new timeline, the twins find two video cameras in the basement.
12:00One that their father owned and one that David left for himself in the past.
12:05After editing the video, David comes to Jesse on the day when they accidentally replaced the bags.
12:10He then safely informs her that he will change the world.
