Found-footage Concept Feels Tired In 'project'

The only thing noteworthy about its use in "Project Almanac," which follows a group of high school misfits who invent a time-travel apparatus, is that this particular found-footage film isn't really a horror film, but a sci-fi thriller. While digging around in old projects done by his late father (an inventor of sorts) to try to find anything of value, he and his little sister stumble across an old video recording of David's seventh birthday party, where they notice a shadowy figure in the mirror in one of the shots: a 17-year-old David. When the kids finally figure out how to jump back in time, things get pretty fun for a while as they do exactly what you might expect teenagers would do - going back in time a few days to ace a failed chemistry test, stand up to a bully, win some lotto money and so on.
