Project Almanac Movie Analysis
A movie is something that everyone can sit down and enjoy. All types of ages are able to watch a movie. The movie that I evaluated was Project Almanac. This movie was about a boy named David, who is crazy smart who dreams of going to MIT. In the movie the main character David, stumbles upon secret plans of his late father's. In these plans it includes a device to build which turns out to be a time machine. David and his friends then get to work to build this so called time machine. After many trials and errors they get the time machine to actually work. There were many consequences to building the time machine. You would just have to watch the movie to find out what they were. The whole movie was based on camerawork from the main character's …show more content…
Is it creative enough to catch the viewer's attention and keep their focus on the movie? In this movies case I would give it a lot of credit for creativity. What’s more creative than building a time machine and using it to go back in time? The imagination in this movie is impressive. I would give it four stars for creativity.

Entertainment value is another key point to watching a movie. In the movie there is so much happening that it’s hard not to pay attention too. This could be a good thing or a bad thing for some people. Someone might miss something important in the movie if there is too much going on, but you don’t want the movie going slow and not catching the attention of movie viewers. Project Almanac was a very engaging movie to watch. I would have to say it was one of my favorite science fiction/ fantasy films. It went at a nice pace to fully understand what was happening.
Dialogue is what makes the movie come to life. It is a major thing to a movie; it creates the movie as a whole. The main characters in the movie carry on casual conversations. For example, in the movie when they were building the time machine David would tell his friends what to do, just a simple casual conversation going on. Which is what happens in a movie; people talk to one another and interact. Without dialogue it would be a silent and boring

    Argo: Movie Analysis

    When the movie Argo began to play I thought to myself this movie may not have my interest. The Iran’s were very aggressive toward the Americans because they felt as if we were trying to harm them. I did not understand the language they were speaking. However, the film should have made the CC pop up at the bottom of the screen so we could at least read their conversations. When the Americans began to burn all of the files they had I started to question were they really trying to help the Iran’s or not. The Iran’s started to get serious by shutting the power off in the buildings so the Americans could not talk to anyone. I began to get curious about what would happen next.…

    Is that it does not take itself too seriously, it is funny, has action, cool looking tech, good actors, and good FX. I really enjoyed the “odd couple” relationship between Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith as displayed onscreen. Some of my favorite scenes were the use of the memory-wiper, a cool device to have to make people forget something, and the epic, exploding flying saucer scene at end of the film was awesome to watch. Moreover, of course, the very ending of the film showing our own Milky Way galaxy is merely a prized marble used on a board game by huge pan-denominational beings outside our own reality of the universe. This film is great on all accounts and much more appreciated then the films that came later in the…

    Dr. Gerson lamented that the AMA was on a back stabbing mission to discredit him for his success with “terminal” cancer patients. He referred to his clinic as a would be “death house” if he’d not learned how to treat those who came to him as a last resort. Some arrived on stretchers, as they could not stand on their own 2 feet. Nor could they eat. He referred the practice that grew out of necessity as “very, very difficult”, one that forced him to develop and implement survival treatments for the gravely ill souls who appeared at his door step. If ever there was a healer of heroic significance, it was Dr. Max Gerson.…

    Movies can be divided in to so many categories nowadays and there are different reasons why there is an emergence of these. One reason being that movies evolve with society and this is evident in the way movies are presented from black and white to colored and now 3D movies. But we must also look at how the different plots have evolved from the usual light home movies to mafia influenced movies and now more socially relevant movies. As society evolves, so does our opinions and views on different ideologies or concepts about life and our surroundings.…
