The Adam Project is an unpretentious family film, mainly aimed at a young audience ★★☆☆☆

Time travel is always a hassle. For example, you can encounter your younger self, a fact that in the Netflix movie The Adam Project is being worked out expeditiously. Adam (Ryan Reynolds) travels from 2050 to the present, where he and 12-year-old Adam (Walker Scobell) try to make future time travel impossible.

Reynolds does what he does best: just like in Deadpool or in the Shawn Levy also directed Free Guy he plays a casual, witty, rather self-righteous hero with a romantic disposition. It makes The Adam Project not surprising, but that is – given the exuberant openness with which elements from other films are stolen, from ET until Back to the Future – also clearly not the target. The Adam Project is an unpretentious, entertaining family film, aimed primarily at a young audience. Actors like Mark Ruffalo and Catherine Keener give the silly scenario a little weight.
