The Adam Project Reviews

To be honest, I have never been a huge fan of Shawn Levy’s work but I have to admit that ‘Free Guy’ was actually quite fun. As a result, I was rather curious about this new collaboration with Ryan Reynolds, even if it was eventually not very well received when it came out. Anyway, since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. First of all, I will never understand why, when the Americans make movies about time-travelling, they are always so obsessed about their past. Indeed, as far as I’m concerned, I think it would be so much more interesting to go in the future to see some wild cool stuff among other things. I would be also the opportunity for the filmmakers to be really creative but, for some reasons, time-travelling make them apparently nostalgic. Anyway, sure, it did turn out to be a step down from ‘Free Guy’ but, in fact, I thought the damned thing was still fairly entertaining. Indeed, it was actually pretty cool to see this young boy meeting his future self, especially since his future version would turn out to look ripped like Ryan Reynolds and turned out to be a pilot of a freaking time-travelling jet. The banter involving these 2 versions of basically the same person was not bad at all and this part was probably the most enjoyable but the final act, when they got reunited with their deceased father, worked also well. However, I wish that this interesting set of characters didn’t have to save the world which was not only rather pretentious but also seriously generic and, above all, pretty tedious. Anyway, to conclude, even if it was nothing really amazing whatsoever, it was still rather harmless and even fairly entertaining so I think it is actually worth a look, at least, if you really like the genre.
