    Fun and more

    Deadpool, The Hulk, and Elektra.

    The movie is actually signed by Shawn Levy, which I somehow love.

    It doesn't promise much, but it's pretty good at delivering what it promises.

    Ryan Reynolds is in front of us with the same character he has been playing for the last 15 years.

    What really surprises me is the harmony of someone like Raynolds, who was in front of the camera with the world's greatest actors and actresses, with Walker Scobell, who had his first acting experience at the age of 12.

    They made a great duo team.

    The film is technically trouble-free, even near perfect.

    CGI and Cinematography are very good.

    Sound Engineering is excellent, 5.1.2 Atmos speakers are used very effectively. In some scenes, all the windows and doors in the house shook.

    Long story short, 'The Adam Project' is a movie made to entertain the audience and it succeeds.

    Entertaining and great message

    I am surprised the overall reviews are as low as they appear. I really enjoyed this film.

    I laughed out loud. I was surprised. I had a tear in my eye. Great balance of action, humor, and emotion. This is my perfect entertainment movie.

    Even though the plot and story is related to the moral issues of time travel, that is not the message.

    The vocal minority strikes again...

    You know what's wrong with this whole aggregation ranking thing? Everybody's a critic and everyone thinks that their opinion matters. And it doesn't. Not one little bit. Mine included, so you can stop reading anytime you like...

    People are pissed at this movie the way they are pissed at every movie that isn't directed by Christopher Nolan and have a plot you need a PhD to understand. These people appear to have lost the ability to just...enjoy.

    What anybody who watched this movie - a movie about time travel starring Ryan Reynolds - was expecting when they threw a hissy fit is totally beyond me. Did they not know what was on offer? It kinda says that on the tin. Now, if that's not gonna appeal to you, move along. Nothing for you to see here. For the rest of us - you know, those of us who haven't forgotten how to enjoy stuff an don't require everything we see to be groundbreaking and profound - The Adam Project was a smart, touching and reasonably exciting Sci Fi romp that hit all the right notes and pushed all the right buttons. Recommended.

    Enjoyable

    This isn't going to win any Oscars, and it is far from a perfect time travel movie, but it was a fun ride. Kept my interest all the way through and had a good cast.

    An enjoyable sci-fi adventure for (almost) the whole family

    If you like Ryan Reynolds, you'll probably enjoy The Adam Project. This sci-fi action movie features his usual quick-witted schtick you've come to expect, but it also has an interesting premise, exciting action scenes, and even some real emotion. I do wish they would have toned down the profanity, but overall I found The Adam Project to be an enjoyable adventure.

    • Trivia
      When Louis Reed (Mark Ruffalo) says that he 'gets' a student's T-shirt during a lecture, the shirt has a picture of Nicolas Cage, but the name John Travolta under it. This is a reference to the John Woo film Face/Off (1997) in which the two actors played each other's characters. Cage and Ruffalo also had collaborated on Woo's Windtalkers (2002).
    • Goofs
      At 1:27:09 Louis mentions the gun fires rounds that contain a magnetic steel core; so, the weapon itself should have been pulled towards the reactor at the start of the breach, considering it pulls all things magnetic towards it. This would include its contents.
    • Quotes

      Big Adam: Laura, this is... me.

      Young Adam: Hi.

      Laura: Parallel contact, babe?

      Big Adam: Well, you know, you've always said that you wished you'd met me earlier. Here I am.
