Again a movie without edges of Netflix. So clean and good that you get too much. After 20 minutes you can turn off this garbage.

And that is for the simple reason that innovating in this genre has unfortunately become too difficult, and it's very noticeable when it mix in a lot of bits and pieces from other stories in a way that completely fails to establish an identity of its own.

It's very difficult to come up with something that is genuinely good enough to be worthy of your time when the whole balance of your output is between everything you want to be and everything you can copy from somewhere else.

Ryan Reynolds may be very appealing to audiences because audiences clearly show it to him, but it's amazing to see how film after film he demonstrates his total lack of range and just repeats the same funny guy who tries so hard over and over again.
You can also see how his comedic delivery only improves when Mark Ruffalo enters the picture.
That's what happens when a better actor who isn't even breaking a sweat makes him improve what little he can afford as an actor.

Now overlooking most of its flaws, which I have no real interest in enumerating, The Adam Project is the kind of production made to work on streaming to perfection.
It will be more than entertaining for most subscribers, it will be in the top 10 for probably the next two weeks if not more, and it will die in complete silence after that, but if it got you to pay for another month of Netflix, even with its new pricing, boy, did it serve its purpose.

You'll have a good time if you turn off your brain, and it's ok.… Expand

As flyby a movie as I can remember. Nothing is lasting or effective, scenes and plot fast forward to their resolution. Laughable dialogue, Reynolds seemed uninterested throughout.

Like Shawn Levy's previous Ryan Reynolds effort, "Free Guy," "The Adam Project" exceeds expectations for me, but not in the ways I expected. Where "Free Guy" had much more philosophical weight to it than I thought it would, "The Adam Project"Like Shawn Levy's previous Ryan Reynolds effort, "Free Guy," "The Adam Project" exceeds expectations for me, but not in the ways I expected. Where "Free Guy" had much more philosophical weight to it than I thought it would, "The Adam Project" really brings way more poignance to the table than I was expecting. There are a couple moments of genuine emotional pause spaced throughout the film that help build the thematic backbone at hand. You also have to love seeing Ryan Reynolds taking a moment or two -- however brief they may be -- away from his usual Ryan Reynolds-isms to remind us all of the genuine dramatic talent he has behind that comedic persona we've all come to love over the years. The humor is spotty and there's a de-aging effect that honestly lands somewhere between looking like Clu in "Tron: Legacy" and Voldemort on the back of Professor Quirrell's head in "Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone," but I'm generally inclined to compartmentalize these things in favor of the sense of enjoyment this movie evoked on the whole. Not a bad watch.… Expand

When most of the film's budget went into what I would assume would be a rather extravagant cast and not much else for the rest of the film you get this random, cliche time travel movie with the expected plot holes and eye-rolling absurdity inWhen most of the film's budget went into what I would assume would be a rather extravagant cast and not much else for the rest of the film you get this random, cliche time travel movie with the expected plot holes and eye-rolling absurdity in the writing.… Expand

I was very impressed with hisDefinitely better than I thought it was going to be but still weak. There is some really good stuff here. Ryan Reynolds is doing some of his usual stick but he leans into the more dramatic and he’s really good. I was very impressed with his performance here. Walker Scobell did a good job at portraying a young version of Ryan Reynolds. The quips and how they are delivered is exactly how Reynolds does it. Mark Ruffalo is pretty good as well. The emotional beats are definitely very effective at points especially towards the end with the final scene featuring the 3 core characters. Really good scene and really good character work throughout. The actual story here is weak. The time travel made some sense at first but fell apart by the end and besides the characters, there wasn’t anything about the story that stood out. The third act especially is very weak and anticlimactic. There isn’t a strong conclusion and the conflict just kind of ends. There really isn’t a great buildup and that was very frustrating. As strong as some of the characters were, others were pretty bad. Zoe Saldana gives a good performance but her character doesn’t do anything. She is just there to be Reynold’s wife and that’s her only purpose to the story and this isn’t some flashback. She’s essential to the story and then she just kind of leaves. Catherine Keener was a bad villain. Her motivations are confusing and unclear and there isn’t any actual character there. Just a stereotypical villain. This definitely felt like a passion project from those involved but it just need its story to be improved and it would have been great. If you like Ryan Reynolds then you’ll definitely enjoy this but you could probably pass on this.… Expand

I want to like this because I like pretty much everyone in it, but it just comes off as a jumble of sci-fi/action movie tropes.

That song hasI want to like this because I like pretty much everyone in it, but it just comes off as a jumble of sci-fi/action movie tropes. The soundtrack tips you off right out of the gate with The Spencer Davis Group's Gimme Some Lovin. That song has been destroyed by movie soundtracks over the years, but it's a keen indicator of lazy, Hollywood writing. Ryan Reynolds and Zoe Saldana shine, as per usual, and if you like Reynolds, you get plenty of him (even an obnoxious younger version of him), but that wears thin. Lots of money spent on CGI (most de-aging Katherine Keener), but it's very haphazard and thrown together.… Expand

A beautiful story on the inside. Cinematically it’s shot very well wether it’s on site, green screen or CGI. At first his 12 year old self is a bit unbearable, I’m glad they call it out during the film and we get a heart to heart as to why.

Czuć potencjał na dobrą opowieść oraz kino przygody, jednak historia tego nie wykorzystuje i zostaje popkorniak z akcją, jakimiś relacjami oraz fajnymi CGI

The action and special effects are well done, but the main characters (both young Adam and 30s Adam) are very annoying. The plot was also all over the place. There were some tender moments which were well done. It's a film.

The actors, script, CGI, and fight scenes are nice but the character development is trash. Just another feels-like-rushed movie for ADD teens.

It uses all the likability from the stacked cast to make people think a movie being entertaining is enough. The Adam Project needs to be more.

What happens when Deadpool, Hulk, Gamora, and Elektra are in the same frame? Of course, you will think if we are going to talk about Marvel movies. But this time your guess is wrong.

The actors who played the iconic Marvel characters gathered and played in the science fiction genre film with the title The Adam Project. Maybe you have high expectations if later this will be very promising, but this time we apologize.

You will be disappointed if you have high expectations with this one film. Big names don't make this film great at all. For those of you who like the Time Travel movie, you might be very interested in The Adam Project.

I was very hyped when I saw the Trailer. On the realesday I was watching it from begin to ending and the reusult was it's just okay. It's kind of cliched even though the concept is new. Just a few pluses for this and that.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not sure if there are spoilers, just marked it in case.

Good actors, performances, even the effects look nice, but the plot is just so low effort. The whole time travel concept isn't thought out like BTTF or Endgame. There's a scene where they drive backwards thru a forest and it's just so ridiculous, how fast they go while miraculously not hitting a single tree. There's the reactor breach where some but not all metallic objects are sucked into the reactor, other objects for the sake of the plot since they couldn't write when that made sense, miraculously take longer to be pulled in magnetically. Guns are all apparently made of plastic with magnetized bullets that don't pull on the gun, but once they are fired all of a sudden the magnetic field has an effect on them. Then there's the whole lightsaber thingamajigger, somehow the energized parts just magically vaporize enemies and while the whole vaporizing part is because they're being killed outside of their original timeline, I'm not sure how they die so easily. Then there's the part where Ryan Reynolds is holding on to the energized part swinging it around without anything happening to his hands. It just makes no sense whatsoever.… Expand

When Ryan Reynolds decide to be serious here then he is good plus this film has a good heart but it just doesn't make a ton of sense and it's somewhat boring with a bad villain.

Am I unhappy I watched it? No. Would I watch it again, also, no. If there's nothing else on, give it a go, but it's not Reynold's best work, though he is still pleasant.
