The Adam Project 2022 hollywood movies review

The Adam Project is entertaining, it’s fast-paced and has dialogues that will leave you in splits. Highly recommend if you are seeking a thrill ride in a universe that throws up unexpected surprises at every curve, says our The Adam Project Movie Review.

Time travel is a great concept for a movie premise. There is a sense of mystery and intrigue that revolves around the prospect of someone in the future meeting his past self. Shawn Levy’s The Adam Project, starring the very good looking Ryan Reynolds, meets his 12-year-old self in the form of child actor Walker Scobell. Ryan’s character Adam (thus the title The Adam Project) is trying to do multiple things – it starts with his plan to save his late wife Laura (Zoe Saldana) from dying, but ends up with the bigger plan of saving humanity and the planet from destruction!

The Adam Project is fun. It doesn’t take itself too seriously. I mean, with Reynolds at the forefront, how can it? The actor has become the poster boy for everything that’s cheeky, witty, laced with dark sarcasm and humour.

There are a lot of well-done VFX scenes that involve battleships and fight sequences, but what strikes you the most in the film is the emotional strife that Adam goes through. His scene with his mother (Jennifer Garner) at the bar stands out not just for the performances but for the way it is written. The constant battle between guilt, regret, the choices he made and flipping between parallel timelines makes the plot engaging.

Performances are top-notch. Child actor Walker Scobell is a major highlight of the film, especially in scenes where he has to give it back to the older Adam. There is a scene between the two where Reynolds tells his younger self how to deal with bullies, which showcases the chemistry between these two actors.
