Adam the First

It started with promise and Duchovny was great. But after the first 20mins and the setup it just got worse and worse, scene by scene.

Other than Duchovny there wasn't much good acting, the dialogue and the reaction from Adam was bizarre and just didn't make much sense. Very poor writing and directing.

It really did seem like the writter/director had a begging for a film and that was it, they just winged it from there on.

You really just start wishing the film will end. Then to make things worse it breaks down into a vomit inducing musical number for the final scene.

There is really no need to waste time watching this.

I just watched this movie Adam the first 2024 and expected so much more than what I saw.

It was extremely boring to watch this poor boy Adam go through his journey to find his father and ending up finding his mother.

The movie ends with a very shallow ending leading the viewers hanging.

N then t ends at 7 minutes and the Epilogue is after the credits and should be before the credits, cuz viewers don't watch credits n by putting the Epilogue after the credits no one will wait or will ever see them.

It seems like all 2024 movies are retro but if ur gonna do retro then do it right not like this very sad version.

All movies have a happy ending and you messed it up for sure!

Maybe you need to hire me cuz I'm a freelance screenwriter artist n work for GOFOBO n IMDB.

Think about it u need me cuz you're failing at this point!

Good luck n I'm deleting this video now...not worth the gigabits on my computer.

Adam (Oakes Fegley) has been raised in the woods by his not-father James (David Duchovny). They are tracked down and raided by bounty hunters. James and his girlfriend are killed. Before dying, James gives Adam his real father's name and three addresses. Adam sets out to find him.

I don't like Adam and that's as simple as that. I stop caring about him, his quest, and his happily ever after. He is one of those annoying teenage boys who don't think beyond his two feet. The actor is also doing the hesitation while being boldly secure at other times. I really got annoyed with the first Jacob Watterson. If Jacob is a real criminal, he would have told the kid to f off. I couldn't take his patience with the kid. I understand the performance and the writing. I just don't like it.

This one will tear your heart out. It waits until the end, though. I like how they managed to build it up, and keep you guessing, until the very end when they just slam it down on ya in the most unexpected way. I mean, I went into this knowing that it was going to be sad and tragic, but it ended up being so much more than I could've ever imagined. The ending is genuinely shocking.

It starts out pretty disgusting. It fools you into thinking this is going to be a different kind of movie than it turns out to be. I wouldn't say it was perfect. There were moments where it just rushed and skipped over a whole lot, and it felt a bit jarring when it did that. Also, there are some parts which were a little bit of stretch, like what happens to his grandfather. It's just a movie, though. Overall, it turned out pretty good.

I felt that Mr. X Files did a decently convincing job. It certainly didn't seem like the sort of role he would play. I thought he felt a little bit off, but did an adequate job. Considering how much of a mess he managed to avoid, I think it was a good performance. The woman playing the wife, though. She should go back to waiting tables. Fortunately, this experience was brief enough, and the rest makes up for it.

The men who played his not-the-father did a really good job, all of them. The scenery and set design was all very immersive and believable. The ambiance of his surroundings played a strong role in how I felt about the situation. I grew up around some of that, and thought it all felt really convincing. I would say they got it pretty accurate, alright.

Oakes, however, did the most amazing job. He's always been such a good actor, and really good at endearing himself to the audience, and making you care about him. He can break your heart with just his facial expression, alone. Or, he can make himself so incredibly charming with his smile. He has some real talent, and he did a phenomenal job in this film. He kept me captivated from beginning to the very end. I can't wait to see more movies starring him. I sure hope they make some, soon.

If, like I did, you're thinking you might find this movie boring, then let me assure you that it was never a dull moment. It had car chases, armed robberies, and police escapes throughout. The whole thing is very scenic, and at times hideous, and other times beautiful. I kinda felt like Oakes was a little too pretty for this role, but I'm NOT complaining. He sure got really good looking in a hurry. I remember watching that interview he did after the Goldfinch and being blown away by how much he changed. Well, he did not disappoint.

I highly recommend this movie as one that'll keep you guessing until the very end, and leave you surprised and awestruck. The ending really caught me off guard. I'd like to see you try and keep those tears inside. Yeah, you just try it. I found that I couldn't possibly steel myself against all that. It turned out to be quite a story. I'll bet you'll enjoy it a lot more than you think you will.

Lush cinematography and a great script make for an excellent movie. The characters are believable and seem real. The film was made in Mississippi and showcases much of the natural beauty that the state offers. The wardrobe is interesting and fits the script well. The characters' hair and makeup are expertly done.

I have ADHD and this movie was so well made that it kept my attention focused the entire time. The storyline is interesting and keeps you wondering what is going to happen next. The movie is full of great actors such as David Duchovny, Oakes Fegley, Larry Pine, Kernesha Steele and many more.
