Featured reviews
Honestly, this movie feels how movies used to be when they were better. Some of these negative reviews on here really make me sad, because obviously the people writing don't want to have fun or are "too cool" for a feel good movie. It's a great family movie, drawing inspiration from a handful of classics before it such as Flight of the Navigator and Back to the Future but also keeping it fresh with great special effects and cinematography. It's also a tear jerker... and reminded me of how a lot of movies used to be made to trigger a positive emotional response, something that is missing completely from most modern cinema.
A movie hasn't made me feel this way in a long time. I felt like a kid again watching it. I'm not "too cool" for this movie. It rocks. Great cinematography, acting, script, comedy and drama. It's a great all ages movie. It's a rare thing to get one like this during "dark times". In my opinion, we need more like this more than ever right now.

This was a very confusing one. Is it made for kids? Because if so, I'm not sure they would understand this movie. Some of the concepts are a little complex. And if it was made for adults, then this type of humor was way too childish. It's clearly another quick cash grab from Netflix that's trying to appeal to everyone and yet doesn't quite appeal to anyone.
The production of this is quite good. The fact that they shot this during Covid is even more amazing. The acting is top notch, especially Ryan R. And Jennifer G. The scene at the bar is truly moving.
As others have noted, you really need to watch this movie with your brain shut off. Too many plot holes. At the same time, the storyline is somehow both super basic yet also very confusing and complicated. Not even sure how they managed to do that one.
Definitely a one time watch for when you're bored and there's nothing else to watch.

I cried a little, I laughed a little, I had a good time. The storyline is well developed and while a complicated concept it's handled well. The characters are well cast and well acted. Some hokey CGI but it doesn't detract too much.
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.
