Featured reviews
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.
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.

Fun, entertaining nonsense.
Put your brain in neutral and enjoy a charismatic fun film. I'd rather watch this of an evening than the majority of boring and pretentious Oscar winners.
The performances are ideal for this type of film. It has a few surprisingly heartfelt moments and some cracking one liners. The pacing is reasonable throughout and as a refreshing change it's under two hours long!
Ok so now I'm just making up the required character length (who can't a review be precise and to the point?) with a conclusion that this film was fun and a proper old school enjoyable romp. No need to be the best film in the world just a need to be enjoyable!

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.
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.
