The Adam Project

You know what's wrong with this whole aggregation ranking thing? Everybody's a critic and everyone thinks that their opinion matters. And it doesn't. Not one little bit. Mine included, so you can stop reading anytime you like...

People are pissed at this movie the way they are pissed at every movie that isn't directed by Christopher Nolan and have a plot you need a PhD to understand. These people appear to have lost the ability to just...enjoy.

What anybody who watched this movie - a movie about time travel starring Ryan Reynolds - was expecting when they threw a hissy fit is totally beyond me. Did they not know what was on offer? It kinda says that on the tin. Now, if that's not gonna appeal to you, move along. Nothing for you to see here. For the rest of us - you know, those of us who haven't forgotten how to enjoy stuff an don't require everything we see to be groundbreaking and profound - The Adam Project was a smart, touching and reasonably exciting Sci Fi romp that hit all the right notes and pushed all the right buttons. Recommended.

This is fun. I definitely had a good time even if some intellectuals will say it sucks. I must admit that I'm a bit tired of Ryan Reynold, but on this one he is not as extra as usual - well, at least, sometimes - and he even gives a good performance.

This film won't change the world, but the humour landed more than I was expecting and the familiar dynamic/drama worked pretty well for me. Yeah, the villains are unidimensional and the background story is kind of generic, but this delivers what it promises, being an inoffensive fun film, reminding a lot of what we had in the past decades.

PS: Great soundtrack!

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.

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!

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.
