Adam is a funny, smart kid who gets into trouble due to his big mouth.

One night he gets a surprise visit from his older future self.

 

His future self tried to land in 2018 but ended up in 2022. Being injured he asks his 12 year old version to go with him, because his shuttle won't let him get in,not even to fix it.

 

The time travel team is coming for him. Adam jumped back in time to find out what happened to his wife who disappeared after she jumped back in time to 2018.

The logs were changed so there's definitely something fishy.

 

His father's financial partner, Sorian, seems to be at the center of all this as she did some shady things after his death.

I personally enjoyed the movie. It has heart, through the lead and the love he has for both his parents and his wife, the love of his life. I really loved the love between this couple.

I also liked how they touched upon how we tend to forget how things happened with time, and we remember things differently, like for example, the old Adam doesn’t remember his father the way he really was, due to the things he started telling himself about him.

I loved the fighting scenes, and the fact Adam’s parents’ house was in a beautiful forest .

 

The Adam Project is the name of the time travel project, as Adam’s father discovered time travel.

 

The actors were great, Walker Scobel who played Ryan's young self was great,Ryan is playing himself at this point but this shouldn't suggest his acting isn't top notch, nor that he isn't funny. I actually thought Ryan got to show more emotion in this role, and he was good at it.

The soundtrack was good.

The visual effects were good, although I thought the de-aging of Sorian was creepy .

 

The movie received mixed reviews from critics, who thought the story line and writing were bad, but enjoyed the rest.

The movie is the 3d most popular on Netflix.

Tom Cruise was first cast for the role of Adam, when the movie was supposed to shoot in 2012!

 

The movie is streaming on Netflix.
