IMDb plot summary: After accidentally crash-landing in 2022, time-traveling fighter pilot Adam Reed teams up with his 12-year-old self for a mission to save the future.
Directed by Shawn Levy. Starring Ryan Reynolds, Walker Scobell, and Mark Ruffalo.
The Adam Project follows Ryan Reynolds on a journey to the past to save his killed partner -- only he miscalculates his time travel trajectory and ends up meeting his middle school-aged self. The two of them band together along with their dad, played by Mark Ruffalo, to try to stop the dark future in which an evil corporation uses time travel for their own ends. This is exactly the movie you think it is. It's got "silly Reynolds sci fi kids' movie" written all over it and follows through in every way. It doesn't break much new ground, although I quite enjoy seeing Catherine Keener as the villainess in the story. There are enough mild laughs and enough entertaining plot points to keep it spinning in the air. I guess I don't know how many more ways I can rephrase the sentence "It's fun enough, but it's just fine." So... yeah. It's that. You probably already know if you'll like it or not based on the premise. It's hard to come up with much more substantial to say about it.
