More Detail:
The movie opens with Adam Reed flying a stolen time travel jet through a wormhole while being chased by two other time jets. Adam ends up in 2022 outside his widowed mother’s house next to some woods. His mother is out on a date, but his 12-year-old self is there at the house with the family dog. After some conversation, the boy figures out that the man is really himself, from the future.
Big Adam has been shot, so his time machine jet won’t work for him because the key fob is keyed to his DNA. However, Young Adam can use the key to let Big Adam onto the jet so he can trigger the jet’s self-repair mechanism.
Young Adam’s father was killed in an accident 18 months ago. Big Adam must travel to 2018 to stop his father from creating time travel. He tells Young Adam that their father’s partner, a female billionaire named Maya Sorian, took his father’s time travel wormhole generator after he died and made herself rich and powerful. As a result, she turned 2050 into a terrible place. To top it off, she had Adam’s wife, Laura, killed when Laura tried to go back in time to destroy the nascent time travel technology.
Maya and her time travel soldiers are hot on Big Adam’s trail, however. The two Adams must avoid being captured by them, or worse, so Big Adam can travel to 2018. An exciting, thrilling adventure ensues. The movie also has many funny lines in it, many of them coming from Ryan Reynolds, who plays Big Adam.
THE ADAM PROJECT is one of the most entertaining movies Netflix has released yet. It has many exciting twists and terrific action scenes. The music is excellent, and the dialogue is often hilarious.
THE ADAM PROJECT has a strong moral, pro-family worldview. The movie’s pro-family themes are very touching. It becomes clear that the father loves his wife and son, even though he gets too wrapped up in his work. It’s also clear that Big Adam loves his wife, Laura.
However, the movie’s moral worldview is marred by some antinomian or lawless/immoral behavior. For example, as usual, Ryan Reynolds has a tendence to utter many expletives. Thus, THE ADAM PROJECT has a gratuitous amount of foul language. Also, there’s one scene where Big Adam makes a lewd comment in front of the 12-year-old boy, who isn’t fazed by the comment. So, MOVIEGUIDE® advises extreme caution for THE ADAM PROJECT, which should have been able to get a higher acceptability rating.
