The Adam Project movie review: Ryan Reynolds, Mark Ruffalo's Netflix film is a flimsy time-travel teenybopper

The Adam Project on Netflix can best be described as the Marvel-ization of time travel. In essence, this means that #ShawnLevy’s film is both a parody of the genre and an extension of it at once Language: English Less than fifteen minutes into The Adam Project, there’s a Marvel joke. It’s a Reynolds-esque quip, but also one that speaks to the larger identity of The Adam Project – a sci-fi picture that can best be described as the Marvel-ization of time travel. The Adam Project initially hinges on Adam’s mission to go back in time to rescue his late wife, Laura, from dying in the future. For instance, a child decides to hug his mother before leaving for school – all it took was a thrilling journey back in time with his older self to meet his dad one last time and save the world, which is sort of a fantasy metaphor for a psychological coming-of-age journey for a kid who’s just lost a parent.. Or a young woman instantly liking the sarcastic man sitting next to her during a training session – all he had to do was change the entire course of history to arrive at this moment.
