Review of The Adam Project (2022) by Soulwarfare — 18 Mar 2022

A surprisingly entertaining time travel, sci-fi, popcorn flick with Ryan Reynolds who is still playing himself and a kid, Walker Scobell, who is good at playing a young Ryan Reynolds. The banter between the two is extremely enjoyable and some of the funniest moments in the film. It's not just all comedy though and there are some genuinely moving moments with the dad and mom played by Mark Ruffalo and Jennifer Garner respectively. Likewise, Zoe Saldana gives a strong performance despite her very brief appearance in the movie. Another aspect I appreciate is that the movie doesn't use shaky cam or overly edits the action sequences which is just a blessing on the eyes.

However, the CGI is quite bad and there are a lot of very noticeable green screen. For some reason they also don't use actual explosions but CG explosions which just looks lame. I am also a little annoyed that the 2050 soldiers who have these futuristic guns, yet the bullets still act like a normal modern day gun. Could've tried to be a bit more creative...

Overall, if you want something entertaining to watch for about 100 minutes then this is definitely a good film to watch.
