Adam Project
Director: Sean Levy
Cast: Ryan Reynolds, Walker Scobel, Mark Ruffalo
When you go on a James Bond adventure, you know full well that it’s pure belief. What Bond does and achieves is by no means humanly possible. Still, you sit through it – the latest, No Time to Die, is 156 minutes long! – Maybe with a bag of popcorn, crunching it so loudly that the person next to you whispers, and let yourself fall into the world of fantasy. Ryan Reynolds’ latest outing, The Adam Project, which is now on Netflix, may not work like a Bond thriller, but it has all the trappings. And, this is science-fiction stuff.
Already in two of Netflix’s biggest entertainers, Red Notice and 6 Underground, Reynolds is Adam in his latest film, directed by Sean Levy (Stranger Things, Real Steel, Night at the Museum). It starts in 2050 and goes back and forth with two other goalposts, 2018 and 2022.
There are some in-depth observations to make of what appears to be an adventure in time travel, The Adam Project. It talks about illegal offshore accounts (remember the Panama Papers?) .
The film begins with 12-year-old Adam Reid (a cheerfully mischievous Walker Scobel) trying to recover from the death of his father, Louis Reid (Mark Ruffalo), in an accident a year earlier. Now, she and her mother (Jennifer Garner) are what family is all about. And, then life takes a dramatic, almost magical turn.
When Adam goes to his garage one night while his mother is out on a date with her colleague, he finds an injured pilot hiding there. Surprise, surprise, the man turns out to be an older version of the boy Adam sometime in the future, where time travel is just beginning.
The pilot risks his life to fix things, save the planet from the dangers of time travel, and perhaps embark on a secret journey into the past to find his father.
Despite the action sequences choreographed with breathtaking beauty, the film is a tale of love, loss and coming to terms with the inevitability of life in the end. The two – Boy Adam and Man Adam – cross obstacles one after another, consisting of men and women who want to stop the two from completing their missions. Both want to destroy time travel, and here we have an important message for mankind. You can well guess what it could be.
Written in 2012 by Jonathan Tropper, TS Nowlin, and Jennifer Flackett, The Adam Project was filmed in Vancouver (Canada), and there’s a lot of it, until you try and find a logical explanation. And, of course, it’s a lot of fun watching Adams dodge his enemies. Never a dull moment, really, never.
