There's nothing as good as Back to the Future, but I think Levy finds the heart to this picture. It really works.

There are far worse ways to spend 106 minutes of your life, but The Adam Project seems likely to fade from the memories of Netflix viewers relatively quickly -- meaning it's pretty in line with most of the Netflix original films that have come before it.

| Mar 19, 2022

Possibilities for The Adam Project loomed far larger than what’s on screen. And what’s on screen is never a credit to the sci-fi genre.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 16, 2022

Even the limited charms of Ryan Reynolds (sarcasm and muscles, like a buff Matthew Perry) are no match for the ineptitude of this derivative sci-fi dud.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 15, 2022

Reynolds' singular style, however, taps into a plausible, palpable sadness that The Adam Project capitalizes upon tremendously.

| Mar 14, 2022

I enjoyed The Adam Project, its past, present, and future permutations an exciting joyride fit for the whole family.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 14, 2022

The high-concept plot is held together more by force of will (and some decent special effects) than by logic, but the core of this engaging, kid-friendly Netflix production is a big-hearted tale of broken families made good.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 13, 2022

Junk comprised of the spare parts of beloved genre forefathers...

| Mar 12, 2022

It’s an assemblage of ideas from other popular films that just hangs there with little cohesion. It’s like watching a movie that hasn’t been made yet.

| Mar 11, 2022

This is the kind of post-Goonies family-oriented schmaltz that plays very well on Netflix (see all of Stranger Things, a show sometimes directed by Levy) and not so well in cinemas.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 11, 2022

A movie with so many octopus ambitions is unlikely to pull off any of them, and that’s the bind The Adam Project finds itself in.

| Mar 11, 2022

The Adam Project manages to showcase some great performances from all involved, even if in the end they are let down by a decidedly unimaginative premise and some rather lacklustre action set pieces.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 11, 2022

With an overworked script that checks boxes rather than delivers compelling characters, this effort lands as perfectly bland.

| Original Score: C- | Mar 11, 2022

Ryan Reynolds leads an A-list cast in this Back to the Future nostalgia trip that coasts down well-worn roads instead of paving new ones with fresh imagination. But there is still fun to be this cynicism-free throwback to 80s family entertainment.

The film's fine — pretty good, actually.

| Mar 11, 2022

Funny, fast-paced and surprisingly tender.

| Mar 10, 2022

What worked for Free Guy doesn’t sustain itself here, largely because you can’t really have two Deadpools in a scene without giving yourself a headache.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 10, 2022

It's a bit messy, and the heart it yearns for at its center has mostly empty beats.

| Original Score: C+ | Mar 10, 2022

You’ll see it, possibly enjoy it, and then require your own future self to travel back, many years (or possibly even hours) from the future, and remind you that you’ve already watched it.

| Mar 10, 2022

The Adam Project has the generic feel of a project created by committee, combining action, humor and smart-alecky one-liners in a way that's at best aggressively okay.
