Ross Bonaime Collider, on the other hand, did not seem so good: “Try to bite off more than you can chew […] There is authenticity and sincerity that really works in The Adam Projectbut unfortunately it’s hidden under layers of boring sci-fi nonsense and failed attempts at humor.”
When talking about the protagonists, Peter Hammond from Deadline says: “Reynolds he never goes overboard, keeping it fun and humorous but always human and real. He has found his acting partner in Scobell, marking a memorable film debut from a child actor who never feels like a child actor. They have great chemistry.”
From IndieWire, David Erlich wrote: “This overwhelmingly overloaded show Netflix he’s so focused on trying to mix up the temporary shenanigans of ‘Back to the Future’ with the space-age heroism of ‘starwars‘, that his favorite date doesn’t sound so much like a sincere request to appreciate the present, but more like a vague threat to settle for it…or suffer the consequences.”
Chris Hagar, of Screen Rant, described the film as a “lovely fun sci-fi throwback” and praised Reynolds in his performance. He also said: “The Adam Project it’s the kind of high-profile movie that probably would have been successful at the box office, so it’s probably going to be a big hit for Netflix, giving the platform an entertaining genre film with broad appeal. Those who enjoyed the previous works of Levy and Reynolds They’ll find something to hold on to here.”
“on the surface, The Adam Project is another attempt to hook us with nostalgia. The action-packed sci-fi adventure comes straight from our childhood, and will definitely resonate with viewers of a certain age. Fortunately, it goes much deeper than that.“, wrote Ryan Leston from IGN.
On the other hand, Owen Gleibermann, from Variety said: “The real time travel in this movie goes back to the days when even action could be a vibrant form of entertainment to have a good time. ‘The Adam Project’ It’s the definition of trivial, and on the small screen it lingers longer than expected by about 15 minutes, but it’s still an unabashedly likeable and ambitious piece of filler.”
Although it received quite mixed reviews, it is up to you if you want to see this movie to find out if you agree with some or not. The Adam Project is already available in Netflix.
