The Adam Project (2022) follows a time travelling fighter pilot Adam Reed, who accidentally crash-lands in 2022 and teams up with his 12-year-old self for a mission to save the future. This film is so fun and really heartwarming. I found it consistently entertaining and had a great time watching it despite its flaws.
The cinematography of this film is pretty good! The camerawork used felt very professional and there's a lot of nice framing choices. I also really like the set design! In terms of visual effects, this film uses a lot of CGI. It's often used well and looks good, but nearer the end the filmmakers de-age certain actors with CGI and this unfortunately looks quite goofy.
The sound design in the film is good, but nothing outstanding. The mixing is done well and clearly and the score is fitting to the tone. However, the score does get rather repetitive and unfortunately feels very forgettable.
The actors all do a great job, but the standout is definitely Ryan Reynolds. I'm not always the biggest fan of his humour, but this movie had me laughing out loud often due to Reynolds' flawless line delivery. His character is so loveable and a fun protagonist to follow along. However, the villain isn't a strong enough character and isn't a believable threat, the character needed a lot more development.
Lastly, the movie has a fun concept and follows a fairly basic structure, but this results in an easygoing and entertaining watch. The pacing is steady and consistent, and includes a lot of heartfelt and emotional moments.
