The Adam Project is not a perfect film, but it’s exactly the kind of film we need right now: a highly enjoyable adventure with the right dose of nostalgia and plenty of heart.

What an INCREDIBLE, thrilling Adventure that took me back to early 80’s Sci-fi features that contains a charm that is irresistible. + The heart of it all will leave you an emotional wreck.

The Adam Project will undoubtedly be a big hit for Shawn Levy, Ryan Reynolds, and Netflix. The film goes beyond its sci-fi time travel tropes and delivers some wonderful character-rich performances.

The Adam Project was very entertaining ride for the whole family. Has great character roles from Ryan Reynolds, Mark Ruffulo and new comer Walker Scobell they all have great chemistry that even in times of this being very silly it never goes off the rails

Free Guy director Shawn Levy reteams with star Ryan Reynolds for a half-hearted attempt to recapture the heyday of Amblin Entertainment, which results in one of the laziest sci-fi blockbusters in quite some time.

Wesley Lovell Cinema Sight
That’s probably all the audience should expect from a picture like this, one released direct-to-streaming for delivery of perfunctory content meant to bring eyes to the service, but not providing the level of quality one can often find at the cineplex.

Above all else, it may be the only time you'll get to see a bullet wound be the means by which to make a fart joke in a movie...so at least it's got that going for it?

Never have I heard such hyperactive dialogue so painfully lacking in wit that I often struggled to even follow the basic plot.

It's pleasures are frontloaded so by the time it reaches its generically explosive plot hole riddled conclusion, interest has long since waned.

Dan Buffa KSDK News (St. Louis)
The goal here is to make you feel good about the magic that movies can grab a hold of, even if only temporarily--and how simple father-son pathos can cue the waterworks when performed well.

At most, the screen equivalent of a really good Big Mac, and as much as you might like McDonalds, theres a reason those restaurants dont get Michelin stars.

Sean P. Means The Movie Cricket
When Levy tries to get serious and introspective, as little Adam forces Big Adam to confront the psychological pain of losing his father, the movie discovers a new kind of cinematic time travel by making the film slow to a crawl.

Whats really disappointing is that there was obviously a better movie somewhere in there, but dumb action sequences outmuscle the more successful parts of the story.

Project isn’t brimming with originality, but it knows how to fit familiar parts together in an entertaining way.
