The preteen version of the titular character uses hi-tech weapons to fight enemy robots in a climax sequence in the sci-fi action adventure “The Adam Project” (Netflix). This, like several other aspects of filmmaker Shawn Levy’s movie, is intended to appeal to the lad’s friends in the audience.

In this story about time travel, there are two Adams. Adam (Ryan Reynolds) is an adult who lives in 2050. When he arrives in the present, he teams up with his 12-year-old self (Walker Scobell) to prevent a future problem for humanity.

The picture features stylized mainly violence with little gore, a scene of marital sensuality, a scene of marital sensuality, several profanities, countless milder oaths, as well as a significant amount of harsh and crass language.

CAPSULE REVIEW

This sci-fi action adventure is ruined by a smart-alecky tone in which a time traveler (Ryan Reynolds) from the year 2050 arrives in the present and teams up with his 12-year-old counterpart (Walker Scobell) to prevent a future problem for humanity.

Some positive themes regarding family bonding are hidden behind the flip dialogue (with parents Mark Ruffalo and Jennifer Garner). However, director Shawn Levy’s film is mature fare thanks to a storyline filled with filthy phrases.

Mostly stylistic violence with little gore, a scene of marital sensuality, a scene of marital sensuality, several profanities, countless milder oaths, and a lot of harsh and crass language Adults are classified as A-III by the Catholic News Service.
