The Adam Project Ratings & Reviews
FilmWeek (LAist)
Amy Nicholson
There's nothing as good as Back to the Future, but I think Levy finds the heart to this picture. It really works.
Consequence
Liz Shannon Miller
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.
National Newspaper Publishers Association
Dwight Brown
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.
Salon.com
Melanie McFarland
Reynolds' singular style, however, taps into a plausible, palpable sadness that The Adam Project capitalizes upon tremendously.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
I enjoyed The Adam Project, its past, present, and future permutations an exciting joyride fit for the whole family.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
Junk comprised of the spare parts of beloved genre forefathers...
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
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.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
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.
The Jewish Chronicle
Linda Marric
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.
AV Club
Brent Simon
With an overworked script that checks boxes rather than delivers compelling characters, this effort lands as perfectly bland.
ABC News
Peter Travers
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.
NPR
Glen Weldon
The film's fine - pretty good, actually.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
Funny, fast-paced and surprisingly tender.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
It's a bit messy, and the heart it yearns for at its center has mostly empty beats.
Rolling Stone
David Fear
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.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
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.
Associated Press
Lindsey Bahr
It's pretty satisfying popcorn fare with some genuinely affecting beats. All that's missing is some Harry Chapin.
New York Post
Johnny Oleksinski
Who this movie is for, I couldn't tell ya.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
"The Adam Project" isn't especially smart, but it does leave you with a warm, fuzzy feeling. Its science grade is only passing, but its emotional IQ is above average.
The Reveal
Scott Tobias
The Adam Project is what happens when you wish on a cursed monkeys paw that Hollywood would make more original movies.
