Noticed this on Netflix the other day. Starring Ryan Reynolds, Zoe Saldana, Mark Ruffalo, and Jennifer Garner. Three of those names I knew, and the fourth one seemed familiar as well, so I figured it would be a decent production. The synopsis was appealing to me as well.
"A time-traveling pilot teams up with his younger self and his late father to come to terms with his past while saving the future."
So we gave it a go yesterday. It was alright. Not as spectacular as I hoped it would be. Got the impression that the budget was significantly less than one would expect when throwing those stars in a movie together. Not that the quality of the effects was bad, but the story could have used some extra efforts. For some reason I was drawn to make a comparison with the original Total Recall movie, the one featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Not because of the story, but because of the face of the actress who played the Maya Sorian character, Catherine Keener. It reminded me of that scene where Arnold tries to slip past a security checkpoint wearing a fake head. Anyway, when I compare the plot of the movies to each other, The Adam Project feels rather hollow. Still, it's entertaining enough to give it a watch, if you're starving for entertainment.
