Not anymore, I found you — Ryan Reynolds, The Adam Project
Perspective into Review
Can we talk about Ryan Reynold’s ability to upscale even the lamest of plots? It’s like he has this charm where he can be himself in any role, and it just fits perfectly. He can be a half-dead immortal anti-hero, an NPC dimwit, or just a dad. His ability to stay genuine is an amazing trait that’s also adaptable to any situation.
The Adam Project, quite poetic with its name, is a movie about time travel in a nut shell, but I’m pleasantly surprised to say that it’s a lot more than that. Normally, I’d never want to review such a film, but I gotta say it, Ryan won me over again.
Even though it’s a story that’s been done over and over again, it’s really a story about what it means to be a child and a dad.
Adam is a kid who’s lost his father, and he doesn’t exactly know what that means. Of course, he feels the loss, but it’s really about that means for his personal development and relationship with his mother.
