The Adam Project debuts on Netflix on March 11, 2022.
There are some movies that stick with you from the moment you first see them. The Last Starfighter is one of mine. Growing up in the ‘80s, I knew the importance of an arcade high score and The Last Starfighter was the ultimate in sci-fi wish fulfillment. Many of us kids of that time dreamed of becoming a Starfighter. We watched Flight of the Navigator and E.T. in the hopes that we would one day get to experience an epic sci-fi adventure of our very own.
The Adam Project is this generation’s The Last Starfighter.
Ryan Reynolds stars as Adam Reed, a futuristic fighter pilot who’s stolen a time jet in order to leap back in time and save the woman he loves. It’s a neat, simple concept that’s made into something greater when he’s shot down mid-time-jump and ends up several years off course… and only his younger self (Walker Scobell) can help him get back on track.
Back to the Future (1985)
E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
Flight of the Navigator (1986)
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989)
The Last Starfighter (1984)
Tron (1982)
That clash of personalities extends to The Adam Project’s design choices, too, as director Shawn Levy walks an interesting line between ultra-futuristic and comfortably retro. It’s perhaps to be expected from a filmmaker who has brought us both Stranger Things and Free Guy, but the marrying of two different styles works incredibly well.
Future Adam’s plight has a lot in common with Minority Report as he desperately tries to alter his own destiny, aided by his ultra-futuristic, DNA-locked tech from a sleek and shiny future. But for young Adam, it’s more of an ‘80s romp.
The mysterious spacecraft crash in the woods behind his home has distinct Flight of the Navigator vibes, with Adam keeping his time-traveling secret from his mother like Elliott from E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Tugging at our nostalgia strings is the aim of the game here, and it works so well. Thankfully, it’s a lot more than that, with a stylish take on futuristic time travel that works incredibly well.
The Adam Project is also packed full of impressive action sequences. The fight scenes are furiously simple yet beautifully effective… and while future Adam may not admit that his energy stick weapon is a lightsaber, it really kind of is. And even though young Adam is no fighter, he too gets his time to shine with an impressively manoeuvred drone takedown that compliments future Adam’s fisticuffs.
Reynolds is in the best form we’ve seen in a long while.

The Adam Project is an absolute delight for those of us who lived through the ‘80s… or for those who wish they had. Its retro-futuristic stylings are kept in check by a laser-sharp script and some truly wonderful exchanges between Reynolds and his younger self, Scobell. Throw in a handful of epic action scenes and an almost-lightsaber and The Adam ...
The Adam Project is a thoughtful, witty mash-up of all the movies from my childhood. It’s Back to the Future meets The Last Starfighter with a slew of wonderful performances from a cast that clearly loves the concept as much as I do. Ryan Reynolds is on top form as Adam, while Walker Scobell matches him punch for punch with a great debut performanc...
