Is Ryan Reynolds' sci-fi adventure a hit or miss?

The Adam Project, Netflix's new big-budget family adventure, makes its bow on the streamer this Friday (March 11) and the first reviews are in.
Not really. It wouldn't be fair to say it's had a kicking, but the general response is pretty muted.
The Hollywood Reporter's David Rooney summed it up best, calling the movie "too pedestrian to generate excitement" and questioning many of the casting choices. Indiewire's David Ehrlich wasn't keen either, saying it's an "...overly safe film that only feigns at its ambition. It feels less like a natural fit for Reynolds’ talents than an ill-fitting star vehicle for someone who’s never been less interested in stretching his limits." Ouch.
Empire's Jordan King liked it more than most, describing the sci-fi flick as "a throwback slice of escapism with plenty of heart", but he didn't feel compelled to give it more than three stars. Radio Times' Huw Fullerton struck the same tone, calling The Adam Project "...perfectly serviceable fare that will distract you from the world for an hour and 45 minutes." Not exactly a recommendation, is it?
Variety's Own Gleiberman enjoyed the film, but qualified his praise, saying: "Ryan Reynolds and Shawn Levy are going to make much better movies than this one, but you can feel the tastiness of their combo even in a kinetic marshmallow." Finally, IGN's Ryan Leston bucked the trend by offering up a tonne of praise, he called the film "Back to the Future meets The Last Starfighter with a slew of wonderful performances." It's nice to someone enjoyed it.
If the reviews haven't put you off, The Adam Project will exclusively launch on Netflix worldwide on Friday, March 11.
