A time-traveling pilot teams up with his younger self to save the future and reconcile with their late father. This is a pretty okay time travel movie. Ryan Reynolds is charming as ever and Scobell is like a carbon copy of the kid in Iron Man 3 so it works out. It comes with everything you’d expect from a time travel movie, new tech, evil future world, generic villain, glaring plot holes that they try to explain through exposition but can’t quite.
The worst was a final battle sequence that made no sense, and I’ll leave it at that to avoid spoilers. And, the pacing was really off for the first hour, really cramming everything in. I did like the retrospective look into how each of the Adam’s viewed their dad and then getting the chance to say what they wanted to him. It was probably the best part of the movie. All in all, The Adam Project is a very run of the mill time travel movie kept alive by its leads and the sentimental message.
Fresh on Hulu is directed by Mimi Cave, written by Lauryn Kahn, starring Daisy Edgar-Jones as Noa, Sebastian Stan as Steve, and Jojo T. Gibbs as Mollie. As Noa finds herself dejected by modern dating, she thinks she gets lucky when a charming man shows interest in her. It’s too little too late when she finds out about his preference for human flesh.
I liked this movie. Its very simple but because of the unusual substance matter it feels new. Sebastian Stan and Edgar-Jones share some good chemistry. It is utterly repulsive, horrifying, and a little funny at times. It doesn’t throw many curveballs and is pretty straightforward, but it is all well done. It is too long and could be cut down to 90 minutes easily. All in all, Fresh on Hulu is perplexing and a decent horror flick.
