Actuación

Sin dudas no es el mejor trabajo de Ryan Reynolds, sin embargo, logra ser el de mejor desempeño en este film, básicamente es el personaje que en su totalidad recae el peso de toda la trama, sin duda de lo mejor en cuanto a este ámbito.

Zoe Saldaña por su parte interpreta a un personaje que pareciera que los guionistas introdujeron a la fuerza para darle algo de sentido y sentimentalismo al film, no es un personaje con el que haya sentido mucha empatía, sin embargo, logra el objetivo que es darle sentido a un argumento donde las emociones y esos lazos familiares son lo más fuerte.

Para Mark Alan Ruffalo tampoco es de sus mejores presentaciones, interpreta a un personaje bastante cómodo para este actor, incluso pareciéndose bastante a Dr Banner del universo cinematográfico de Marvel, es un personaje indudablemente adaptado a este actor.

Me ha agradado la actuación del joven protagonista Walker Scobell, siendo ese niño “nerd” que es agradable en la pantalla, un poco molesto en ocasiones, pero debemos tener en cuenta las situaciones por la cual atraviesa su personaje, algo psicológicamente comprensible pero que trasmite de cierta manera un heroísmo agradable para los más pequeños de la casa.

Opinión Final

Aunque desde mi perspectiva este film tiene varios fallos el objetivo primordial de la producción se cumple en cuanto a entretenimiento, quizás en una dosis menos esperada, pero logra captar y mantener la atención del espectador. Pienso que los efectos especiales y el reparto se sobreponen a la estructura argumental y a la narrativa de la película, algo que es perdonable en una película familiar.

Pienso que lo que anuncia Netflix con bombos y platillos a veces nos deja esa sensación de que pudo ser mejor, conocemos muy buenas producciones de Netflix como No Mires Arriba, sin embargo, varias de esas películas engrosadas por su publicidad a mi parecer dejan que desear al espectador.

¿La Recomiendo?

Proyecto Adam es una película para verla en familia y comer golosinas, no debemos esperar mucho del film desde la lógica ni de su estructura para dejarnos atrapar en su historia simple pero efectiva, una película con un entretenimiento que puede interesante para gran parte del público, exhibiendo un reparto de alto nivel y buenos efectos visuales, pero llegando hasta allí.

The Adam Project

[English Version]

Hello Hivers movie and series lovers, very often I put on the table productions that many of us catalog as "commercial" being of special features for a wide number of viewers, this kind of movies usually have a gigantic budget to develop that story that catches the largest number of eyes possible, today I want to write about a new Netflix movie that many of us were waiting to see, its name is Project Adam and has been in the last days in the top positions regarding the most viewed movies within this platform, is it that good?, as always I will try to answer that question under my personal opinion, let's start!

This American film has a running time of just over 100 minutes, a relatively short production compared to other American commercial films. It has a mix of genres where science fiction with time jumps is imposed, in combination to action and adventures, all put together in a familiar product with the "made in America" seal implanted everywhere.

Synopsis:

Adam Reed is a man who travels back in time from the year 2050 on a personal mission, his time jump takes him to 2022 where wounded, he seeks refuge in the only place he knows, his own home where his 12 year old self lives, both will try to unravel the mystery that covers time travel.

Family Film

The first thing you notice is that it is a family movie, as if to sit on the couch with the kids in front of the TV, something that happened more often in previous years than today. This is a movie where the teenage audience can sit and watch quietly, it is a simple story easy to understand and with intense visual effects, recognized actors and a youthful protagonist.

All this set of characteristics mixed with a salad of genres that reminds us of other quite famous movies about time in cinema, making nods to movies of the 80's like star wars and back to the future.

Science Fiction

The plot is dominated by these two aspects that in particular I always enjoy in movies, it is one of my favorite themes in cinema and I think they are one of the most eligible topics for commercial productions, every film where one of these aspects is observed immediately attracts my attention.

This production introduces us immediately in that science fiction, catches us from the first scenes to then begin with the development or the foundations of the argument. We will observe the typical ships and even weapons that are part of the world of fantastic cinema wrapped in a technologically superior future, I must say that within this aspect there is not much innovation or even some very fresh ideas that make this film stand out from this genre. Instead of opening up to innovation the film aims at the nostalgia of older audiences by showing those nods to 80's productions.

Time Travel

I have written in other opportunities that the logical argument regarding time travel is always complicated, commercial movies usually get into absurd paradoxes in the development of the story, however, this is one of the aspects that I always keep an eye on in each movie.

When looking for logic about time travel such as the butterfly effect, changes in the timeline or the existence of the multiverse, Project Adam seems to slap us in the cheek, trampling all logic and giving us an absurd resolution to all this scientific framework. With such a basic logical plot my perception of the film is that it targets a younger audience than I assumed.

If we look at films like Back to the Future that logic about time was what caused the real fascination about the film, Project Adam seems to focus solely on showing off the special effects bought with a very heavy checkbook. That definitely caused the rating in my opinion to lose a few points.

High Budget Film

According to various sources on the web, this film had a budget of around 220 million dollars, a rather high sum for this film. In my reviews I rarely make reference to the budget, however, having 220 million in the pocket will always be a feature that many will place on a scale, in my opinion there are better films with a fraction of that budget, but in the end this will be determined by the experts and of course, the profits generated by this type of film.

In my opinion this amount is excessive for the quality of the film presented to us, I think it does not end up being a film with a clear identity and without a clear objective (audience), being a family film but quite childish from my point of view. Although it is difficult to estimate the performance of these movies in the streaming service, I think it would not have a very significant impact in theaters, from my opinion it lacks many aspects that could make it stand out.

Acting

Undoubtedly it is not the best work of Ryan Reynolds, however, it manages to be the best performance in this film, basically it is the character that in its entirety falls the weight of the entire plot, certainly the best in this area.

Zoe Saldaña plays a character that seems that the screenwriters introduced by force to give some sense and sentimentality to the film, it is not a character with whom I have felt much empathy, however, achieves the goal that is to make sense of a plot where emotions and those family ties are the strongest.

For Mark Alan Ruffalo is not one of his best performances either, he plays a character quite comfortable for this actor, even resembling Dr Banner from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it is a character undoubtedly adapted to this actor.

I liked the performance of the young protagonist Walker Scobell, being that "nerdy" kid who is nice on the screen, a little annoying at times, but we must take into account the situations through which his character goes through, something psychologically understandable but that transmits in a certain way a pleasant heroism for the smallest of the house.

Final Opinion

Although from my perspective this film has several flaws the primary objective of the production is fulfilled in terms of entertainment, perhaps in a less expected dose, but it manages to capture and hold the viewer's attention. I think the special effects and cast overpower the plot structure and narrative of the film, something that is forgivable in a family film.

I think that what Netflix advertises with hype sometimes leaves us with that feeling that it could have been better, we know very good Netflix productions like Don't Look Up, however, several of those movies swelled by their advertising in my opinion leave the viewer to be desired.

Do I recommend it?

Project Adam is a movie to watch with the family and eat candy, we should not expect much from the film from the logic or its structure to let us get caught in its simple but effective story, a film with an entertainment that can be interesting for much of the public, exhibiting a high level cast and good visual effects, but getting there.
