Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Louis Reed (Mark Ruffalo) says that he 'gets' a student's T-shirt during a lecture, the shirt has a picture of Nicolas Cage, but the name John Travolta under it. This is a reference to the John Woo film Face/Off (1997) in which the two actors played each other's characters. Cage and Ruffalo also had collaborated on Woo's Windtalkers (2002).
- GoofsAt 1:27:09 Louis mentions the gun fires rounds that contain a magnetic steel core; so, the weapon itself should have been pulled towards the reactor at the start of the breach, considering it pulls all things magnetic towards it. This would include its contents.
- Quotes
Big Adam: Laura, this is... me.
Young Adam: Hi.
Laura: Parallel contact, babe?

Featured review
Funny, Exciting and Endearing
The Adam Project is an adventurous film in the mould of Spielberg and other '80's and 90's pics, meaning confused conversations, quick quips, great close ups and seeing the world from a child's point of view as well.
The plot is a time travel story where our main character meets his younger self, trying to fix the damage a villain inflicted, and that's all the narrative I'll share beforehand. It's well shot, well directed, well written, and well played, especially by young Adam.
It leaves us with an entertaining film that plotwise isn't surprising enough to elevate it to greatness, but a good watch nonetheless.
