The Adam Project

Genre: Sci-fi Available: Friday 11 March Runs: 106min TVSW says: Stranger Things meets Doctor Who

One of Netflix’s most-anticipated films of the year makes its bow on Friday when Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds plays Adam, a time traveller who returns to his past, in heart-warming family sci-fi drama The Adam Project.

As the film begins, we find bullied 12-year-old Adam Reed (Walker Scobell) still grieving the sudden death of his father (Mark Ruffalo) a year earlier.

When he walks into the family garage one night, he finds a wounded pilot hiding out by his dad’s old things. The mysterious man turns out to be the older version of Adam from the year 2050, where time travel is in its infancy.
