Reynolds is reliably   embodying an onscreen persona audiences are familiar with , though he is given moments of emotional sincerity to help oneself flesh the persona out . In special , his interactions with Ruffalo and Zoe Saldana ( play Big Adam ’s wife , Laura ) are quite moving , efficiently conveying apposite information about the characters ' relationships to get audiences invested . Reynolds also has fantabulous alchemy with Scobell , a pure choice to bet a sassy - mouthed , vernal version of his case . The two fiddle off of each other very well — whether the setting foretell for striking beat or funniness ( the script has some amusing meta jokes about Reynolds ) . Turner is funnily the weakest link in the supporting cast , though that has more to do with the writing than her carrying into action . Maya come across as a two - dimensional , power - thirsty scoundrel who is just an obstacle for the Adams to overcome .

In terms of sci - fi military action , The Adam Projectdoesn’t reinvent the steering wheel ( though there are some neat visuals and concepts ) . What makes it get through is the potency of the character and their personal stories , amaze viewers indue in what ’s happening onscreen . While the Adams ' personal journeys are expectant , there is a bit of a disconnection with the larger genre patch . Issues with the storytelling stem from telling rather than demonstrate , especially as the direful 2050s succeeding Big Adam is trying to prevent is hardly shown . This negatively impacts the overall stakes a little bit , but is n’t enough to weigh the picture show down . As a time travel story and a tale about come to term with loss , The Adam Projectworks well with its degraded stride and playfulness moments .
