In 2050, Adam Reed (Ryan Reynolds) steals a time jet to fix a problem in the past. He winds up in 2022 and encounters his 12 year old self (Walker Scobell). His mother Ellie (Jennifer Garner) is dating a year after the death of his father (Mark Ruffalo). The two Adams are helped by his future wife Laura (Zoe Saldana) in their battle against Maya Sorian (Catherine Keener).
Ryan Reynolds is being his standard wisecracking self. Saldana is the sexy fighter. Garner is the suffering mom. I like Ryan with his younger self until it runs into a bump in the road. The younger self can't be the zen advisor to the older self. This movie is working very hard to be action-packed fun but the fighting becomes repetitive. This is a middling sci-fi action flick on Netflix that stumbles a few times. Ultimately, I figured that I won't remember this a year from now. Maybe I could steal the time jet.
