This was just delightful.

Reminded me of Real Steel, which is another Levy movie.

Only real non-spoiler nitpick is there is some laughably bad cgi face replace going on that looks 10+ years outdated.

Yeah the face CGI looked about 10 years ago.

Nice simple feel good story.

I just finished watching this. Out was really enjoyable. A great mix of sci•fi and jokes, with some mush thrown in for good measure.

Watched this with my daughter tonight, really enjoyed it. Nothing special, just an entertaining movie. My dad died from cancer in 2018 so of course I was fighting back tears multiple times throughout.

My mom died when I was 17. I was just telling my wife the other day how I really regret how shitty I spoke to my mom and it eats at me years later.

When old Adam is ripping into young Adam about how he treats his mom it just gutted me heh.

Was satisfying, but was so.... dumb. Not even dumb, but yeah.... dumb in the best possible way; just not complex whatsoever and that's a real good thing. You don't need a mental pencil and scrapbook to keep up with the various time jumps, plot points, or hidden surprises. It's like Tenet only in the completely other direction as far as demanding that the viewer be able to mentally juggle all sorts of wonky time "moments". 100% heart, 0% needing to put on your time-travel-in-a-modern-movie hat. Solid feel good movie.

This movie is not good. It's just as uninspired and boring as Free Guy. I was hoping for an homage to all those movies from the 80s I loved growing up. This movie was not that.

Its contrived, the pacing is just entirely wrong, and watching a 12 year old kid try to act like adult Ryan Reynolds is just weird... and jarring. Stranger Things still the only mainstream media that's gotten that old feeling right. Outside of B movie stuff like Turbo Kid, which is way better than this.

Also, holy shit is that de-aging CGI bad

The first part of the movie had that 80s vibe. It felt like we were about to embark on this cool adventure with the two Adams going to the ship. Then they put the ship on self repair, go back, and the wife shows up. From then on the movie is just streamlined and completely lost that 80s vibe.

All that being said, it’s successful at being a dumb but fun movie. It was good for what it was but failed to live up to the promise it showed early on.
