The Adam Project is the top movie on Netflix, and Ryan Reynolds’ first blockbuster for them that’s scoring well with critics.
Netflix has a new #1 movie this weekend, The Adam Project, a new science fiction film where a time traveling fighter pilot, played by Ryan Reynolds, lands in 2022 and has to team up with his younger self to save the world. If a big new movie starring Ryan Reynolds on Netflix is starting to feel familiar, that’s because the service has invested in Reynolds in a big way. Only this time, something’s different. Out of three huge movies Reynolds has made for Netflix, this is the first one that has landed positive reviews from critics. The biggest movie in Netflix history is Red Notice, where Reynolds was part of a trio of stars that also included Gal Gadot and The Rock. It beat out all past Netflix hits, including the likes of Bird Box, but critics didn’t like it, rating it a 36% on Rotten Tomatoes, miles away from the movie’s 92% audience score.
