• A pilot lost during a space-time journey revisits his past.

  • His meeting with his 12-year-old self and his young parents is as funny as it is rhythmic.

  • "Adam through time" mixes action and tenderness around a Ryan Reynolds at the top of his charisma.

Ryan Reynolds and director Shawn Levy are inseparable accomplices.

No sooner had they finished

Free Guy

than they found themselves for

Adam through time

, available from Friday on Netflix.

The actor embodies a pilot from the future who meets the child he was during a joyful spatiotemporal journey.

Successful special effects, good-natured jokes and multiple twists make this science-fiction comedy successful entertainment for the whole family.

"We wanted to mix adventure, humor and emotion around this family story", explains Ryan Reynolds to

20 Minutes

.

A rich idea when the hero discusses with his "me of the past" or when he makes peace with his learned father (Mark Ruffalo) or his overwhelmed mother (Jennifer Garner).

All this while trying to escape the pursuers armed to the teeth who want to neutralize him.

"The film brews all kinds of emotions," says Shawn Levy.

It invites you to accept your past in order to better move forward.

Meet his past

"Time travel has always had a great potential for fascination in the cinema", insists Shawn Levy who finds a perfect balance between intimate scenes and sequences of chases or confrontations highlighting a charismatic Ryan Reynolds at will.

“If I could advise my 30-something self, I would tell him to lean on stuntmen sooner than I did.

They are there for a good reason, ”laughs the latter.

We understand what the actor means by seeing him face awkward villains in this suspense that gives pride of place to chiseled dialogue.

The unfortunate pilot must also answer the questions of a little too clever kid who is none other than himself at 12 years old.

“If I met my past self, I would tell him that the career he's been eyeing is as great as he imagines it to be,” says Shawn Levy.

He admits that he would prefer to go to the future to "see which women will have become his daughters in 15 years".

At the end of

Adam's many eccentric adventures through time

, the viewer also finds himself wondering what he would do if he could travel to the future or the past.

A fun and discussion-generating question proving that a family fantasy can hide more than one attraction in its gags.
