Ryan Reynolds has met his match, literally, in young actor Walker Scobell (in his first film role). He plays the 12-year-old version of Reynold’s character and matches his senior in comic charm and timing. Reynolds plays the adult version of a man who travels from 2050 to 2022 to save the world from the future. The interactions with the 2 actors make up the majority of the film and their chemistry is eerily identical. The action sequences are well-staged and the tech touches are cool. Director Shawn Levy uses his assured touch to keep every moment exciting, fun or sometimes heartwarming. This is an ideal opportunity for the whole family to enjoy an amusing sci-fi adventure with a delightful duo in the leads.
