If Adam didn’t go to flight school, he wouldn’t have met Laura when she accidentally walks into the wrong lecture.Echoes is a European research project that is leading the way on exploring sensitive issues related to the history of colonialism and its legacies within the framework of current heritage debates. While these events are blows to his ambitions, they ultimately prompt him to join the Air Force and become one of the best pilots the time-travel program ever sees. Something happens during Adam’s freshman year of college that results in his arrest and the loss of his scholarship. When Maya’s evil henchmen come looking for him, an off-the-grid Laura steps in and saves the day - she distracts the bad guys long enough that the Adams can jump to 2018 and complete their mission. But while hiding out in the garage, future Adam realizes his calculations were off and he’s jumped to 2022 instead of 2018. The two Adams meet this year - a loser middle-school Adam being raised by his widowed mother (Jennifer Garner) and a ripped time-traveling fighter pilot Adam who steals a ship to travel back in time and look for his wife. It’s about the future - and his son’s future.Īlthough an exact date isn’t stated, this is around the time when Louis dies in a car accident - which is why seeing 2018 Louis is so moving for both versions of Adam. Even though it’s been four weeks since the project launched - and he can’t believe his close collaborator Maya would ever willingly change the time stream - Louis recognizes that this is about something bigger than his own discovery. Luckily, since Louis has been working on theories of time travel throughout his career, he immediately recognizes that both Adams are telling the truth, and he works with them to take down the lab. This is also when the film’s big climax takes place: Future Adam and 2022 Adam both head to 2018 to prevent Maya from getting ahold of their father’s discovery - which ultimately involves blowing up his lab.
Ultimately, the movie is about stopping Maya’s control of time travel and preventing a very dystopian future from playing out.
But that’s not true - she’s being trapped there as a cover-up for the other key event: Louis Reed’s boss, Maya Sorian (Catherine Keener), has actually gone back in time to give her 2018 self key information that ends up changing the very fabric of time. Two other key events happen this year, too: Future Adam’s wife, Laura (Zoe Saldaña), crash-lands in the future on a time-travel mission, and she’s reported dead on reentry. His magnetic particle accelerator finally goes online, and he calls this experiment “The Adam Project.” (Yes, the title of the film!) In November of this year, Adam’s father, Louis Reed (Mark Ruffalo), makes a key discovery that is the first step toward practical time travel. Ke$ha’s “TiK ToK” topped the music charts, and Toy Story 3 made moviegoers around the world cry a whole bunch.Īdam runs into a table on the patio and gets 12 stitches in his chin, a fact that will come in handy when Ryan Reynolds’ Adam introduces himself to his younger self. The action all begins in the heady days of 2010, when Adam, played in 2022 by Walker Scobell and 2050 by Ryan Reynolds, is born. Just a warning: There are many, many spoilers ahead. But in case you want a clearer picture of how, exactly, the events that led to Adam’s big escape transpired, we’ve documented the story in chronological order below.
Just a couple of quick stops along the timeline in order to save the world! No big deal. The time-travel adventure skips around through the 21st century, with our titular hero landing in 20 before returning to his rightful place in the future. The Adam Project begins in the year 2050, but the events of the film take place decades before then.
