In the Adam Project, time traveling pilot Adam Reed takes an unauthorized trip to the past. He means to land in 2018, but lands in 2024 instead.
Here he finds his 12 year old self living a life he resented. His father is dead, and his widowed mom is given nothing but a hard time by the twelve year old who is miserable and bullied.
He nonetheless scoops himself up, because adult Adam is too injured from the trip here (and he was fired upon by his boss as he made his way to a spot to open a time portal) and the ship won't let him fly it when he is so badly off physically. Healthy 12 year old Adam's DNA is identical, and the ship accepts him and off they go, pursued by his boss from the future.
Adult Adam's wife went back to 2018 and disappeared, and is assumed
dead. He'll do anything to find her or find out what happened to her.
It turns out his boss has played with time to her advantage, amassing wealth and power. She's used her own past self to manipulate markets and scientific advances for her own interests.
The film is light hearted and full of kid and adult pleasing action. It's fun to see young Adam somewhat awed with the adult version of himself, who he thinks is in great shape, and has a cool ship, and a wife!
The only drawback for me was I thought adult Adam was too hard on his younger self, who was already having a hard time.
