A smart-alecky tone mars this Netflix sci-fi action adventure in which a time traveler (Ryan Reynolds) from the year 2050 arrives in the present where he teams with his 12-year-old self (Walker Scobell) to nip a future problem for humanity in the bud.
Behind the flip dialogue are some positive messages about family bonding (with parents Mark Ruffalo and Jennifer Garner). But a script studded with vulgar expressions makes director Shawn Levy’s film grown-up fare.
Watch out for: Mostly stylized violence with little gore, a scene of marital sensuality, several profanities, numerous milder oaths, considerable crude and crass language.
Rated: A-III — adults. MPAA: PG-13.
