Temporal Suicide | |
| The Adam Project / int_1073a827 | comment |
Temporal Suicide: In the climax, Sorian accidentally does this. She aimed for Adam's father, but didn't account for the bungled reactor drawing the steel-cored bullet towards it, with her past self in its path. | |

Take Our Word for It | |
| The Adam Project / int_1ec3eb0a | comment |
Take Our Word for It: Outside of one scene in orbit, we never see anything of the 2050’s. At most we get Future Adam and Laura’s descriptions of it as being a Crapsack World worse than the Bad Future from The Terminator and hints that the ecosystem is in dire shape. | |

Ambiguous Situation | |
| The Adam Project / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: At the end it’s not clear how much of his adventures the Adam in the new timeline remembers. It’s stated earlier in the film that his memories would try to reconcile themselves, and Young Adam states that he can feel something happening after the climax, but he does remember to give his mother a hug. | |

Parents as People | |
| The Adam Project / int_20989d05 | comment |
Parents as People: As Ellie points out to Louis, when he's spending time with her and Adam he devotes all his time to them but when he's focusing on work he puts in the same amount of effort which means he's not around as much as he could be. As a consequence of using his anger to deal with his father's death, Future Adam forgets all the times Louis had been there for him and sees him as The Workaholic until Past Adam reminds him of how much Louis cares for them. | |

Crapsack World | |
| The Adam Project / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: 2050 is described as the opening of The Terminator on its GOOD days. Part of the reason for that may be that Maya Sorian had her younger self invest in companies that aren’t known for being environmentally friendly. | |

Magnetic Weapons | |
| The Adam Project / int_38449aae | comment |
Magnetic Weapons: With the future being so heavily influenced by an university magnetic accelerator - it's no wonder there's a boom in magnetically-based weaponry. Those future rifles shooting the glowing blue bolts aren't lasers. They're magnetic accelerators using steel-core bullets (though the pistols are just regular ballistic weapons but more futuristic-looking) plus Adam's "laser sword"/staff weapon is called a Mag-Cyl and has various electromagnetic abilities. | |

Actor Allusion: When Sorian first sics her goons on the two Adams, Young Adam glances at his older self's Mag-Cyl and quips "That's a lightsaber, dude" which is a line lifted from Free Guy. During the climax, young Adam gets to do a Three-Point Landing and gleefully whispers "superhero landing!" The box containing the Reed family's sporting items has Deadpool and Hulk stickers. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Past Adam attempts to fight off Christos using his future self's weapon, with the moment being set up like a Big Damn Heroes moment. Of course, being a weak 12 year old kid who could barely handle people his own size, he realistically doesn't stand a chance against a fully grown trained soldier and thus, gets taken out in one blow by Christos. | |

Wise Beyond Their Years: Downplayed with Young Adam. He's still very much a child and gets quite giddy at the prospect at meeting his future self, but he does have his moments of wisdom and maturity that can surprise even his future self such as realizing that future Adam hates his dad not because he did anything worthy of hatred, but because he prefers to use anger as a way to deal with the grief of his dad's death. | |

Only the Chosen May Wield: Adam's plane is DNA locked to him to the point of Awesome, but Impractical - just from being injured, the time jet rejects the owner as having compromised DNA so Future Adam needed Young Adam just to open the jet. It does make a fridge logic sort of sense; it's an anti-theft system in case the pilot were being forced to take off or give someone else access to the tech. | |

I Hate Past Me | |
| The Adam Project / int_98160158 | comment |
I Hate Past Me: Future Adam is irritated with his past self's constant questioning, seeming inability to understand the word "classified", the frequency with which his past self rifles through his personal things, and admits that his younger self has "a very punchable face" and is "abnormally small for a twelve-year-old". His biggest issue however, is the poor way his younger self treated their mother, something he said still makes him sick. | |

In Spite of a Nail | |

In Spite of a Nail: In the new timeline, Adam and Laura are still able to meet more or less the same way they did in the original. The ripple effect from the erasure of time travel wasn't enough to knock Louis off the path that lead to his death. Either that or Laura's theory about the "echoes" is correct, which would also explain the above example. | |

They also have the same twelve stitches under their chins and they're both wearing the same watch. Laura reveals that a timeship returned from 2018, yet there was no record of anyone being sent back to 2018, meaning that someone had changed the future. | |
