Yet another Ryan Reynolds Netflix film, they do seem to be churning them out pretty quick lately. This time a time travel Sci-Fi film with some good action and more laughs. Accidentally travelling back to today from 2050 he meets up with himself as a young boy.
Seems to have ideas from quite a few time travel films but the main fun is the humour to be had between the Young and older Adam. It has a decent budget, although the Cgi for a young version of the villian looks more computer game level.
Overall it's a fun film with some touching moments with a fairly straight forward plot. Ryan Reynolds again raising quite a few laughs to put a smile on your face.

David McK (3562 KP) rated Elevation (2024) in Movies
Mar 9, 2025 (Updated Mar 9, 2025)
2024 post-apocalyptic action movie, that comes across as a hybrid of Aliens and (maybe) "A Quiet Place", and that stars Anthony Mackie in a post-Falcon, pre-Captain America (movie) role alongside Morena Baccarin and set in a not-too-distant future where creatures have emerged from underground, have more or less wiped out mankind yet will not - for some unknown reason - ever travel above a certain elevation.
With his son sick and running out of life-saving medicine, Mackie's character Will resolves to travel 'below the line' to the nearest hospital, alongside his now-deceased wife's best friend and the woman whom he blames for said wife's death, in an attempt to procure more medicine and return back home with the same.
Film has a mid-credit scene, that sets up where the sequel (if it comes!) will go!

This is my go to app. I have a lot of family around the world and when you can't travel this helps keep up with family and friends. I can see pics and videos and really feel like I can be there when in reality I'm not. I have watched people from relationships, kids grow up, and all kinds of stuff on here. Love it!!!

I couldn't get into the book at first, but once I did it was fast paced. Levin blends hard science, with sci-fi fantasy very well. Anyone who loves time travel, sci-fi and secret agents will love this book. It also has some graphic sex scenes. I hope there is a sequel. I received an ARC copy from #NetGalley for an voluntary, honest review.

this is a retelling of the polar bear king. where a girl must live with the prince(who was turned into a bear, but only during the day) and not find out he is human for a year. she ruins it then must travel to the end of the worlds to find and rescue him. it's a great retelling and I enjoyed the added aspects of God's.

I really liked this book. I was thoroughly pulled in by the characters and the deeper thoughts about life, time, science, and the pursuit of knowledge. I felt it was really well done and the pacing was spectacular. I was not bored during this book and it gave me some wonderful ideas in how to treat the Time Travel genre with care and fun!

This is a very different kind of travel writing. Not only is there experience, but there is also a lot of history and so much can be learnt about the colonisation of India by the British and what happened after the British left. There are moments when experiences tug of your heartstrings, make you mad and make you happy. It's written very well, and highly recommended.
