The Collateral Damages

Their significant chase gave away too much collateral damage of which Adam and his wife Laura were unmoved. They literally came from the future and wreaked havoc along with Maya, in the past, killing and injuring many civilians on their way to the safe house. However, they did not feel bothered about their merciless chase, which was not cool.

The Last Action Sequence

The Adams and their father when headed for their ultimate course of action i.e, destroying the project on time travel, in 2018, had such potential. But it totally seemed a typical kids movie where the good fight the evil with impractical action stunts and vice versa. This episode genuinely ruined the grave plot built up till then. It seemed undemanding and very much predictable.

The Direction

The entire movie was too good, thus it became pretty prominent when the direction ran poorly and turned kiddish in some parts. It felt convenient sometimes while being appalling as well.

Also, a jet with modern technology wreaks havoc in the middle of a traffic-loaded road, not bothered by any government officials at all. Don’t you think they just overlooked and ignored the part of the officials here?
