It seems like people either absolutely loved or vehemently hated The Adam Project, or found themselves somewhere in between. However, there seems to be one specific factor in the film that everyone can agree on: the strange use of CGI, specifically in a scene involving Oscar nominee Catherine Keener.The movie stars Ryan Reynolds as the titular Adam, a fighter pilot from a dystopian 2050 who attempts to travels back in time to the year 2018, but crash lands in 2022 and meets his 12-year-old self. Catherine Keener plays Maya Sorian, the villainous leader of the dystopian world who attempts to capture Adam and bring him back to 2050.Halfway through the film, Maya goes back in time to visit her younger self. Rather than use makeup or hairstyling to create a young Keener, the film uses CGI to project a flat, one-dimensional 'deep fake' onto Keener's face. Many took umbrage with this choice, with more viewers tweeting about the deep fake than about Keener'
