2/5
In lampooning naffness without enough laughs, it veers perilously close to actually being naff. Go to Full Review

Why isn't martial arts star Scott Adkins a bigger deal? Go to Full Review
Steven Warner In Review Online 06/05/2021
The Intergalactic Adventures of Max Cloud [is] a tongue-in-cheek misfire that only accomplishes in prolonging [Scott Adkins'] tenure in direct-to-video purgatory. Go to Full Review

On the whole, if you're looking to switch off your brain and soak up some Nineties video gaming nostalgia then Max Cloud is certainly worth a watch. Go to Full Review

Rebecca S 02/17/2024 Were the actors really getting paid for that kind of quack story? Everything seems forced, actors themselves look bored....I can understand, that they need to earn a livin , too....but I really would not want that one on my vita.....save your money and time. See more JC's Scatter-Brained T 04/12/2023 Given the budget, and some conditions, this film being at the quality it was for sci-fi, as well as awesome acting performances from everyone involved, 'Max Cloud' did fantastic! It couldn't show everything, but for a low-budget video (game) feature film, they got a lot out of it. See more 10/06/2021 Great retro fun! Sally Collett is very funny - and I loved the action sequences as computer games. See more 04/04/2021 Really corny riff on Jumanji or Last Starfighter, but there are a bunch of fun bits, and it's nice to see how lovingly they recreated the old-school side scrolling video games of the 90s. See more 02/03/2021 In this 80's/90's style epic we meet Sarah an extreme video game enthusiast and her game of choice, The Intergalactic Adventures of Max Cloud. Sarah however plays way too much for her dad Tony's liking which leads him to grounding her from the game right when she stumbles on an in game easter egg. When she goes to sleep the game appears to take a life of it's own and transports Sarah into the game. When she awakes she learns she is in the body of a playable character in the game, now is tasked with teaming up with Max Cloud and friends to fight their way through the intergalactic prison they've crashed on to complete the game and presumably escape game to return home. While intrenched in this battle Sarah's character is controlled by her partner in crime, Cowboy, who discovers the truth of Sarah while playing the game in her room back in Brooklyn. Everything this film set out to do was accomplished to a tee. This film never once tries to take itself seriously which to me is a pro in this movie. Everything here was made by it's design, from the cheesy dialog to the over the top stereotypes and action sequences. The sets were perfect really putting you in the game. The fight sequences looked the part of The Power Rangers and you guessed it, it was the intent and aim of the filmmaker. This is an amazing turn your brain off feature where nostalgia is king bringing you back to more simpler times. Quite honestly the fun filled ride that did my soul good given the current atmosphere in the world. See more 01/16/2021 Very Well Done MAX CLOUD i.e Scott Adkins .... I am a JCVD and now a days SCOTT ADKINS fan , This movie is a good change of pace by Martial Arts Action Star Scott Adkins and some Entertainment and a bit comedy combined together. The movie could have been even larger than life if produced with greater budget. But any how it has given good colors specially if compared with recent Adkins movies such as Debt Collector 2 , Avengement and Savage Dog . this one can capture Audience in broader spectrum i,e Kids . As far as Action packed yes indeed Scott is the name of Real Action. See more Read all reviews
