Cath Clarke Guardian In lampooning naffness without enough laughs, it veers perilously close to actually being naff. Rated: 2/5 Jan 11, 2021 Full Review Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News Why isn't martial arts star Scott Adkins a bigger deal? Rated: 3/4 Dec 17, 2020 Full Review Steven Warner In Review Online 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. Jun 5, 2021 Full Review Nick Drew SciFiNow 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. Rated: 3/5 Jan 23, 2021 Full Review Brian Costello Common Sense Media Violence, some language in fun sci-fi action comedy. Rated: 3/5 Jan 16, 2021 Full Review Douglas Davidson Elements of Madness ... you'll feel like you've literally been dropped into your favorite side-scroller in [co-writer/director Martin] Owen and co-writer Sally Collett's (Killers Anonymous) Tron-meets-Jumanji sci-fi comedy romp.

Rebecca S 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/17/24 Full Review JC's Scatter-Brained T 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Great retro fun! Sally Collett is very funny - and I loved the action sequences as computer games. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Brian S It was a little silly but hey sometimes one needs that. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/03/21 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/04/21 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
