In lampooning naffness without enough laughs, it veers perilously close to actually being naff.

Why isn't martial arts star Scott Adkins a bigger deal?

Violence, some language in fun sci-fi action comedy.

... 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.

Elements of Madness
It might work for some as an escapist film, like for those overwhelmed these days with too much Covid-19 reality.

There are moments when it springs to life as it goes hard on a fight scene... letting Adkins do his thing, or when it doubles down on its 16-bit roots. But there's just not enough here to sustain a feature, unfortunately.

Considering the talent involved and the fun premise, Max Cloud should have been a lot more fun. Despite the game performances and some enjoyable action scenes, budget limitations, slow pacing, leaden comedy and derivative nature let it down.

[A]n affectionate, funny, and well-crafted tribute to classic beat-'em-up video games.

Max Cloud is a kids' film, but it's a fun one for adults as well.

Max Cloud warmly delves into 80's gamer culture with mostly inspired results.

Battle Royale With Cheese
... functions as sort of a geek wish-fulfillment fantasy, providing some scattered laughs and nostalgic charm before settling into a labored action saga.
