مغامرات بين المجرات من ماكس كلاود

source: Max Cloud

I only watched it cause Scott was in it but it has quite a few familiar faces, not sure how it turned out so bad.

Big fan of Adkins and love to support his direct to video films. I'm also a big fan of science fiction and comedy. Sadly, this was a misfire across the board. The premises from the trailer sounded great. Adkins is the titular hero of the video game Max Cloud, and he helps a teenaged girl escape when she is beamed in. But, the film makes it needlessly complicated and dull. Too much "lost in the woods" filmmaking, meaning the cast wonders the spaceship for most of the runtime. Its 20 minutes until Adkins fights anyone. Still, the cast does their best, the music and costumes are colorful, and a special shoutout to the cinematographer. They make the whole production look much better than it unfortunately is.

Watch it only to see how bad it is. Only managed to sit for 20 mins of it.

Obviously, this isn't a typical Scott Adkins movie (and could never be on the same level as one of his martial arts movies), but it was a fun ride, nonetheless. It had a very 90's feel, a fun soundtrack to match it, purposely (I hope, anyway) cheap visuals, and the whole thing was just corny and silly and fun. I loved Max's personality (as a joke and in a movie, obviously) and I would have loved to see more of it, or even more extreme. There was a little bit of fighting with some of his signature moves, but not too much. They did kind of steal a line from Predator, and I'm still not sure if I love or hate that, but it was so unexpected and made me laugh out loud for a couple of minutes. If you go into this expecting a low budget, corny movie with Scott Adkins trying something different, I think you'll enjoy it. (As someone else mentioned, if this wasn't a Scott Adkins movie, this probably would have been a 5/10.)

Not even a good bad, or a "so bad it's funny" nor a "bad B movie", but... There's some good. I like the music, the CG looks nice and colorful. The rest is bad and just weird , and again, not a good weird. Another talented one lost his funding to that crap most certainly, unless it's totally self funded...

I had so much fun watching this 😀 A mix of Zathura and Jumanji but I enjoyed it. But to be honest if it wasn't Scott Adkins' movie I don't know if I would watch it.

In 1990 Sarah (Isabelle Allen) gets stuck inside the Max Cloud video game. She must help the egotistical Max Cloud (Scott Adkins) who speaks about himself in the third person, complete the game. In the game they are marooned on a prison planet Heinous. They have to fight the bad guys and get off the planet before the surface melts. The characters were boring. The plot was simplistic. I didn't feel entertained. Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.

This film start with a spaceship calling for Mayday, and the introduction of Jake, and Max scene! As turnout, this film is about Cowboy, and Sarah's father need to save Sarah from the video game she been transported into, by winning the video game! Entire film full of boring conversation, and annoying overuse scene! Such as, overuse of the playing dumb scene, overuse of the switch from left to right angle scene, overuse of the calling names scene, overuse of the act like gay scene, and overuse of the video game POV scene! Make the film unwatchable! All the killing scene have blood at certain point, but overall portray by sideways, messy, have slow-motion, just saw the lightning, and smoke! Make the film quite frustrated to watch! Barely laughable scene is, Max kicking a decapitated head at his opponents! At the end, Sarah been transported back to her room! Sarah's avatar "Jake" back with his teammate in the video game at the very end! That's it! Wasting time to watch!

I know that there are movies that are so bad they're good, and I seriously wonder if the director was trying to go for that here. Unfortunately, it's not good... At all. I admit, I'm a fan of silly films, and there were some scenes that wee pretty cool in this one, but so much of it is off putting. Scenes don't flow well, dialogue is really odd and some of the decisions by characters just don't make any sense at all. One thing that really bothered me (because it could have been done so much better) was the dialogue between Sarah while in the game, and Cowboy while playing the game. The "Cowboy footage" and the in game footage of their dialogue don't mesh at all. I actually remarked to my wife as we watched this, that it seems like the kind of movie you're supposed to be high to watch. I'd recommend not watching it. I hate to say that, but yeah, stay away.
