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.
