Max Reload and The Nether Blasters

POSITIVES…

  • As a love letter to video games and 1980s adventure flicks, I really appreciated the work that was put into making this indie-movie. Deserves to be a cult classic for geeks all around.

  • Really liked the premise, the narrative visual tricks, and the ideas they threw into some of the scenes.

  • Fun meta humor, silly pop culture references, and surprise cameos by actors any self-proclaimed geek should get a kick seeing them show up in this movie.

  • Greg Grunberg and Joseph Reitman are the MVP of this film. They were great!

  • Allowing the movie to completely indulge itself into letting Kevin Smith just completely take over the scenes he is in.

NEGATIVES…

  • Has to be said, but I wished it had a bigger budget that could have resulted in a better production value.

  • I suppose it can be blamed to the homages, but expect the usual plot cliches and conveniences.

  • The lead characters aren’t as likeable as they probably should have been.

P.S….
