Bottom line, Max Cloud delivers what is promises: silly video game themed jokes. It's not an amazing movie, but it is fun, and delivers what you want.
Max Cloud has a lot of funny jokes, especially with the fight scenes. The actors do a great job of acting like one dimensional video game action stars and I think it worked out for them. Little things like yelling catch phrases occasionally and having some over the top action moves really added to the whole experience.
Tommy Flannigan is great, and I love seeing him on screen in any movie.
Unfortunately, I think everything they did with the "real world" was pretty bad. They didn't seem to know exactly how they wanted to tie in the real world, so it just felt shoehorned in and took away from it a bit. They tied it together poorly, they had hammy acting that just didn't _quite_ work for me, and they had some very specific details/items that they didn't do anything with, so it just felt like random fluff to fill up time. They honestly could have removed it completely and the movie would have been more entertaining.
Over all though, Max Cloud is a fun watch, and I'm glad I found it. I was torn between 5-6/10, but the real world side was flat enough I rounded down.
