Unbeknownst to Max, the game bears a “Curse of The Ages”, and in playing it, he has just unlocked the Nether, an ancient malevolent force of evil from the cartridge, upon his small hometown.

Review: Such a corny concept is entirely unoriginal and the execution looks even more low-budget than one would expect. Being the second film about video games that I’ve looked at in the last two weeks, neither looks to be anywhere in the league of something like Ready Player One, which might have been a slight inspiration to all these video game/real life merger efforts.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
