A small town video game store clerk must go from zero to hero after accidentally unleashing the forces of evil from a cursed Colecovision© video game cartridge...

Max Jenkins' gaming fantasies collides with reality when a legendary "lost" installment of the 1980's "Nether Game" series appears on the store counter of his workplace. Unbeknownst to Max, the old game cartridge bears a "Curse of The Ages", and in playing it, he has just unlocked "The Nether", an ancient malevolent force of evil upon his small hometown.

Along with a mysterious masked man and his two best friends, Liz and Reggie, Max must figure out how to beat the Nether at it's own game before it's Game Over for humanity.

Press Quotes

Max Reload and the Nether Blasters is often quite charming and even sweet. Technical merits are generally solid, and the supplemental package very enjoyable. Recommended.

     —Blu-ray.com

It’s not ground breaking, but it is enjoyable, and gamers, retro gaming enthusiasts and nostalgia hounds will find plenty to enjoy here.

     —Flickering Myth, 3

A fun film that is just the right length for its story… Definitely popcorn entertainment perfect for a Saturday night with a few generations looking to watch a film together.

     —Cinema Crazed, 5

Rife with nostalgia, tropes, and sleepy storyline, Max Reload still finds a little energy in approaching videogames through their culture.

     —DoBlu.com, 4

The acting is great, the action is fun, the dialogue humorous, and the plot original. Thanks to the excellent, energetic directing and pure understanding of fandoms that Tremp and Conditt display, all those positive elements are delivered in the most enjoyable possible way; aka, this is an absolute blast on all levels.
