DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
MVD Entertainment Group has landed the domestic distribution rights to the directing team of Scott Conditt and Jeremy Tremp’s action fantasy, Max Reload and the Nether Blasters, however the initial plans for a theatrical launch have been set aside (Covid-19 and all) in favor of a Blu-ray and DVD launch on Aug. 11.

Slick, well-produced and featuring cult icon Kevin Smith (aka: “Silent Bob”), Max Reload and the Nether Blasters is a gamer’s fantasy/thriller starring newcomer Tom Plumley as Max Jenkins, the nebbish video game store clerk at Fallout Games — a place where retro video games get a second life.   

One day he discovers the thought-to-be-lost game cartridge of “Nether Game,” a legendary role-playing game that only runs on the old Colecovision gaming platform.  It’s like finding the Holy Grail of games, what could possibly go wrong?

Plenty!!   Not only is this a game that only existed, he thinks, in the world of rumors, but it seems that this particular cartridge is infected with the “Curse of the Ages.”   When the unwitting Max plugs it in and starts to play he frees “The Nether,” a beastly, and very deadly, force from beyond.   

The all-knowing wizard of game-playing, Eugene Wylder (Greg Grunberg — Star Trek Beyond, Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens … as Matt Parkman on the Heroes television series), guides Max and his friends as they must battle and defeat “The Nether” … or the world is doomed.   No pressure!!

This retro-game thriller, which gamers especially will enjoy for the visuals and “gaming experience,” comes loaded with no less than five production featurettes — “Art and Animation,” “NetherCragon,” “Egypt,” “Reggie Gets Nethered – Anatomy of a Scene” and “Speed Run.”
