Max Beyond

Max Beyond is at its core a story about family, and the lengths we will go to to protect the ones we love. We follow the story of Max, an eight year old with the power to travel across dimensions and the complications that come with possessing such a powerful ability.

The animation often leaves a lot to be desired but the script and voice talent more than make up for its shortcomings. The action sequences are excellent and you can clearly see the video game inspirations. Especially as it seems to have been produced in conjunction to a video game.

Whilst the bloody nature and more adult themes are cool, I feel like this movie could've worked really well as a family movie too. Given the heart of the film and the age of the protagonist, its a shame that the violent content might prevent younger audiences from enjoying this.

Overall, Max beyond is an action packed thrill ride through and through, and I would recommend it to anyone who's a fan of sci-fi animation.
