I’ve never heard of the Patterson’s book series this movie was based upon but even without the knowledge, its clear this was Maximum Ride done on the cheap with bad production values and even so, a story that wasn’t all that interesting.

PLOT SYNOPSIS

| Based on the bestselling book series by James Patterson, Maximum Ride is the extraordinary journey of six DNA-enhanced young orphans with the ability to fly, on a mission to rescue the youngest of their flock while discovering the diabolical, scientific secrets of how they came to exist. Their leader is Max (ALLIE MARIE EVANS), wise beyond her years, who must summon all her courage and acumen to outmaneuver the brutal half-human/half-wolf creations known as “Erasers,” confront her own inner demons and ultimately face a stunning betrayal. |
SPECIAL FEATURES – 0/5 |
| No features were included. |
VIDEO – 3.75/5, AUDIO – 3.0/5
|
| Paramount releases Maximum Ride onto Blu-ray presented with a 16×9 enhanced 1.78 widescreen aspect ratio and given a basic Dolby Digital 5.1 track which is on the weaker side even during the action-centric scenes. |
OVERALL – 2.0/5 |
|
Overall, I’ve never heard of the Patterson’s book series this movie was based upon but even without the knowledge, its clear this was Maximum Ride done on the cheap with bad production values and even so, a story that wasn’t all that interesting. The DVD is a standard, and quick, release with no features and average to above average video and audio transfers. |
