Max Winslow and the House of Secrets

This film start with the introduction of a man "Atticus", and the introduction of a sister and brother(Max and Ethan) scene! As turnout, this film is about Max need to use her father program to take down the AI called "Haven" to win the manor offer by Atticus! Entire film full of boring conversation, and annoying overuse scene! Such as, overuse of the song playing at the background scene, overuse of the walking scene, overuse of the annoying AI voice scene, overuse of the capture photo scene, and overuse of the staring scene! Make the film unwatchable! Barely intense scene is, a robot been electrocuted! At the end, Max won the manor offer by Atticus! Still have a post credit scene! Connor singing a song to Max! That's it! Wasting time to watch!

5 damaged kids get an opportunity to win a rich tech gurus automated mansion. But the evil house A. I puts each troubled high schooler into their own scenario meant to deal with their personal faults The movie resembles the plot to Charlie and the Chocolate factory. Not a bad film, nor is it a good one. Its something to watch when there is nothing else on.

I feel like they were trying to copy willy wonka in a way instead of candy the prize is a mansion with alot of tech stuff. They chose five students and mind you the school is huge and there is nothing extraordinary about the kids that get picked except for one a young girl Max who is a wiz at technology all the other characters are kind of blah and annoying. The dialogue was just dumb it is as if it was written by a 10 year old. Goonies was a kids movie but had better dialogue than this one. It was a moderately entertaining movie something to watch when nothing else is on other than that it could have been better.

This has an average rating of 6? WUT? Couldn't finish the movie. Very poor attempt at a detective / horror-style genre. Characters are shallow, not to say most of them are bullies. Am I expected to care for them? Dialogs are really stupid. Add low quality CGI and super unrealistic plot and voilà - this is the movie. Can't name a single good thing about it. Don't waste your money.

What a horrible thing to unleash on people. Interesting storyline but it was soooooo badly acted and it came across as tacky and just extremely flaccid. Watched it to the end to see if it got better...it never did. Complete waste of time.

It started off alright, then after the first clue in the Virtue house, it lost track and got unexpectedly boring and dark. It felt random and I was on the verge of falling asleep. I don't suggest watching the movie. It's a complete and total waste of time.

Max Winslow and the House of Secrets is what happens when film makers just try too hard but do not have what it takes to create a well-told story. Besides that nearly everything about this movie is derivative of other recent works - the phrasing of the title is the first clue of how prominently this movie depends upon familiarity with the cinema productions of the past few years - what is at the heart of the issues with MWatHoS is that it just doesn't work in the end. The final scenes are very, very disappointing. It's as if the writers just gave up. And the movie is short so adding another 10 minutes or so of a more meaningful climax and solution did not happen by wanting to cut short an overly long production. The main characters are very one dimensional, simple takes on personalities. Even classics like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory present stereotyped children with more meat than what is found here. And the continued treatment of computers as magical machines is ironic, but I guess the presentation of a "tech" billionaire as a savior is pretty on-target for the current society. I do not recommend paying to watch this movie. If it comes on TV as an afternoon special then perhaps some kids may find it entertaining.

Me and the whole family enjoyed this one. Yes I recommend it. James Welch Henderson Arkansas 11/09/2020

When I watched this, I was reminded of the typical family channel type movies, I used to see as a child. It's a simple/safe film, turn your brain off, and let the kids enjoy the pretty lights.
