I just don’t know who this movie is for. Slapping a plot on a sandbox game aimed at a wide audience is weird. Leaning heavily into the Legends content is reducing the appeal. The IRL people in weird outfits make it feel like they slapped a Jumanji template on the Minecraft IP, which is a bad sign. I don’t see the appeal of this other than “I like Minecraft, therefore I will spend money on anything Minecraft related.” I don’t see an indication of a plot, the characters don’t seem special (Jack Black is Jack Black, Jason Momoa is Jason Momoa). I just don’t it.
I don’t see an indication of a plot,
With a spoiler that large right in front of you staring at you with goofy eyes as the piglins run past in the overworld!? I will predict the plot revolves around our Jumanjiesque heros saving the overworld from the horror of the underworld that is spilling over or released into the overworld. They will save Steve and Alex and go on to save the world through teamwork!
And I think we’ll discover that the Piglins aren’t totally evil along the way.
It’s for the executives to rake in more money from people that will literally buy anything with an IP that they enjoy slapped on it. That and it’s to steal money from parents through their children.
Slapping a plot on a sandbox game already worked though. Minecraft Story mode might not be anywhere near the best telltale game but for its core audience (primarily pre teens, I‘d guess) it‘s fine. Good enough to warrant a second season. However, it looked like Minecraft, the story seemed like something people living in a Minecraft world would existiere and it didn’t rely on star-power to get any traction.
What I’m feeling is the opposite of what the studio execs want me to feel.
I’m sorry Minecraft Story Mode, you didn’t deserve all that criticism.
Not a fan of the look or feel of the teaser. I feel like adapting the Fallen Kingdom series into a movie would be a better choice. Or even something more akin to Minecraft Story Mode in spite of its somewhat controversial nature.
Am I the only one who actually likes the CGI in this movie?
Yes
I think the shot of them on the cliff with the world in the background is a bit off but the rest of it looks fine. I honestly don’t understand why this is getting so much hate.
This feels like textbook high budget fan film
I have mixed feelings
I don’t think it is a good movie, It looks weird and too realistic af
You couldn’t pay me to watch this.
I do like that it’s weird…
