Here's everything you need toꦍ know about the Minecraft movie

A Minecraft Movie is here! That's right, the big Hollywood game adaptation of one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best open world games ever has finally hit scree🏅ns, treating us to such viewing pleasures as Jack Black riding Jason Momoa like a dragon, and later exclaiming, "Let's mine, then let's craft, let's Minecraft!" Here, we tell you everything you need to know about the new movie before you go to the movie theater and enter The Overworld.
A Minecraft Movie hit screens this April. The film is adapted from the widely popular Minecraft video game by Mojang studios and stars comedy legend Jack𝔍 Black as the game's player character Steve. The adaptation touches on Steve's experience but otherwඣise follows four regular world humans as they get pulled into a strange cubic universe (The Overworld) where their only chance of survival falls down to Black's eccentric and rather smelly character.
Since it was announced, A Minecraft Movie has been one of the most anticipated 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming video game movies of the past few years. However, it hasn't had a smooth ride due to its questionable first trailer and the movie constantly getting memed. With this, you may be wondering if the new flick is worth your time, and if it could really be one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best video game movies ever. Well, worry not, because our guide is here to help. We've got n🍷ews on A Minecraft Movie reviews, its full cast, a breakdown of the Minecraft Movie trailers, and exclusive interviews from the cast and director, who even teases a sequel.
So, for all you need to know, head on down to our ulti🤪mate guide.
A Minecraft Movie release date
A Minecraft Movie hit screens just in time for spring on April 4, 2025.
We are still waiting on a streaming date, but if A Minecraft Movie follows a similar pattern to other Warner Brothers projects, the film should hit streaming services within a few months. However, movies🅘 can take even longer to hit𝄹 streaming sites if they prove to be a success at the box office, which equals a longer theatrical run.
It is important to 𒀰note that most ꧂Warner Bros. movies head to HBO's streaming service Max in the US. As Max is not available in the UK, viewers across the pond may have to wait a little longer to see A Minecraft Movie at home.

A Minecraft Movie reviews
Despite worries fans may have had over the film's striking use of VFX, the good news is that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:first reactions to A M🧔inecraft Movie have been quite positive overall.
However, some critics seem to have not gelled with director Jared Hess, best known for Napoleon Dynamite, and his humour, as the film currently stands at 49% on , ouch. But audience reviews are roꩲlling in, and they're looking a lot mor𓃲e promising.
In our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:A Minecraft Movie review, we said: "Jared Hess's indie sensibilities help to elevate a video꧅ game adaptation that is boosted further by Jack Black's irrepressible star turn. The special effects could be better, as could the female roles. But this remains an entertaining fantasy adventure that makes light work of what might appear to be unpromising source material."
A Minecraft Movie plot
If you've played Minecraft, you'll know that the game doesn't really have a story. In this regard, A Minecraft movie could have virtually taken any direction. However, the film cleverly plays on what viewers experience when they first open the game and quickly have to adapt to their surroundings. This includes building your first house, fighting off hostile mobs, and of course, getting used to the game's 20-minute long days. The four protagonists in the movie, teen🦋ager Henry, his older sister Natalie, local ex-gaming lಞegend Garrett, and real estate agent Dawn, have to do just that.
The official synopsis for A Minecraft Movie reads: "Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity doesn’t just help you craft, it’s essential to one’s survival! Four misfits find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagi🦋nation.
To get back home, they’ll have to master this world while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve. Together, their adventure will challenge all𝔉 five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative…the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world."
However, you may have noticed from the trailers that the movie includes monstrous human like pigs called Piglins who come from Minecraft's underworld known as The Nether. These monsters are taken from the Java and Bedrock editions of Minecraft, as well as Minecraft Legends and Minecraft Dungeons. But the Piglins are not the only hostile mobs the group has to fight off, as there are plenty of other threats among the mass of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Minecraft Movie Easter eggs.
When asked why he decided to focus on The Nether and the Piglins this time, Hess told 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GamesRadar+, "I'm obsess⭕ed with the Piglins. I think they're super gnarly and funny and gros💮s and strange, and I love their weird barbarian culture," says Hess. "They're cannibals. They're obsessed with gold, and just thought that they would be such fun villains, but they've also got a unique story."
Hess later added that because the world of Minecraft is 🦋so "infinite," he is more than interested in making another movie.
The Piglins play a key role in the film that leads to one final blowout. But to save you from spoilers, we won't get into that here. Instead, you can check out our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:A Minecraft Movie ending explained guide.

A Minecraft Movie trailer

Alongside a few short teasers, A Minecraft Movie released two trailers in the run-up to the film's April release. Due to unfinished VFX and the movie's choice of animation, some of the clips sparked 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:some c♉omplaints about the l♊ook of the film, including a rather nightmarish sheep. However, the trailers are still fun an🎃d capture the overall aesthetic of the game and the movie.
The first 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:trailer for A Minecraft Movie arrived on September 4, 2024. In the brief clip, we see a bunch of people getting pulled into the world of Minecraft, complete with questionable-looking sheep, Piglinsꦡ out for blood🗹, and Jack Black as the iconic character Steve.
