A Minecraft Movie (2025)

My Review

“A Minecraft Movie” is an adventure-comedy film about four eccentric people who get pulled into a mysterious parallel universe which thrives on imagination and, apparently, bizarre behavior. Director Jarod Hesse (“Napoleon Dynamite” 2004) put together a film based on the video game Minecraft. It is poorly written with terrible acting and, if that is not enough, also suffers from unfocused direction.

However, since this is a motion picture primarily aimed at children, that judgement is probably moot. The unwatchable “A Minecraft Movie” was a huge hit at the box office, the fifth highest grossing film of 2025, for producer Jason Momoa, Legendary Pictures, Vertigo Entertainment, and Warner Bros. Pictures. The cast includes Momoa, Jack Black, Jennifer Coolidge, and Kate McKinnon.
