The Minecraft Movie Teaser isn’t great.

The mixture of actual people and the cgi blocky world really doesn't work, genuinely having it just be animated entirely would be so much better

Minecraft shouldn't be a comedy.

The problem is that it's live action, I should just be a animated film

if the clothes are meant to show minecraft skins, why isn't everyone either a blob or eboy/egirl

The last image’s background looks so off and then I noticed it was masked In afterwards and you can literally see some of the green on the brutes right arm.

They based the movie off of Minecraft legends 😭

Another one thing I feel so uneasy about the teaser scene is how the background looks… so out of place to me. Sorry if this offends anyone, but it kinda looks like those AI art which just slapped an irl scenery and some blocky texture together and boom! Life action minecraft background. Lmao.

I hate that it gets thrown around a lot, but something feels very AI about the scenery.

I think they should've used one of the stories in their official "The ____" novels because they were great stories in my opinion

She mine my craft until I movie

The visuals can be tweaked (to an extent, though they did for some reason put Steve wearing a v-neck, with an identical shirt underneath for some reason) but you’re right, they are so obvious and glaring that the more plot related, deeply cringy and honestly boring elements go completely unnoticed on first watch. This movie is going to be bad, in every way. Another example of a video game movie made bad.

yea it sucks

the hyper-realism on blocky silhouettes thing is like some reject 2010 Smosh joke that would have been funny for two seconds but the entire movie's that way i guess. it just comes off as the reaction someone would have if they never even heard of Minecraft until they read the pitch for the movie and hyperfixated on "WoAh wHy iS sQuAreS?!" instead of appreciating it as an artstyle as those of us who have to varying degrees grown up and gotten used to it have. it feels like a dig at the game your parents would make if they walked in on you playing it for a second- at risk of being very, very overdramatic (i say writing a fucking thesis on this already), it comes off as hateful, resentful, a sort of malicious compliance where the butt of the joke is everyone who's committed the grave crime of caring about a game that doesn't look like Crysis, which of course leads into the obvious complaint of the juxtaposed live-action cast- Hollywood thinks that only visual realism will sell, and when they're unrealistic they use it as an opportunity to make a "uh, that just happened" joke instead of anything fucking interesting. they're kinda sacrificing the often very pretty look of Minecraft, and the opportunity to stray from it and make something sincere, for essentially just a shock humor gag that's going to overstay its welcome.

If this weren't given the Sonic movie treatment, this would be a mid movie. Also, it's worth Morbillion dollars…

Or Minecoins🗿

bros just here to talk shit about everything. screw you pheonis

Please I need to know if anyone else got "Jumanji but minecraft and the rock is Steve jack black" isk why but like the normal people that I think being sent to the world of minecraft? Just gives me that vibe. Also the fact that most of the world has to be done in cgi is not helping the poor 3d vfx artist that are still being overworked

Admittedly I'm likely spoiled by Alan Becker's works, but what I don't understand about the trailer is: why rehash Legends?

A major theme in Minecraft is creativity and expressive freedom. It reminds me a bit of "Off to be the Wizard" (I forgot the author). If you had god-like powers, what would you do? What would your friends do? How would you handle it if one of your friends starts seeing other people as mere NPCs to be toyed with—and you can see the source code that runs them? Those feel like themes and questions that fit Minecraft better than "we need to beat the pig demons."

Who knows, maybe they'll turn around and end up doing that. But considering it looks like they're using AI-generated artwork reminiscent of decade-old Minecraft memes without a hint of irony, I'm doubtful.

3 hrs. Wow.

0:36 The studios shouldn't aim to make a "Kids" movie, if anything the LEGO movie gave a message to the whole family, calling a movie a "kid's movie" is demeaning. The old disney/pixar cartoons aren't regarded as kids' movies. LEGO movie was great mainly because of the message it sent, the kids wouldn't be able to see the whole point of the story. Movies are made funny for the kids, but they're made deep for the older viewers.
One of my mom's favorite movies was Rise of the Guardians, and as a kid i just liked all the flashy things, the color etc. only once I grew older did i relise the meaning of facing your fears and finding yourself being the focal points of the movie.
The whole "kid's movie" seems to also spill over in general into animated movies, which unfortunately also means that any anime/animated shows that are not really that mainstream due to the associated childness, even though the shows that fall into this category could be, Invincible, Rick and Morty, Family Guy, etc.
But yeah sorry for the rant, the Minecraft movie looks terrible, they could have probably went with animations and made it within the style of their trailers/cinematics probably would have looked better and more faithful.

I'd say it's fine. Might grow on us.

I genuinely like the visuals and sad people hating on it. And the plot seems like they are borrowing from the Minecraft novels where a real-world person comes into the game, so that's kinda cool. It's the characters I'm worried about.
