Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity doesn't just help you craft, it's essential to one's survival! Four misfits--Garrett "The Garbage Man" Garrison (Jason Momoa), Henry (Sebastian Eugene Hansen), Natalie (Emma Myers) and Dawn (Danielle Brooks)--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 imagination. To get back home, they'll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like Piglins and Zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve (Jack Black). Together, their adventure will challenge all 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.

Critics Consensus

Ostensibly a film about celebrating creativity, A Minecraft Movie provides a colorful sandbox for Jack Black and Jason Momoa to amusingly romp around in a story curiously constructed from conventional building blocks.

Audience Says

Beyond being a fertile meme-factory, A Minecraft Movie proves how much fun two dudes with beards can bring to the sandbox.

“A Minecraft Movie” is quirky and goofy enough to make one wish it held together better overall, but it’s also a likable venture.

Rated: 2.5/4

Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

Jack Black and Jason Momoa together, they're okay; so it's perfectly unremarkable.

It’s got enough personality to make me wish that Hess had had a still freer hand... Don’t mistake my curiosity for enthusiasm. I can’t recommend that anyone see A Minecraft Movie, not even a child.

A Minecraft Movie looks great, but it’s overproduced to the point of becoming repetitive and redundant.

While adults will get a laugh here and there throughout much of the action and humour here is aimed at the younger audience members. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing – especially if you are looking for a way to entertain the kids for a while.

Rated: 2.5/5

Movies based on video games have never had a great track record in Hollywood, and A Minecraft Movie isn't an exception.

The references and jokes helped make the movie work for what simple plot and execution it had. Living in idaho made it much better to enjoy the jabs towards our schools and potatoes.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
