The Official Minecraft Thread: "A Minecraft Movie." Coming April 2025

[Guardian Prime]

Searched every page in Fun and Games and didn't see a dedicated Minecraft thread, so here y'all go.

I'm not a gamer, but Minecraft is one of those very few games I've been tempted to play. Mostly because I've watched my sister play it the last couple of years and I like the nearly unlimitted building and exploring potential of it. My sister has been quite good at it. Unlike me, she IS a gamer!

Anyways, I haven't seen this posted anywhere yet, but there is a Minecraft Movie coming in April, 2025. A trailer for it just dropped...

I didn't think this movie was actually getting released, but here we are. I'm... not so sure about it. Feels like it really should've been an all animated movie, rather than another "People from real world end up in fantasy world" type of thing.

Just saw the trailer.
I . . . um. . . . . have questions, but few more pressing than questions about that pink jacket Jason Momoa is wearing.

Oh, hey! We're finally getting that third Jumanji movie, after all!

...I joke. But, I do think it actually looks kind of fun. I probably won't see it in theaters, but I'll probably see it on TV at some point.

That's the part I'm most interested in, lol.
I don't play Minecraft, but the way they did the blocky look looks pretty fun. If it gets decent reviews, might try to catch it on TV.

Jack black I get; Dude make everything better. How broke is jason momoa that he's doing this?

Well, he did get divorced and fired from being Aquaman.

Wow, I guess she got the house AND the kingdom, cause ol' jason apparently looted hulk hogans closet.

I like that it's just "A Minecraft Movie." Bill Murray would approve.

No thoughts aside from that, except that Mojang is probably questioning their decision to give the sheep and llamas derp eyes right about now.

This thing is gonna be either awesome, absolutely awful in every way or so bad it's good. It's hard to say at this point, but likely one of the second two.

Enderman are scary enough when you encounter them for the first time in the game, so I wonder what they'll be like in the movie? I mean, that pink sheep in the trailer is nightmare fuel already, so I'm curious what kind of treatment the Enderman will get.

 

[Guardian Prime]

Well... looks better than the first trailer.

 

[Ungnome]

It does look better, still looks like its likely horrible, but maybe it will wrap around enough to being so bad it's good. Wonder what the Rifftrax guy will be able to do with it.

 

[The Predaking]

This trailer looks neat to me. I am sure that I will watch it when it comes to Max or Peacock or whichever streaming service next year.

 

[Ungnome]

We have a theater about 30 to 40 minutes away that does $7 showings all the time. Might hit it there if my daughter wants to see it.

 

[Rhinox]

. . . . yearned for the mines.
So we're just full on with the memes in this thing? Okay.
I still have questions about the pink jacket.

 

[MEDdMI]

Why shouldn't he wear a pink jacket? XD
Looks like silly fun, though I feel bad for the actors having to pretend 90% of the stuff is there in a green screen room, with all that CG.

He said that he was from the 1980s didn't he?
