The First ‘Minecraft’ Movie Trailer Is Here, And It Is Horrifying

Warner Bros. has launched the primary trailer for the Minecraft film crammed with stars like Jack Black and Jason Momoa. And the minute-long spot for the difference of one of the crucial well-liked video games ever made is…completely horrifying in virtually each conceivable method.

You’ll be able to watch it beneath for your self to see what I imply:

The primary and most noticeable factor is Jason Momoa’s haircut which…speaks for itself. However the second most noticeable factor is the excessive inexperienced display screen CGI which I imply, after all when you throw dwell motion individuals in a Minecraft world, you’re going to want that, however the query is why did you set dwell motion individuals in a Minecraft world?

I undoubtedly assumed that once they made a Minecraft film it will be in an analogous medium to the sport. As an alternative all the pieces is simply bizarre wanting non-game CGI cubes and it’s not simply actors voicing Minecraft-shaped characters, it’s simply…individuals. Jack Black exhibits up like he simply received filming one in every of his TikTok movies with no shave or haircut simply wanting like…Jack Black. However he’s Steve. You recognize, Steve. No less than Jason Momoa agreed to appear to be an fool in that wig.

I totally perceive I’m not the goal marketplace for this, and this doesn’t must be a great film to make a billion {dollars} on the field workplace, which I totally anticipate it to. However I feel there are methods to do well-liked children video games proper utilizing dwell motion, 5 Nights at Freddy’s as an example, or methods to do particular kinds proper, such because the LEGO motion pictures being made in…LEGO. They need to have made a Minecraft film in Minecraft, or not less than one thing that appears much more like Minecraft than this.

The aesthetics listed below are simply horrible. The quasi-adaptation of animals and enemies, the live-action actors stamped on the flat backgrounds. Simply terrible stuff. I can solely hope that when this film is out in April 2025 that it’s going to look extra polished, as this trailer is making the Borderlands film look good. However once more, it doesn’t matter what, it’ll make an completely insane amount of cash, so it doesn’t actually matter, I suppose.

It’s only a disgrace as a result of there have been so many nice young-skewing gaming motion pictures from Sonic to Mario, but when that is as dangerous because it appears, it’s going to snap that streak like a blocky tree department.
