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 men with beards can bring to the sandbox.

The film’s anarchy might reflect a lot of younger players’ first experience with Minecraft, where destruction can be just as fun as creation. Missing on the big screen, meanwhile, is the odd, remote atmosphere that drew me in.

“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.

The M Report (WBOC.com)

...this film is also a kind of homage to The Wizard of Oz (1939), which is also about a character who gets sucked into a magical land and has to find her way home.

The Cinema Spot

I was surprised at how funny it got, which led me to fall for numerous jokes that caught me off-guard, but would sometimes feel intense dread as Black kept singing, and the climax of this entire non-event is a beam that opens a portal in the sky.

Rated: 2/5

A movie that is guilty of all video game adaptation sins... but, thankfully, Jack Black and Jason Momoa attempt to save the day.

Rated: 3/5

Wonderful experience at the theaters. While not perfect this movie made me feel like I was watching Superman for the first time as a kid.

I thought the characters were funny and wild and I was very entertained. I adored the Minecraft scenes and personalities. This movie was written to appeal to Minecraft lovers and it did just that. I myself am not a Minecraft lover, but the men in my family were on the edge of their seat.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

the movie was not the best, the comedy didn't land and the best thing about the movie was Jason and Jack's relationship. It did a good job of catering to kids, but failed to reach the entirety of the Minecraft fan base. I enjoyed the experience of watching it then the plot itself.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
