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.

As I was clicking off a list of things I didn’t like about the movie, my daughter interrupted me, saying, “yeah, but it was fun.” I can’t argue with that: “A Minecraft Movie” is fun.

Whether you’ve never touched a controller or spent hours punching trees for wood, this film builds something special. Just don’t expect to leave without humming a Minecraft tune.
