The first teaser for the upcoming Minecraft movie, creatively titled A Minecraft Movie has released.

Starring Jack Black as Steve and an expanded cast that includes Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks and Sebastian Eugene Hansen, A Minecraft Movie is slated for release April 4 2025 and is being directed by Jared Hess of Nacho Libre and Napoleon Dynamite fame. The plot revolves around four misfits who are pulled into Minecraft's Overworld where they must learn to survive and protect it from dangers to eventually return home.

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 (Momoa), Henry (Hansen), Natalie (Myers) and Dawn (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 (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.

It's a movie for kids, what did you expect guys?

Target audience affects what kind of story you tell, not how well you tell it. This does not look "well".

 

[Aergisgeist]

Undoubtedly one of the worst trailers I have ever seen in my life. I'd say it's so over, but it never started

[RetroNerdGamer]

I have some thoughts but I think I'll keep them to myself. I don't see this going well though.

[The Catboy]

Wow, this looks fucking awful

 

[console]

Look awful. Please don't buy A Minecraft Movie is own by Microsoft company.

Microsoft company want people money. Don't do it. Stop support Microsoft company then go out of business.

I mean, it all comes down to the script, director, and editors. it's certainly possible for it to be a brilliant movie. but..uhh...I think I'll wait to download it after the reviews.

trailers are made by marketing people usually, so you shouldn't use them as a metric for how a movie will do. Ignoring trailers usually makes for a far better movie experience.

Actually, what was the point of filming in the Netherlands if 99% of the trailer (and most likely the whole film) is green screened?

Part of good green screening is filming in a location that mimmics the conditions of the place the green screen will show. The reason you can tell bad green screen is often because indoor lighting is used when characters are supposed to be in an outside space.

Throughout the trailer, the only thing I was thinking was, Why the heck are piglins in the Overworld.

No matter how bad this ends up, it can't be worse than Dragonball evolution

 

[Marc_LFD]

Don't like Minecraft it just doesn't interest me, but now I have a second reason to dislike this movie already... Jack Black.

Or the Avatar movie

Escaped through a nether portal? Idk

They can't stay in the overworld for more than a minute. They become zombified.

My first thought was that this explains why he freaked out so badly at KG’s Trump joke on stage. It was obviously damage control, sure, but this probably explains what for.

 

[Dud]

Uh. Ew? I thought it was a joke, chat.

Does any of you have a bag? I need to vomit after watching this horrible fucking mess.
