A Minecraft Movie2025-04-08
Vancouver, BC
This was… pretty awful? I was a Minecraft kid through and through, spending countless hours playing the game with friends throughout my pre-teen years. I had faint hopes that this would capture some sort of nostalgia in me, but this is really just a lifeless piece of corporate schlop. At least it didn’t look that bad, and Jack Black and Jason Momoa appeared to be having fun? Everyone else though… you may want to consider sticking to your day job.
Watched at Scotiabank Theatre Vancouver in IMAX. If anything, I can report that all hoopla surrounding this has indeed come to life. With all the clapping, jeering, and airborne popcorn, I think this was nearly the complete audience experience. Save for live chickens. I genuinely feel bad for the employees who have to clean up the paths of destruction all these kids are leaving behind; it looked like a war zone walking out of there. Don’t think it helped that it was cheap Tuesday either. It’s pretty clear that this game has been passed along to a younger generation.
