Minecraft Movie – 2025
Minecraft movie: 2025 review.
- Similar Theme to Super Mario Bros. Movie: The Minecraft movie utilizes a similar theme of entering a different dimension/world through a portal, mirroring the successful Super Mario Bros. movie.
- Story Summary: The film follows Steve, who discovers a portal to an imaginative world (“Overworld”) built from cubes. He gets trapped in a darker world (“Nether”) ruled by Queen Piglin, who seeks to destroy the Overworld. With the help of a garbage man and two siblings, Steve attempts to save the Overworld.
- Visuals and Imagination: The movie’s visuals are praised for their creative use of cubes to create different creatures and environments, appealing to children. The Overworld’s imaginative setting is a highlight.
- Humor and Tone: While aiming for comedic effect, the movie’s humor is inconsistent. Some jokes land, while others, particularly double-meaning jokes, are deemed inappropriate and cheap, especially considering the target audience.
- Character Development and Engagement: The movie is criticized for lacking strong character development and failing to fully engage the audience emotionally, unlike the Super Mario Bros. movie.
- Inappropriate Jokes: The presence of several double-meaning jokes is considered a significant flaw, making the film less suitable for children despite its UA 7+ rating.
- Overall Assessment: The reviewer gives the Minecraft movie a 6/10 rating. It’s considered a one-time watch for its unique world-building and imaginative visuals, but falls short in terms of consistent humor, emotional engagement, and appropriateness for its target audience due to the questionable jokes.
