The adventure will challenge all five to be bold and reconnect with the qualities that make each of them unique and the skills they need to thrive in the real world.

Movie critic Peter Howell wrote, “A MINECRAFT MOVIE: Like a Saturday morn cartoon painted by Cubism-era Picasso. Story is as blockheaded as the characters but under Jared Hess’ eye it leans into the silly, with a cast of appealing hams that includes Jack Black, Jason Momoa and Jennifer Coolidge.”

RT’s Tomatometer-approved critic writes, “#Minecraftmovie is destined to be a cult classic just as Napoleon Dynamite & Nacho Libre have become. Jared Hess infuses his zany, weird, over the top, random, stupid, & overall dumb creativeness into Minecraft. It might not be a good movie… but it’s a fun movie.”

Chris Gallardo stated, “#MinecraftMovie is INSANELY BONKERS and is 100% what you’d expect in *this* big-screen MINECRAFT movie. Jack Black and Jason Momoa carry the comedy and its Jumanji-esque story. Visuals are perfectly translated and it’s got some fun references from the game (and cameos) too!”
