A Minecraft Movie Review
‘A Minecraft Movie’ is a Noisy, Engaging Romp Through a Blocky World. For a movie that celebrates creativity, the film itself is crafted from some awfully familiar building blocks, but committed performances help a little. In theaters on April 4th, ‘A Minecraft Movie’ adapts the wildly popular (at least, a few years ago, before the likes of ‘Fortnite’ and ‘Roblox’ took over) video game where players can craft whatever they want in the blocky universe known as the “Overworld.
” While some recent game adaptations have triumphed through finding a unique way into the story, ‘A Minecraft Movie’ has only occasional nods towards that, preferring instead to appeal to its young-skewing audience via bombastic action and comedy.
