Do you think that god stays in heaven because he lives in fear of what he's created?
because that trailer answers the question that many have pondered over the years...

Funny thing is Notch reacted positively to it so he only seems to regret creating Minecraft for other reasons.

Notch seems to be interested in it at the very least

If I don't see or hear any screaming foreign children or AUSCHWITZ schematics in it then it's DOA.

I know it's something cliche to say but this does look like sludge produced by an AI generator.

Hideous human actors, outsourced CGI, "legacy" IPs is what entertainment has become in the 2020s. Nobody wants to make new good films or television anymore and those who want to either aged out of the industry or have had their pitches constantly rejected.

le funny animals with eyes that point opposite directions is peak 2024 comedy and absolutely didnt go out of style in 2011-2012

That's what their eyes look like in the game.

The art style they chose to go for is actually disgusting. The animals look like a gross mass of meat wrapped in faux fur and the world doesn't even look like Minecraft, it looks like a generic blocky landscape rendered in Unreal Engine. If you told me this was a hyperrealistic render of Windy Hill from Sonic Lost World I would've believed you.
For all its faults, at least Story Mode had an artstyle that was loyal to the main game and didn't make me want to puke.

Also lol, the actors all collectively look terrible, even the kids look inbred.

Has to be bait. Out of every possible character they could complain about they would do so out of Steve. A character with no personality and a blank slate for anything.
Also I remember seeing somewhere that notch intentionally made Steve's skin color ambiguous so you can't be sure if he's white or brown. Can anyone confirm?
 
This movie is going to be for the Minecraft community what the 1993 Mario movie was for Nintendo fans. So unbelievably tragic.
 
I'm placing my bet that they spent more licensing The Beatles music for the trailer than making the film.

Speaking of which, I can't believe Apple Corps let them butcher Magical Mystery Tour like that. Why bother wih licensing a song from an iconic band if you're just going to make it sound like generic epic trailer music?

It's fucking Jumanji the Movie but for minecraft and kids. Calling it now.

That was my first thought as soon as the real people walked in. They got a wacky black, a buff guy, and 2 kids, it's the same movie but with blocks pretty much.

Based on everything in the trailer it feels like they couldn't decide if they wanted to rip off Mario, Sonic, or Jumanji so they just hodge podged together a Frankenstein monster of all three.
 
One thing I haven't seen many people mention is just how similar the movie is to Minecraft Legends, probably because nobody played Legends.
The plot is also about someone being taken from their world to help save another world from a piglin invasion.
The art style is similar, the individual blocks have a smaller scale, the mobs have bigger heads, and there's foliage absolutely everywhere:

There are blue portals scattered around:

But perhaps the biggest piece of evidence is that in the Nether you can see a guy who looks identical to one of the villains from Legends, the Seer (he appears briefly at 0:39 in the trailer).

to be honest i bet Warner put it in some legal document that he's not allowed to shit on it. (it started pre production in 2012 or something, when he still owned the ip, so it's likely that the legal doc he sighed is still valid) he's very vocal about things that he doesn't like, i bet in reality he really wants to meme and shit on it like the rest of the world but can't.
 
Sometimes I think I'm retarded. Then I realize that, with zero experience in the film industry whatsoever, I could have easily made a Minecraft film better than this.

This is especially strange because The Mario Movie came out a few years ago and was just a fairly faithful animated version of the games artistically and that did gangbusters. I fail to see why they'd want to make this with real actors if the entire film is going to be animated regardless.
 
I showed this trailer to my workout buddy. These are his predictions for the movie.

>Judging by the clothes of the characters, the characters are going to be in the mid 80's where the movie is set
>The group is going to be in a arcade
>There will be a rusty old arcade machine
> Jason Momoa is gonna bully the dude in the red hoodie to play it.
> THEY ALL GET SUCKED INTO MINECRAFT WORLD.
