There certainly are a lot of adults playing minecraft. What I rather appreciate is that people can play together across age groups and play styles.

As much as I normally hate "edgy" remakes of old IP, making a David Lynch-esque Minecraft movie about untreated mental illness and the dark underbelly of society through the eyes of a person experiencing an acute psychotic break might be something I'd actually pay money for.
But not this anodyne Hollywood cash-in dreck.

The point being, kids will want to see it. Adults may or may not be entertained. And the decision rests on whether it's less annoying hearing the kids whine about not being able to see it, or suffering the aftermath of having watched it with the kids.
Possibly both...

The visuals look absolutely terrific. Not sure the movie looks any good though. But I feel like I'm going to be obligated to take the kids to see it considering how much time we've spent playing Minecraft over the years.

You're being downvoted because the only YouTube Minecraft Let's Play videos that matter are made by Etho.

I would even place bets that the majority of Minecraft players are adults. It's just a nice escape from day to day stresses. Most kids are either on Roblox or COD. Fortnite is in there somewhere but not sure which age group is mostly attached to that one.

ARQ and that other movie where the friends create time machines and cause chaos for each other sound more like what a DF movie would be like.

This is the one takeaway I got from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

100% agree. And I am very much looking forward to seeing it with my kids (who I have spent countless hours minecrafting with over the years)

This trailer was much better than the previous. I was worried it would be a Sonic with human teeth abomination. I'm getting more dorky romp. I'll give it a watch from my couch.

Dayummm Steve installed some nice texture packs and raytracing shader mods.
(anyone know the world seed for his movie?)

Not really a movie, but Netflix had a Minecraft interactive story a couple of years ago, but they pulled it...
That"s a shame, it was good for kids, but perhaps they'll add it again to ride these movie trailers.

my main concern is that large part of the movie seems to be based on lore found in minecraft:dungeons but not in the base game. don't get me wrong the lore in dungeons is fine, but it's not something most of the viewers will be familiar with.
apart from the above and the fact it's yet another movie with jack black playing jack black it seems perfectly fine easy to watch flick. something that parents can watch with their kids and not be bored to death, maybe even try to play the game together. this would be ideal situation if the alternative is topics from top of the social media pages.

This trailer is just about infinitely better than the first one.
Silly, goofy, and all that, but suggests that simple silly fun might be had.

It's a life action based on something with cartoonish aesthetic. It's doomed. Cowboy Bepop live action, the Dragon Ball live action movie, One Piece live action...
Doing live action of anime and cartoons does not work.

I can't help but think that this movie is mostly an attempt by MS/Mojang to revive interest in Minecraft (particularly to introduce a new generation of kids to it) as sales start to slump.
So, they are probably hoping that a ticket sale is followed by also an account sale.

I “played” that with my kids as it was also available on console.

Who is “we”? I think that’s just about the worst casting imaginable
No, it looks like unacceptable trash.
Why does it seem like the “film criticism” on this site is geared toward convincing the audience that all nerd-adjacent properties are palatable instead of actually critiquing them?

Hey, how else do you shift the Overton window to get people comfortable with child labour back in the mines?
Those regulation changes, to free business from the tyranny of the "administrative state", need the right amount of astroturfing to be palatable and have the rubes demanding the freedom to send their kids to work in the mines!

You didn't watch it, did you? I was hoping more people would be familiar with fitzthislewits, but apparently not.

As a grown-arse mid-40's adult Minecraft fan who recently got back into creative/"artistic"/SSP builds and is really enjoying mucking around with redstone contraptions again, I am very much looking forward to the movie releasing so I can watch a bunch of likewise grown-arse adult Minecraft fans losing their fucking minds because they feel like the movie wasn't made to cater exclusively to them, "the old school/hardcore players who have been here since Indev, the true fans". Y'know... the self-appointed gatekeepers.
The online responses I've seen to the trailers have generally seemed to be pretty positive, or at least not actively shitting on the project. But there's always a couple of people already having a whinge, and I'm betting those people are going to go thermonuclear unless everything about the movie is exactly what they wanted it to be (essentially a 100% world-and-lore-accurate Let's Play on a cinema-sized screen). Which it quite clearly won't be.
Popcorn will definitely be required.

Anyone taking a movie like this seriously, in any way whatsoever, is best put on your ignore list.Popcorn will definitely be required.
It's ridiculous on purpose. Trying to gatekeep would be purely clueless.
I think most older Minecraft players will realize this, and that you'll end up eating very little popcorn.

Those sets look wild. I watched the trailer and went yeah look good, probably all just green screen and CGI. It does look like a mix of full size sets and miniatures in the BTS video. The realism but it's not quite a real world is hard for my brain to fully comprehend
