immediate thoughts on this.
1- it looks bad. like visually. the environment is lovely and imo as good as it could get but the animals look gross and “humans in a cgi environment” never looks good
2- yet another case of whitewashing steve despite him being dark skinned in game?!? why is jack black here. hes better as a voice actor than a screen actor imo
3- “group of normal humans enter a magical world with video game mechanics” has already been done. this is just the jumanji reboot again
4- why are the antagonists seemingly the. piglins? they become neutral harmless mobs in the overworld. theyre ALREADY neutral mobs in the nether if you wear gold! the ender dragon would have been MUCH more interesting to see in a teaser
5- i hate hate hate the quippy marvel-isms. its such a crutch that screenwriters lean on nowadays when they cant actually write interesting characters

I don't get it I don't get this actually for real how did they fuck it up this bad
this is so incredibly unbelievable that they're actually there, they're so desaturated compared to The MineCraft and the lighting is so different I'm suprised they even bothered to set them in the right angle, they might as well have not bothered nothing you can do can make it less believeable than this
me when I hold my squorb with a blurred overlay and nothing else, I did more than this on my shitty half assed nuke assignment how the fuck was this run, how rushed is this shit
they got the squorb lit in this shot although it seems to be small and floating this time, epic (it could be a plot point that it becomes small and floating though, it's not like anyones going to watch the full movie and find out though)
LMAO the lights coming from the complete wrong direction in this shot and it looks just as believable I was right
this shot looks a lot more believeable, they actually bothered to do the same harsh lighting as the background. but that just proves they CAN do it but just?? didn't??? why???????? also I'm pretty sure the wood block background is an actual real prop.
and of course the greatest shot of all time, congratulations there is nothing I have ever believed less. the fucking stained glass knight looks more believeable than this, and it certainly was A Choice to have that little shrub there that looks like an actual tree, so the people look fucking massive at first glance

You know what? I'm gonna make a Minecraft movie
This is a plot I banged out over the course of like three hours at work so bear with me.
Movie starts. Main Guy just got fired from his job or something. He goes home to his house, greets his dog, agonizes over how he's going to pay for said dog with this development. Dog comes up wanting to play fetch, has a mcguffin in its mouth. Main Guy takes it and fiddles with it that night.
Mcguffin activates.
Guy winds up in Minecraft world. Spends a day freaking out about everything. Finds a dirt house someone else made and spends the night there to escape the monsters.
There's a map there. Takes that to a village
Meets Alex. She doesn't speak.
Alex is in the middle of saving a village from an Illager raid. Main Guy helps.
It takes a turn into a rescue mission for captured Villagers. The Illagers are hunting for a Trial Chamber with a legendary weapon (the mace).
After that arc is complete, Main Guy has an Allay as a pet and a new friend in a Villager he saved. Gang's all there, all adventures from here on out will be with MG, Alex, Villager, and Allay.
They go to Alex's home base. It's neat, but it's very clear she's not the only one that's lived there.
MG manages to convey to Alex that he needs a way home. And she's got the Ender Dragon egg, but doesn't have the rest of the equipment to get to the End and make the portal home.
Trip into the Deep Dark, ancient city, Warden fight while getting diamonds.
Villager takes the diamonds and makes a pickaxe for them.
They get obsidian and make a Nether Portal. Trip to the Nether to find a fortress and get blaze rods and ender pearls.
While they're in the Nether, they come across the Wither Briar. It's a new biome that's spreading, wither roses everywhere, with a Wither at the center.
They get the supplies they need, but the Wither catches them and attacks. They barely make it out alive; Villager gets zombified.
Rush to a witch to get Villager healed.
It gets revealed that Alex and her friends once took on the Wither, but it turned out too destructive and they lost the battle and several friends. They split up then. The Wither's been terrorizing the local Piglins and spreading the zombie infection ever since.
MG gets up, determined, gearing up and reentering the Nether. Epic battle against the Wither. The Wither Briar dies, the Piglins rejoice.
MG, Alex, and Villager start gearing up to find the Stronghold, with help from the village, Piglins, witch, etc. MG gets a unique armor trim that's not in the game.
Melancholy travel. Alex and Villager are gonna miss MG a LOT, and he's considering whether or not he wants to leave.
Stronghold leads to the End, End City fight for an Elytra.
Final fight with the Ender Dragon, hesitation, then final goodbyes. The group all jumps into the portal together.
MG winds up back home in his bed, in the real world, but he still has his gear and the sword he used to slay the Ender Dragon with.
He gets the mcguffin that sent him to Minecraft in the first place and is about to destroy it. He second-guesses it. Epic montage of him grabbing the things he needs to go.
He puts on a blue shirt and dark jeans. He packs his bag with apples, a slice of cake, and a map. He grabs his dog, a fluffy gray one with a red collar, then he activates the mcguffin again.
End poem plays, followed by the credits rolling.
Post-credits at the end with Minecraft music playing, Steve rolls up to Alex's house as she and Villager are building a beacon out of the Nether Star the Wither dropped. He helps them finish it, the beacon shoots into the sky, then they go into her house.
Alex looks at the map hopefully, waiting for her friends as the sun goes down, but all it shows is hers and Steve's icons on it…then someone else's shows up, just barely at the border. It's one of the other "default" players.
End of movie.
