Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity doesn't just help you craft, it's essential to one's survival! Four misfits--Garrett "The Garbage Man" Garrison (Jason Momoa), Henry (Sebastian Eugene Hansen), Natalie (Emma Myers) and Dawn (Danielle Brooks)--find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they'll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like Piglins and Zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve (Jack Black). Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative... the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world.

Critics Consensus

Ostensibly a film about celebrating creativity, A Minecraft Movie provides a colorful sandbox for Jack Black and Jason Momoa to amusingly romp around in a story curiously constructed from conventional building blocks.

Audience Says

Beyond being a fertile meme-factory, A Minecraft Movie proves how much fun two men with beards can bring to the sandbox.

Along the way there is cubist eye candy and colourful adventure for children, some blue innuendo for adults, and Jack Black’s absurdist singing for everyone.

The film’s anarchy might reflect a lot of younger players’ first experience with Minecraft, where destruction can be just as fun as creation. Missing on the big screen, meanwhile, is the odd, remote atmosphere that drew me in.

2.5/4

“A Minecraft Movie” is quirky and goofy enough to make one wish it held together better overall, but it’s also a likable venture.

Jack Black enthusiastically explaining how to craft a pickaxe is enough. Sometimes Jason Momoa getting chased by a creeper while wearing a pink leather jacket is cinema

A chuckle here and there but focusing the story on the battles rather than the building and invention that set the game apart is a real lost opportunity for the masses of children that will see this.

There are five credited screenwriters here and it feels like a film that had five different passes.

This one was so hysterical and Jack Black is always a good time. And of course, one of the most iconic songs of 2025. La la la lava cha-cha-cha chicken.
