‘A Minecraft Movie’ Review: Jack Black And Jason Momoa Dig Deep For Meaning In Video Game Adaptation With Some Jennifer Coolidge Gems


'A Minecraft Movie' transports viewers right into the world of the video game with adventures galore for its main players. Read Deadline's review.

The low rent and full time opportunity for Natalie to run the potato factory’s social media accounts provides an offer they can’t refuse, though Henry struggles to fit in at school on his first day as a creative child who thinks outside the box and embellishes his still-life portrait of a banana and orange. The quirky humor characteristic to details of the game such as night falling every 20 minutes and Steve’s collection of unisex turquoise blouses left behind in a storage unit with a vintage Atari also spawn laughs. Title: A Minecraft Movie Distributor: Warner Bros Pictures Release date: April 4, 2025 Director: Jared Hess Screenwriters: Chris Bowman, Hubbel Palmer, Neil Widener, Chris Galletta, Gavin James, Allison Schroeder Cast: Jack Black, Jason Momoa, Sebastian Hansen, Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, Jennifer Coolidge, Rachel House, Jemaine Clement, Hiram Garcia Rating: PG Running time: 1 hr 41 mins
