Review: Popular video games and its film adaptations. Most of the time, they don’t
work, with of course a few exceptions. The wildly popular Minecraft games, in
which players can do whatever they want in an open world, is up next. I’m definitely
not the target audience. But it’s also not a very good movie.
We meet Steve, played by
Jack Black, who discovers and orb (which is a cube, but okay) that leads him to
the Overworld. With a quick introduction, we see how he enters it and starts
building things. Everything is cube shaped and Steve loves how he can use his
creativity to build whatever he wants. But there is also danger hidden within
this world. And that’s why Steve decides to hide the orb, so no one else can
ever enter it. Of course, in the real world this orb is found. By struggling
entrepreneur and former gaming champion Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison.
The visuals are good, I bet
fans really love this. Jack Black is fun, but his character is very generic and
he really draws all the attention to him. Black has always an actor you either
love or hate. I happen to love him. Jason Momoa is funny, loved him together
with Jack Black. They make for a very good duo. The rest of the characters are
pretty forgettable. There is this side-plot of a character from the Overworld
entering the real world, meeting Jennifer Coolidge’s characters. Which was
absolutely ridiculous. Even for a family film. But other than Momoa and Black,
I cannot find anything I liked about it. The world didn’t interest me, I never
really understood the hype of this game anyway, so that didn’t help.
I cannot judge if Minecraft
fans love this film or not, like I stated before, I’m not the target audience.
I do know that I didn’t like this film.
Rating: 2/ 5
