A Minecraft Movie

By


Source: Youtube Warner Bros.

The world of video games has once again rocked the big screen with the highly anticipated adaptation: A Minecraft Movie. This isn't just another children's film, but a fantasy comedy-adventure that has captured the hearts of audiences. Directed by Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite, Nacho Libre) and starring a star-studded cast including Jason Momoa and Jack Black. 

PLOT SUMMARY

The story centers on four mismatched individuals from the small town of Chuglass, Idaho: Garrett "The Garbage Man" Garrison (Jason Momoa), a former gaming champion who now owns a struggling video game store; Henry (Sebastian Hansen), a creative but awkward kid; Natalie (Emma Myers), Henry's protective older sister; and Dawn (Danielle Brooks), a real estate agent with a traveling mini-zoo. 

Their ordinary lives are drastically changed when Henry accidentally activates the Orb of Dominance and the Earth Crystal that Garrett discovered. The combination of these two artifacts opens a mysterious portal that draws them all to the Overworld, a blocky realm where imagination is key to survival. 

In the Overworld, they meet Steve (Jack Black), an eccentric "master craftsman" who has spent years living in the Overworld. Formerly a doorknob seller, Steve now serves as their mentor on their journey through the Overworld. In the Overworld, they must master the art of crafting and building, while facing threats like the evil Piglins led by Malgosha and hordes of Zombies.

 

REVIEW 

The best part of "A Minecraft Movie" lies in its comedy and visuals. Director Jared Hess successfully injects his distinctive, slightly absurdist humor, especially through his main characters. The film's close resemblance to the original game will delight die-hard fans, from the manipulable block mechanics to the appearance of various iconic creatures.

Jack Black as Steve is the star of the show. In all his glory, Black delivers hilarious and unpredictable chaos, with goofy dialogue and antics that make his character feel alive and far from mere gimmicks. Jason Momoa also delivers a standout performance as Garrett, a "garbage man" with a heart of gold who transforms into a cube world. 

The only criticism of the film is that the real-world conspiracy storyline feels a little too long, with the film spending a considerable amount of time at the beginning before the characters actually enter the Overworld. However, once the cube world adventure begins, the pace of the film becomes fast-paced and entertaining, concluding with a battle that utilizes the creativity of crafting, reminiscent of Minecraft. 

CAST

  • Jason Momoa - Garrett "The Garbage Man" Garrison

  • Jack Black - Steve

  • Emma Myers - Natalie

  • Danielle Brooks - Dawn

  • Sebastian Hansen - Henry

  • Jennifer Coolidge - Marlene (Wakil Kepala Sekolah)

IS IT WORTH IT ?

Overall, A Minecraft Movie 2025 is a visual and comedic feast that will delight fans of all ages, especially Minecraft fans. With solid performances from the actors, especially Jack Black and Jason Momoa, this film far exceeded my expectations.
