I tried looking for videos of people playing through the story. All I found were builders and a weird game of hide-and-seek.
Against all logic, the lackluster A Minecraft Movie isn’t doing lackluster numbers, currently dominating in theaters. As usual, Hollywood’s press agents in the media are having trouble grasping this, but the director has an easy answer: people really like Minecraft. Someone in the comments also noted that it’s a kids movies adults don’t mind sitting through, meaning parent and child can go together. I hear it is more respective of the source material, even if it’s mostly references in a story with uninteresting characters. I’m not into the franchise so I have no plans to see it either way, but it is interesting that it kicked live action Snow White‘s butt as well as being one of the better received video game adaptations.
