Episode 113 - A Minecraft Movie (2025) Movie Review

Welcome back to DMR!

As I review the latest kids movie taking the world by storm:

"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."

The film as already made over $552m globaly in less than two weeks and has become the most successful video game based movie in history!

This film had elements of The Labyrinth, The Matrix & Tron; however it definitely stands on its own two feet despite some similarities.

This is what happens when you make a kids movie that stays true to its story and avoids adding in politics or changing a storyline.
