We knew it was time for a movie night after receiving A Minecraft Movie package from Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures.

Note: I received product for review purpose. Any views expressed are always 100% my own.

A Minecraft Movie is full of humor and fun video game references, which is great for fans of the video game.


We quickly opened out package, which included A Minecraft Movie items

• A Minecraft Movie Blu-ray
• A Minecraft Movie Swords
• A Minecraft Movie Blanket
• A Minecraft Movie Popcorn Bucket
• Orville Popcorn

Of course we set up the popcorn bucket, had a min sword fight while making the popcorn, then grabbed the blanket and settled on the couch for movie night.


Overall we enjoyed A Minecraft Movie since it was a funny easy watch. While as Minecraft fans we expected to see a bit more on theme storylines, there was fun scenes with the characters and actions that come from the video game. So families won't mind the blend in with the "regular" movie scenes.

We also enjoyed watching Jack Black play against the other actors. His energy took things to another level and add something special overall to A Minecraft Movie.

A Minecraft Movie is now available Digitally on digital platforms, including Amazon Prime Video, AppleTV, Fandango at Home, and more.

A Minecraft Movie is also available on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD from online and physical retailers.

SYNOPSIS

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 (Momoa), Henry (Hansen), Natalie (Myers) and Dawn (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 (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.

Stars Emma Myers (“Wednesday”), Oscar nominee Danielle Brooks (“The Color Purple”), Sebastian Eugene Hansen (“Just Mercy, “Lisey’s Story”), with Jennifer Coolidge.
