‘A Minecraft movie’, the video game that bets on creativity and whose adaptation to cinema lacks it: a boring chaos difficult to digest

The video game adaptationsthat little great universe so helped for the great productions and that, on the occasion, they are up to the cinematographic version (if we ignore the series format in which it would be, for example, for example, for example, for example, for example, for example, for example, for example, for example, for example, for example, for example, for example The Last of Us).

Of course, there are exceptions. In the memory, there we have Silent Hill that, at the time, he managed to bring the language of the Survival game to the film terrain with a good handful of findings and large doses of visual imagination.

However, in general, most attempts are not live up to expectations, see blockbusters as forgetting as Assassin’s Creed, Prince of Persia or the ‘reboot’ of Mortal Kombat. There are cases, with the resident Evilthat have ended up embedding popular memory by insistence, as well as the iconic image of Milla Jovovichsomething that could also be said of the Lara Croft From Angelina Jolie.

Beyond all those circumstances that compete to collective memory, the relationship between the two spheres, that of the video game and the cinema, it is most complicated, especially when it comes to real image (Let’s obviate animation, much more prone to the creative element, as demonstrated Super Mario Bros: The movie).

Now it has reached the turn of Minecraftone of the best -selling video games in history and that has been generating followers since its launch, crossing several generations. It was almost inevitable that the landing of the film became an event and, for the moment, in its first weekend at the box office in our country, he has collected More than 5 million eurosbecoming the best premiere of what we have of 2025.

That doesn’t mean it’s a good movie. Actually, it cannot be more disastrous. Let’s analyze why. The universe of Minecraft It is based on creativity, ability to inventto build, to unleash the imagination. That is, at least, the premise of his cosmogony and, also, of the film itself when establishing the contrast between The world of fantasyrectangular and perfect with which it symbolizes the chaos and destruction of the underworld.

And what happens? That in the movie we do not find Not an inspiration apexonly a cluster of computer -created images that are most confusing and arbitrarythat do not have the slightest narrative sense and that configure a real ‘totum revolution’ difficult to digest.

There is no plot cohesionas if every ‘Set Pièce’ was on its side, practically without having anything to do with the previous one, and we do not refer to changing the screen, as in video games, but to a purely organic issue that dynamite any type of comparison between disciplines in that sense.

It is a real penalty, since the director’s choice pointed to something completely different. It’s about Jared HESSthat a hole was made within the American independent cinema thanks to Napoleon Dynamite (2004), in which a good part of the bases of the Post-humor contemporary.

And some of that are in the characters of A Minecraft movie That, in reality, they are all ‘blurred’ beings, marginalized within a society that does not understand them and that, for that reason, are responsible for building their own world.

However, on this occasion, any sense of authorship is found phagocyted by machinery. There is not a glimpse of ingenuity, just one Color image cluster noisy willing to drill the brain of the little ones and, hopefully, of the fans of the franchise for the winks, allusions that it may contain.

In the cast, Jack Black maintains the spirit of his character, fun and strict, as well as Jason Momoa in his role as ‘Macarra’ ‘eighties’. In his little role, Jennifer Coolidge It continues to be erected in a ‘roba-escenas’ but, none of them reaches the status of achieving a memorable role.

A Minecraf moviet is accelerated, confusingschizophrenic and, at the same time boredsomething really unforgivable.
