I'm gonna take every positive thing back I've said about the movie if they didn't pay honor to techoblade in the movie, I don't expect them to show something like that in the trailer, but as for the final movie, if there's no reference or at least mention of Technoblade, that would be genuinely disgusting and tasteless

[@temanor]

This is the most sane take on the teaser I have seen yet. Mumbo seems really excited by it, while everyone else I have seen has been saying nothing but bad stuff about it. I think the movie has some potential, but I'm also not the biggest fan of real life people in a minecraft world. I hope the rest of the movie will be slightly better though.

[@sonolumiecho]

agreed. mumbo seemed like he was hesitant to say anything negative because he understands the effort theyve put into it, which i understand. you could kinda tell in his voice he wasnt saying everything he wanted to. everyone else is 100% negative. this is a great video with some great takes.

[@anecro]

There's a reason the majority is shitting on it. Nobody expected this to be liked by absolutely everyone, I mean look at the reach of the game, and we all understand this. I personally understand the team and artists behind it too, as I've been into cg, 3d, animation, conceptual drawing / illustration and learning how productions actually function for more or less 15 years now. I love movies, I love games, I love the art of them so I've tried doing everything by myself to varying degrees. And you know what I think? It sucks. As it stands it shows no respect for its audience, source material and it's not even trying with its premise. The actual "developers" of the movie, the people working on it, aren't to blame for corporate and higher up decisions just like in videogames. You don't see a videogame, book or work of art in general get a pass on the basis of "the work behind it". The people working on it are getting paid and continue to make connections. The majority reflects the average opinion, and that says people didn't like it very much. You can bet your sweet pp multiple employees have rolled their eyes a thousand times by now hearing the stupid decisions the higher ups have made and given to them as work to complete. The movie has "some" potential in the same vein a new generic adventure Hollywood movie does, as in existing thanks to overdone tropes and operating in things we've seen before that are hardly related to the game at hand. So far. By the looks of it. "Real people" doesn't even scratch how bad they've butchered Minecraft visually here, it's like they're trying to piss people off. Again, saying this as an artist. They're ditching the whole point of Minecraft by trying to smooth out every surface and make it all realistic when you damn well know a faithful adaptation with just photoreal lighting and good animation would suffice in delivering what the majority expected. And I seriously hope you don't give the movie a pass when it ends up being an exact copy of Jumanji or every generic thirst anime ever with its inciting incident and subsequent boring storyline / extreme character caricatures.

[@conejitorosada2326]

​@@sonolumiechoJust because something took a lot of effort doesn't mean it should be seen in a positive light when it's simply bad. The Minecraft movie is ashamed to be Minecraft. There's no way of putting it. We respect the effort that the animators did, but we cannot respect nor deny the fact that it's crap.

[@OccasionallyAPrincess]

Ye I think it was refreshing to see a more mature take on it, 1 in a 1000 on KZbin here. But also the negativity actually makes me feel a little better, to know that people won’t stand for this corporate mush. Cause if people don’t stand up to it, the industry will just keep pushing for it. They don’t care about creativity, it’s all about the money to them. But at the same time I am 99% convinced the negativity is all just talk and everyone will end up watching it in the end. Which will be even more detrimental, it will just reaffirm to the industry that ‘people don’t know what they want’ and they’ll continue with their crap. I for one will stick by my principles and not watch the movie unless there’s gonna be any changes made, but i doubt others will

The minecraft movie kind of looks like when you ask AI to make a minecraft image and all the blocks are different sizes

[@Celeste_51]

It really does look AI, especially the animals. I’m sure I’ll get used to it but for now it just seems a little wierd and unsettling

[@draco6349]

it's especially weird to me because- at a large scale, it works. that huge arch in the opening? i would LOVE for that kind of thing to generate in vanilla minecraft, where the structure is visibly made of huge weathered cubes made of smaller cubes even from a distance. but when you get close up, and stuff starts going smaller than the 1 meter grid, and even below the scale of stairs and slabs, into Chisels-and-Bits territory- THAT's where it breaks down and starts being uncanny. it's a similar issue with the trees, but they have the additional problem of having all of their blocks kind of overlap and melt into each other, going beyond even the Dynamic Trees mod. overall the result is just extremely uncanny, even if you ignore the absolutely horrendous mobs.

what makes me sad is that Minecraft will never have another shot to make this right. fixing the visuals, changing the story, casting better actors, including iconic KZbinrs, and truly making this a fan celebration of over 10 years of Minecraft. Not just a b B-grade kids movie with over the top humor and random pop songs that play every 5 minutes.

[@piggycelerygamer2323]

Unlike the sonic movie, where only 1 character's design was changed, the whole movie needs to be reworked. That's a lot of time and effort that the directors really don't want to go through, unfortunately. I think the best way to resolve this issue is if the community comes together, bringing all of the iconic KZbinrs, and make their own animated movie.

you certainly have a more optimistic take on this teaser than the others i have come across. i’m right there with you; even though the stylistic choices are questionable, it’s really rather unfair to judge the whole film just off the teaser alone.

[@anecro]

Maybe they should learn how to make teasers and trailers finally. You know, the whole "teaser killing its film" routine Hollywood absolutely loves doing. Or maybe the advertisement and promotional team had nothing else to work off of. Because essentially everything about the movie so far stinks, not exactly a single aspect they brought to light accidentally.

[@BananaWasTaken]

Mumbo Jumbo also had a really optimistic take on the film (mainly because he likes the director, but a good director can’t always save a film if it’s gone through production hell (just look at the hobbit movies)).

the backlight was something i never thought about and you're the only person i know that talked about it. a really good catch and now that you talked about it, i can't help but try to figure out where the sun is

[@AxTechs]

The thing is, cinematographers, even in live action films, plan around back lighting actors, if you watch almost any films. If it’s outside, and there’s sunlight, the actor is backlit, regardless of narrative. A great example of this is a film like Knives out: glass onion, the light is so shaped because throughout a 10hour day, the sun moves, so you plan around that fact and have the actors, where possible, backlit. Steve Yedlin, ASC even says in a podcast that he did a similar thing on Star Wars as audiences will tell if an image looks “bad” but won’t tell if the light switches directions A similar thing is present with a film like ready player one, and that doesn’t look as strange as the minecraft move even within its CG sections. It does have to do with the lighting style, but less so as a result of the backlight itself, and more as a result of the quality of light being much softer than if real sunlight was wrapped around someone’s face. The contrast would be closer to 3 stops rather than the current 1 stop or even no stop ratio An audiences direction of light only really matters in wide shots, and when a source is clearly visible (like a window) but outside of that it can change quite a lot, and typically does on purpose, to make the story run smoother and to allow for actors faces to be visible at the right point in the story

[@valmetcat8042]

To be fair, diversity feels like an important thing to have in a Minecraft movie. They did everything terribly yes, but the Minecraft community is incredibly diverse and a Minecraft movie should definitely reflect the diversity of said community and how Minecraft players really are.

I wanted Castaway scenario. Man wakes up on the beach, near the crushed ship, thin beard, tan, ragged clothes and no memory, in frustration he punches rotten tree and uses its branch and some stone to make a ax, makes a shelter, at night he wakes up and when he looks out he sees a monster made of moss that explodes killing him instantly, he wakes up on the beach but it's not a time loop, his help sign is still there, and when he goes to place his shelter was there is a create but no corpses, the stick that went through his chest is pinned to the ground but there's no blood, he decides to not think about it and to protect himself, feed himself and something tells him there's no help, so he goes into the wilderness. Good old school adventure movie, main character says barely anything for 30min, he meets wierd natives who speak gibberish not resembling any known language. No Minecraft aesthetic, pixel art any of that just nods to the nature of minecraft's world. It could go into ridiculous territory like wes Anderson movie with Steve having desert on one side of the screen and tundra on the other being mindfucked as to how, but also capable of real horror the night or other dimensions in Minecraft can be.

Also the minecraft animation sphere is full of popular, high quality fan work that is meant for the same audience (I think its safe to say kids now access youtube and 'creeper? Aw man' is popular enough you know revenge has been seen nearly a billion times) So I can absolutely even see kids who play this game hating on it. Why does that leave? Kids who don't play this game who just went cause their parent's saw a kids movie to stick em in front of? While I am now an adult, with child siblings and their friends, they all think this is weird.

While I'm not too hopeful it's really too early to tell. I think it really comes down to the tone of the film. If it doesn't take itself seriously at all and leans into the surrealism of it then it could definitely work especially with the cast they have. If they try to tell a serious story however it will end up a complete disaster. Regardless it would have definitely worked better animated. It's also important that the internet hive mind doesn't decide its opinion before the film even releases. Also love seeing you bring in your film knowledge with this video certainly comes full circle from the early days of content like inhaler man.

I'd honestly love to see someone make a texture/resource pack for minecraft in the style of this trailer. It does look very cool visually, it's just not that much like Minecraft. It could look really cool to play in though, especially with raytracing and some of the more recent upgrades to lighting like that.

[@encounteringjack5699]

Yeah, design-wise, I like the idea of making it realistic since we have seen many little stories of normal Minecraft style animation. However, they should’ve just made it either all look like the piglins (blocky but realistic) or just not at all blocky and look like those art pieces where you skeletons, spiders, and creepers look like real life creatures.

[@alexisnewbery8153]

I completely agree with your perspective Stampy, though I might not be as optimistic as you haha... I think they completely fell short of the majority's expectation, or rather hope. I can't stop finding animation issues, and it makes the whole project feel lazily done, like they aren't giving it their all. Most noticeable are that the sheep and llama have eyes too glossy for the environment, and don't match up with the lighting on their coat. The teeth are also way too real to fit in the halfway animated halfway real type of look they have going on. Basically, it's the same issues critics found in Sonic's first design. I don't really like any of their wardrobe or stylistic choices as far as the live action characters go, and I can already feel a vibe of poor script writing. I also noticed the backlighting issue, and it honestly really bugs me...

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@309electronics5]

I agree with you! The movie should have been animated cause (no hate to jack or the other actoes who did a good job) but just because of the fact that it mixes real life with minecract while minecraft ≠ real life which makes it kind of weird imo... Also the lighting throws me off and i aint a movie expert but it distracts me.... Still it aint as bad as other movies i watched but i hope an animated version comes out with minecraft characters instead of jack wearing a blue shirt with a greenscreen behind him and tons of light. mc Story mode is actually how imo it should be. Purely focussing on the game and not real life.
