The Minecraft Movie: Dark Fantasy style - Fan made Minecraft trailer

[@MichaelOAnjo]

Its lonely. Feels exactly like playing in a singleplayer world. A perfect adaptation

[@paperplate09]

Such a great way description

[@MatthewHoffmann-x7q]

YES, I've been thinking that they should make a lonely, somber, even semi horror action movie. where its just Steve and a dog or Steve and Alex. surviving the harsh world where no night is safe. can see a villager village that's empty of inhabitants (personally a dog being there always makes it feel more lonely to me in a way, cuz they tend to wander and there's the worry that one day they may just not come back) could end the movie on a note of uncertainty as he enters the final portal near the ender dragon. there's A LOT of things that could be done. and I'm disappointed that all we get is a somehow even lesss serious jumanji film, from THE MOST popular game in the world. i will never cease to be amazed about how uncaringly companies will hurl a few hundred million dollars at something no one wants

[@admire0mekirkpatrick]

i completely agree. the shot with the mushroom cow and dead iron golem with a seemingly endless background, combined with no other humans in sight, really gives that same emptiness and almost horror vibe that the game gives.

[@michaeltabarroni70]

@admire0mekirkpatrick 100% agreed, that looks like it came out of a movie about liminal spaces.

[@zobrowkowiec4731]

That’s exactly what I thought too. It feels lonely and I would appreciate it if it was lonely because that defines the experience we had with this game. Just one or some more players in a world where only mobs exist

[@tompixel8117]

I never really noticed it but the actual minecraft soundtrack does sound very retro which would fit a dark style older looking fantasy film.

[@BlueBox2D]

Better than Minecraft jack black movie

[@ranzu3138]

That's because this is actually committing to its art direction, while the Minecraft movie doesn't even know if it wants to be realistic or made of cubes, resulting in a very inconsistent, strange and uncanny valley look (having real people in a CGI world doesn't help either)

[@Audinnnary]

showed this to my brother and he actually made a very good point, unlike the real movie trailer this one accurately captures how just aimlessly wandering the world at the beginning feels

[@Th30nly0n]

It captures the feel of a new world and exploration far better than the original movie did.

[@doublecrestedcormorant]

And the sense of lonesomeness, surrounded by creatures that are so different from you. The real minecraft movie has so many human characters. Not that it isn’t relevant bc Minecraft has multiplayer, but idk something about a sole character exploring a peculiar world is more fascinating to me. But I guess it’s more of a gimmicky movie to appeal only to kids and to sell more merch 🤷‍♀️ sucks cuz if they really put effort in they could’ve made something really cool and enjoyable for all aged Minecraft fans :/

[@Kidd2965]

This is what I was just thinking about. That lonely feeling

[@wiliam7524]

[@flynnmorrison6446]

I totally agree. I reckon if you are going to make something involving minecraft, you should lean into the message of the game, which was told in the "End Credits." Minecraft is about not giving up when facing the challenges the universe poses, believing you are loved, and keep dreaming that things will get better. And that there is no such thing as an "End," only another beginning. That's at least what I interpret, I'm glad I could just dump lol.

[@blightedong]

The reason the original movie is fine, it’s just that originally we thought it was supposed to be THE Minecraft movie. But, the main protagonist is actually a modder and just found a sketchy mod that sent them into the realm. That’s the only reason the world looks so different and there’s humans in it.

It captures the melancholy feeling and the feeling of loneliness you feel throughout a single player world very well. Everything here is perfect.

Even though it's not blocky, it still hits the criteria of what is Minecraft. It looks nothing like the game and yet it is one of the most Minecrafty looking videos. It doesn't need to be 1-1 accurate looking to the blocky world, what really let us know that this is the Minecraft world is something a bit more important, the tone and theme. That's where the Minecraft movie really went wrong, because even if they could make the animation look good, it still wouldn't feel like Minecraft. And that's because the Minecraft move has Jumaji's theme, not Minecraft's theme, not Minecraft's soul. This video may not share the same shape of Minecraft, but it shares the same heart, flesh, blood, and soul of Minecraft

0:48 is probably the best shot

[@Dreamland-us6]

This is what the Minecraft movie should have been

[@Chilldude-zh1lt]

Especially if they want to make a live action, the vibe of this captures such a cool perspective.

[@alasstorgd826]

nope

[@shilpa6504]

This is fucking beautiful , the atmosphere captures a essence of a eerie lonely world . This exactly feels like the feeling of playing in minecraft for the first time alone . This masterpiece should not deserve to be the original minecraft trailer it *SHOULD* be the minecraft trailer .

[@moppenmeester]

This looks fantastic, this has such a good balance between animation and real life. This was exactly what the original minecraft trailer failed to do.

[@akhil_1210]

YES! THIS IS WHAT WE WANT. Either fully realistic or Minecraft styled animation.

[@dego7504]

I loved the bushy Creeper detail. In older versions, the original Creeper texture was actually from the Leaves block texture, and still is.

[@isenal]

Best part zero AI generation here. This guy have great talent in filming and cgi. Awesome production.

[@Wayhoo]

See how much better this looks when it's not AI generated?!?

[@icemagiciangh]

I love that, especially after seeing the teaser, so many artist went, “Fine. We’ll do it ourselves.” and made things like _this_

[@glenfoxh]

The fight with the skeleton at 0:42, looks like a replication of the skeleton fight in the move, Jason And The Argonauts. So well done! And fun to see in this setting. Good Job. ^.^

[@bornabencic3499]

The nether portal burning in purple flames is such a good depiction

[@hajjex_9086]

The contrast between the horror/liminal clips with the goofy mobs REALLY creates an interesting and unique atmosphere. I REALLY REALLY love this.

[@JRZPlayz]

This is exactly what i imagined a minecraft movie should look like 🔥🔥

[@aleatoriedadepure]

That's how minecraft movie should be, a medieval styled live action one, no blocks, just a dark universe

[@SilentYeti69]

I love the usage of classic movie tricks to create some of these scenes, especially the one for the nether. Idk how much of this was AI-assisted but I love the nether painting. I would actually pay to see a minecraft movie like this.

[@CandyThePuppy]

I really love how all the graphics have this 80s style to them. Not because I grew up in that era and am nostalgic, but because it really does fit the uncanny vibes a movie like this needs.

[@Spencycle]

I absolutely LOVE the design of the Enderman. It's lanky and shadowy and looks like it's roaming the land searching for something it may never find, alone.

[@maksimal3498]

unironically this is perfect the dark fantasy style has something so... amazing in it, so weird, so perfect for minecraft

[@Kippur2008]

geniuses! giving it the old-style Claymation special "CGI" is an odd but incredible twist.

[@kamajamalaks]

Easily could've won cinematography of the year, would give people hope in not only the directors but also just adaptations in general, still respects the game but also is live action. Literally could've been perfect

[@PalmDEV]

I NEED MORE! PLEASE MAKE THIS AN ACTUAL SHORT FILM!! Start a kickstarter if needed, I'll be the first supporter!

[@LordParcyval]

this

[@DelightfulJay]

oh this is incredible!! I love the old like, 80s and earlier style with the effects, with the stop motion style animation and obvious compositing it's sooo good!!!

[@Damon_Blue]

I absolutely ADORE the 80s fantasy film style.

[@glaedrludos]

This gave me the same feeling I had the first time I played Minecraft so many years ago. That feeling of everything being so strange yet fascinating! The feeling of being alone in a strange world with weird monsters and an uncanny emptiness that was left to you to fill. Absolutely phenomenal job on this and I would absolutely watch this if it were a real movie!!!

[@endlesstales185]

I can confidently say that not only would I watch such a movie, I would rewatch it, cherish it, and still talk about it years later.

[@Juphs]

This is exactly what I imagined Minecraft as when I was a kid. Looks absolutely phenomenal.

[@theneutrongamer2950]

If you guys decided to make an entire film out of this setting, make Minecraft as deadly, fun, adventurous as it is, I’m pretty sure it would be a world wide hit and everyone would even fund this project if needed.

[@evansantoso7521]

Microsoft would sue

[@SymbolCymbals2356]

Nails that old film vfx look, I especially love the dark mat lines around the ghasts

[@Sprite_thefilmnerd]

That feeling of emptiness, of being here all alone. Of this world being truly desolate, that’s what Minecraft feels like, it isn’t a fun, silly group comedy movie. It’s isolated, it’s creepy, it’s weird, and this trailer does that entire concept PERFECTLY. The shots of the enderman and the creeper, or the guy going through the forest alone, i felt it most there. It’s so good. If a movie like this got made and the character just didn’t speak at all throughout, that. That would be Minecraft

[@Nothanks-g8n]

This captures Minecraft so well with how liminal it all feels with the music, and the old style goes well with that feeling.
