With scale take the big arch scene for example, does it look cool? As much as I hate to admit it, yes. But is it possible within Minecraft's limited scale and vanila blocks? No, because some are so offset you'd need something like the copycat blocks mod to recreate it 1:1. It just doesn't feel faithful to the game in that regard which is a shame, especially when - dare I say it, Minecraft storymode does a better job of such even with it's slight deviations from Minecraft. As for the "general meh" it just feels like there's no.. substance here, the only question is who the other people are meant to be but other than that you just don't feel anything, it feels so bland and tasteless and doesn't evoke any emotions that keep you interested let alone excited to watch.

The base concept of making this some sort of Isekai is fundamentally flawed. Not only does this guarantee the first half hour is going to be the characters going "What the heck?! Everything is cubes! How wacky!" before we can actually get to the story, but it also feels like, before the movie even begins, the creators have already given up on any attempt at sincerity. It shows an unwillingness to engage with the world of Minecraft from an inside perspective. It's not telling a story about the world of Minecraft. It's telling a story that just happens to be set inside the world of Minecraft.

[@nerdjournal]

To me, this feels like a movie made by someone who only ever built a Dirt House in Minecraft and logged off after their first death. A minecraft movie made from someone who never mined their first Diamond, and never journeyed to get their first elytra. That's why it feels like it is made for babies, because they thought it was just a game for kids, and didn't realize what makes the game so special is that it is actually for EVERYONE.

They can come up with ideas and write scripts, but you only need to look at the cinemas to see what directors and executives want to be made. That is to say, writers only play a small part in the production of a movie. Also, writers hate AI the same way visual artists do. It's why they went on strike in Hollywood last year. They know that from the perspective of a company forever trying to make more money, if they can get a program that spits out ideas and writes scripts, then they might as well cut out all these unnecessary workers and fire them.

"There's no official lore in Minecraft" Meanwhile Mojang always uses the piglins as the villains instead of the ender dragon, the wither and the warden (from Minecraft the base game piglins don't feel like full on villains)

[@MouldMadeMind]

It's probably because they are a faction and not just some beast.

[@pokerusfreak8194]

its such a missed opportunity to give more life and lore to the Endermen. Minecraft doesnt have much official lore on PURPOSE, but since the "end" of the game is beating the Ender Dragon, my interpretation has always been: Endermen are enslaved by the dragon. They had a civ, but it dies out due to the corruption brought about by the dragon. The currently existing Endermen are what remains. The reason the Nether is destroyed is because Endermen can teleport, and are dimension hoppers. The Ender Dragon takes advantage of this, sending his minions to other dimensions to wreak havoc and bring back spoils. The Piglin were the second civilization spoiled by the Dragon for his gain. Endermen are now in the overworld. They appear everywhere, and have begun to dismantle things (they pick up blocks, even your buildings). Villagers and even Illagers are helpless against them (villagers cant attack, and illagers use mostly crossbow, with only a few using axes or magic). With no true defense against these beings, and the evil intention of the Ender Dragon... those two voices bring the player into existence. They are Gods? They are You? They are the Dev, and the Player, and the Universe. They are the Overworld protecting itself. And so they gently nudge you, the Player, towards a goal. No directions are given, but there are clues. It leads you to a ruined dimension, looted and broken, filled with lava and hints of a destroyed civilization thats become hostile and greedy. And in the End, it leads you directly to the Dragon. Relying on you to be the one that stops it. And so you do. But that's just my headcanon. Still, it would be amazing if they did something more in un-official lore with Endermen and the Ender Dragon, or the Warden, or the Wither. They're equally part of Minecraft lore and enemies, and could easily be their own factions. The piglins are overdone, even though theyre just as much a ruined civ as the Deep Dark is. Ancient City would make an AMAZING lore piece to explore: how things were BEFORE they became Ancient and destroyed by the Warden

[@Worm_appeljack]

@@pokerusfreak8194 wow

[@minestar2247]

There are also the illagers, these ones are definitely related to the greater ender dimension story. Also, the ender dragon and wither aren't villains, the wither is just the personification of death, and Jean is just the last survivor of the ender dragons

When the trailer starts there is a disembodied voice which says "Right this way" with a kind of squid ward sounding voice, which makes me feel like there is going to be villagers in this movie, which I am honestly terrified to see how lifelike they make villagers look. Another thing I haven't really seen other people talk about is the fact that there are so many things in this movie that just don't exist in Minecraft, and some look like major plot elements. For example, that blue tesseract looking cube the kid in the red hoodie and later on Jason is holding looks like it must be a major plot element otherwise why would they be clearly holding onto it in two separate shots/scenes of the trailer.

A few oddities I found in this trailer: 1: the characters are a lot taller than two blocks. In the game, the player is just under two blocks tall. A block is the equivalent of 1 meter in hight, so these characters are depicted to be around 3 meters tall, if not taller. 2: Piglins in the game live in the Nether dimension, and can't live in the Overworld because they will zombify. In Minecraft Legends, however, they are able to infiltrate the Overworld by creating a bubble around the Nether portal providing a Nether atmosphere or whatever so that they don't zombify. In the movie though, they're just flying around with no protection whatsoever. 3: if they wanted to have Minecraft enemies raid Steve's village, they could have literally gotten the Illagers to do it. You can activate raids in Minecraft so that waves of Illagers can raid a village. *But hey, that's just a Theory...*

The three main things VISUALLY that bother me: - The sheep in the movie has a 3D mouth when it doesn’t in the game, making it really jarring to look at. - The people look weirdly disproportionate to the world around them. This was going to happen anyway, but the wide shot has a tree? on the left that looks WAY too small compared to the humans. - The wide shot also shows a strange disconnect in the lighting. The people just look like they’ve been lit differently to the background, and it does NOT match up to the CG world around them. The shadows also do not help to blend them into the scene at all, what few shadows there actually are.

[@strider7198]

There are jungle trees that only have one wood block and a few leaves around it so they do exist, but obviously, theyre not in a jungle biome and those types of trees only exist in jungles so either theyre bushes or theyre purposely ignoring the game logic like almost every other videogame movie

This movie feels impersonal to the vibe of minecraft, which I feel is the main problem. It seems like a regular run-of-the-mill animated movie with an unoriginal plot, which could fit with other video game where the game is simplistic or has clear objectives (ex. sonic). Minecraft being an open world game about choosing your own destiny, I feel like a minecraft movie would ideally be solemn, personal, and poetic, a stark contrast to the comedy-geared mood expressed by the teaser. The short film showed would have been better inspiration.

[@Cats-TM]

The reason old Pixar and old Disney movies are good -kids- movies* is because they respected and cared about the audience and the craft. The moment in the trailer that really shows what I mean is the line "I am Steve…[Epic Sound Effect]" where it holds for a moment, which is to hope the audience will be all like "I clapped because I know [Minecraft]! I know what that is!" "AT-STs! AT-STs! AT-STs!". But when you watch something like WALL-E do you ever get the feeling you are being told how to feel? The opening 10 minutes are incredible because they set up WALL-E's character and motivation without saying a single word or having him do anything that feels unnatural, it just feels like he is going about his nightly routine. While, in the Minecraft movie, who would ever say "I am [Name]" like that? That is just not how people talk. While I am comparing one of the greats of film to a teaser that should be fine. You can generally tell based on the few lines and how the characters physically act what the movie will be like, it very clearly does not take itself seriously. This film is going to be bad, if it is not I will be quite surprised. *Also, I must say, just because something is a "kids" movie does not mean it is bad as some would say. Kids movies should not just be random garbage to keep the kids entertained, they should be good…that is literally all, they should just be good.

Wall-e is truly peak animated cinema. I feel like the only thing that truly compares is Spider-verse, but that's mostly because Spider-verse is ridiculously innovative. Wall-e is not that different from other Pixar films, it's truly just it's writing alone that makes it so good.

​@@HeyItsSlothI mean, GenAIs have been useable since at least 2017, they were just kinda crap. But these days a lot of CG is done in the post-production phase, so they definitely cound be using GenAI

In the defense of that specific shot, the bitrate isn’t great because of KZbin. But from what I can see, I don’t see the typical signs of AI generation (buildings and landscapes inexplicably merging together, inconsistencies, lack of cohesion). Now, do I think they cheaped out by making this movie basically all live action-CGI, which just so happens to be one part of the modern film industry that isn’t unionized? Yes, and I think CGI-artists should unionize. Can I guarantee that no AI was used in the creative process? No, I didn’t work on this film and I have no knowledge of what went on behind the scenes. But to call this AI generated detracts from the real people who had to spend hours of their lives modeling and rendering the blocky landscape, even if stylistically speaking it looks like absolute dog ass.

I’m not sure minecraft was actually ever supposed to be a movie in my opinion

[@schmingbeefin4473]

I mean, the movie has been in the works since 10 years ago, but clearly the direction has changed in a way that... it just doesn't work.

[@1eris.]

i swear story mode looks better then this shit​@@schmingbeefin4473

[@Jometar]

I mean There are incredible minecraft short movies and series on KZbin And they are great

[@jambott5520]

Neither was lego, unfortunately it seems that the Minecraft movie ain't going to be as good as the lego movie.

[@DaleTheBoulder]

You missed the point. Minecraft does not have a story, you make one yourself. That’s why so many SMPs have storylines. Why can’t a storyline be brought into the theaters?

[@D4_n3k]

I loved when Mine said it’s craftin’ time and then crafted all over the floor

[@pixeljinx255]

omg i just noticed the green screening is terrible, look at the edges. this is soul crushing to know this is what we'll be getting

[@pixeljinx255]

also, I feel like it's way too corporate. like Phoenix said, the main problem with it is that it feels lifeless

[@2intheampm512]

Green screen fringes is something that can be fixed really easily for the final movie. But yeah this ain't it

[@StuffandThings_]

@@pixeljinx255 Hey at least in that way it accurately portrays modern Minecraft

[@pixeljinx255]

@@StuffandThings_ true lol

[@lchi1234]

Yeah the green screen was probably because of the rough rendering they did for the trailer, hopefully the final movie will be better

[@chaos5888]

Nitpicking the screenshot at 8:00 - I feel like the humans feel out of place because of the weird lighting. It's fine at first, but when you look at the CGI background and see the beautiful yellow glow on the trees, on the flowers, even on the grass, and then look back at the people, they just look flat. Adding some yellow into their lighting would've made it feel more "correct" instead of flat. It just looks like they're in a warehouse in front of a green screen. It's especially noticeable on the kid with the red hoodie. He looks more blue compared to the golden surroundings.

[@Tsunamicat108]

and why do they have the tesseract???

[@rynnmedia]

@@Tsunamicat108the teaser isn’t the movie. That’s obviously going to be relevant to the actual movie’s plot; we don’t need it explained in the teaser.

[@clownRatcity]

Exactly Thankyou. They have not placed the actors into the environment well at all

[@pokerusfreak8194]

they fr look pasted onto the background in so many scenes. its awful

[@Halfendymion]

They should've done full-body scans of each of the actors and then stretched the textures over Minecraft player models

[@avaius]

Would fit the cursed style they seem to be going for

[@laurafrakinroslin]

Sounds horrifying. Probably would have looked way better tho

[@misterpotato427]

Haha

[@LugiDergX]

If you are talking about what I think you are then hell no. This has always been one of the worst things about movies, no matter old or new.

[@Halfendymion]

@@LugiDergX You say that like it's been done before

[@PenguBlueMC]

There's a few things I noticed that I don't think anyone else noticed. In the scene/clip where Steve appears and meets the 4 others, the sun is somehow on the back-right side of everyone which is impossible if they're talking face to face. Also, Jason sitting behind the lady in the blue clothing doesn't have a shadow on the log he's sitting on and he disappears from behind her when it zooms in on her. The other thing that I noticed was in the beginning of the trailer when they all leave the portal the sun is first shown to be coming in from the left side of the screen and is highlighting their left sides but immediately after that when it zooms in on their faces the sun is still showing on the left side of the screen (Which, should now be the right side of the screen if it was apart of the same scene) but is now highlighting their right side. So unless the two clips are completely unrelated, the sun suddenly switches places in the sky.

[@MaxCornerstonethecool]

AI methinks

[@ryanwillingham]

@@MaxCornerstonethecool imo those are definitely hallmarks of rushed cgi, not ai

[@Cats-TM]

@@MaxCornerstonethecool As the other commenter said, it is absolutely rushed CGI. The thing about CGI is it can be good if you have enough time but VFX artists are not getting enough time (Because the VFX industry is in a really really bad place right now...like most of Hollywood.).
