Why “Minecraft in Cinema” cash desk exceeded the expectations of critics and the film in the legendary game melted the hearts of the audience

Mine Minecraft in the cinema ”started in theaters on April 4, and film critics gave him more than humble estimates: a so -called good film, but it passed. However, for the first weekend, the film collected $ 157 million and was the first box office output in 2025. It is expected to be even higher next weekend. And this victory becomes the most prominent against the background of the boycott of Disney Snow White, defeated by critics and viewers before the premiere, and the producers seem to be trying to do everything to remove it from the scandals, and hurriedly closing the production of new adaptations of fairy tales.

Mitigating the classics of video games and film adaptation is a clear trend of the last decade. This can be understood: now it is easier to resort to nostalgia for proven arms – film studios, which cannot get rid of the postpandic crisis. And then the return of the cult indie game of Pesochnik, created by the Swess Marcus person known by Pseudony Notch, came to the return of the cult indie game. The success of the film was not open for several reasons. At least get a movie adaptation of the “Borkerlands” game that disappointed last year’s fans. Even with all the love for the original, Fanbaze can both leave the film under the water (we have seen it with the sample of snow white) and saves it from failure. And this time everything came out, but it can’t be said 100 percent.

Let’s start openly. The success of Minecraft is a great example of what we call “all the skillful simple”. There is an unforgettable game that looks like a Lego maker of the game. But the most important thing in it is not as visual as the motivation of the actor to create creativity in creating its own worlds. Because of this “fill”, not only for children. Moreover, the game is used to teach geography, chemistry, physics and biology children in schools in Sweden, India and USA. At first glance, there is no plan in Minecraft: player can produce resources, build from the cubes of the house, produce animals, but this is not all possibilities. In this world, if you have a very mysterious cran (the mythology of the game) and want to solve the secret of the place, the player can come across bad creatures living in parallel worlds as well as old ruins of civilization. Now imagine what a task is encountering content.

On the one hand, unlimited freedom of creativity and on the other hand, because the film works according to other rules, the Minecraft world is not to break down and to remain attractive on the screen. An understandable scenario for the audience is a scenario that is not familiar with the game. Unfortunately, Loro of the game had to make sacrifices. And this is the main claim of critics waiting to see “something more”. However, in my opinion, considering the timing of the film, the content creators accurately moved the story that they did not overload the story and make it accessible to everyone. However, numerous recognizable elements have been preserved and turned into some chips gags – a funny and rare pink sheep worship or Jason Momoa and Jack Black’s heroes do not really love the “human sandwich”. In some places, the film seems to be amateur, even the graphics in some places are very rough. Nevertheless, fans do not suffocate the film.

This is the type of film that works as a parody of the game. It was as if Minecraft seemed to have been removed from the sitcom of the “Great Explosion Theory” with the fan fiction of school children or heroes. Therefore, the madness on the screen is legalized. It is as if the Minecraft in the cinema knows that it is a meaningless film and that those who think differently are lacking of ion. This is basically, unlike the Snow White, who tried to give more importance to the audience than him, and had forgotten that it was just a fairy tale for children, not a political and social manifesto.

Many of them may seem like a banal plan of the land with hoods (heroes who are very popular in another world), but in this case the scenarios made the right solution, reduced the background of the characters and focused on the world of Minecraft. The hero of the Jack Black, Steve, discovers a mysterious work that opens the portal to a strange cubic world. There he becomes the master of the game and even starts a cubic pet. With the will of luck, four foreign portals enter the return journey and also reveal the secret of this place. However, this journey will help them understand themselves. The leading theme of history is that heroes get rid of the fear of expressing themselves. At one point, the losers not only realize that they can successfully realize not only in the Minecraft world, but also in the real world. And in a completely different way, the fate of Malgoshi is formed – the main antagonist, bad -linked leaders.

And if we’re used to the role of Jack Black, Jason Momoa looks at an organic in comedy, especially in a pink jacket. And it is impossible to ignore the acting game Jennifer Cuidge who makes the school principal. The line, including a meeting and a meeting with a meeting in the real alien mafia, appeared in an original, funny and strange way touching and romantic.

Mine Minecraft in Cinema ”is great for collective imaging in cinema, because the audience can always tie his own imagination and become the common author of jokes in the spirit of the game. It is interesting that director Jared Hess works as fear elements and makes them a nonsense. Despite the painting of children, Minecraft has the effect of “developing valley”, especially if you play for hours. Many mistakes, like the sudden traces of the presence of another player, may be really scared. The same applies to the “bad guys” of the film about Minecraft, in which Kegns, Zombies and Enderman contains. As a result, even on the edge of death, none of the heroes will die with a terrible death – and after a random decline, he will turn into a flight with his own reactive bag.
