As 2025 comes to a close and we think back on everything that has happened on the big screen, it is easy to forget the chaos that ensued when A Minecraft Movie was released this spring. What the block-tastic adaptation did to the cinematic experience is now a faint memory, but, at the time, it was an all-encompassing fad that really drove home how video game adaptations are taking over Hollywood in a big way.
Starring Jack Black as the game's player character, the movie follows a group of real-world characters who get pulled through a mysterious portal into a bizarre cubic wonderland known as the Overworld. With no way to get home and no chance of surviving the various monsters after them, Natalie (Emma Myers) and her little brother Henry (Sebastian Hansen), as well as their animal-loving real estate agent (Danielle Brooks) and a local failed businessman (Jason Momoa), are forced to rely on Black's eccentric Steve.
