Despite the irrefutable fact that nearly every parent is going to be dragged to see it by their hyperactive spawn, filling up Warner Bros' coffers until they overflow, A Minecraft Movie looks… not quite right. And not just because Jason Momoa looks like he's coming down from a week-long bender where he robbed Dora the Explorer.
Like, sure, it's obviously Minecraft. The trailer's got creepers, blocky critters and cubes everywhere—all the things you'd expect from the game. But it looks more like an expensive SNL skit (albeit not nearly as good as the Mario Kart one) rather than a tease for an official movie. It's largely just a lot of green screen and famous faces. Yeah, the same can be said for most blockbusters, but it just has the air of an unofficial adaptation, making nods to the source material without committing.
