Warner Bros’ Plans For The Minecraft Movie Baffles Fans As A YouTuber’s Animation Outshines It In Every Way

A Minecraft Movie is shaping up to be another potential disappointment for a video game to be adapted into a live-action film. The gaming community made it no secret that the teaser trailer is not something they were satisfied with and the finished product could be a massive trainwreck. The producers of Warner Bros issued a 150 million dollar budget, and while the visuals and aesthetics look impressive, it seems underwhelming, and fans are not excited.

The film had the advantage of a massive budget and production team but it was not enough to satisfy the fans. However, a YouTuber achieved something that Warner Bros. Pictures could not.

A YouTuber’s Fanmade Animation Short Is More Well-Received Than a Live-Action Minecraft Trailer

Despite having a stellar cast, A Minecraft Movie might end up tarnishing the careers of Jason Momoa and Jack Black. The gaming community is right to be skeptical about live-action adaptations since they cannot encapsulate whatever the original version achieved and the teaser trailer caused more harm than good.

Not everything can work in live-action and the teaser trailer seems like a parody of the source material. The initial reaction from the fans is something that should be taken into account, and it is evident that they prefer something else, like an animated project, instead of this big-budget monstrosity.

SAD-ist is a gifted animator, and their work would be better suited for an animated Minecraft project than what Warner Bros. Pictures, Legendary Pictures, and Mojang Studios offer. Black is no stranger to video game adaptations after his previous work in the Borderlands movie which also received a less-than-stellar reception.

While it is worth noting that a film cannot be judged simply by watching a trailer, there is a strong likelihood that the final product will be as bad if not worse. Hopefully, there is something to look forward to when the film is officially released next year.

The Minecraft Franchise Deserved Better Than the Live-Action Adaptation

While the premise of the film and the star-studded ensemble cast look impressive, the gaming community could not help but notice something off with the project. Unlike recent live-action adaptations like The Last of Us, Fallout, Uncharted, Twisted Metal, and more, this project might not be immune from the curse that has long plagued the genre.

The gaming community has low expectations for the film, allowing the filmmakers to subvert it. Perhaps this project could be worth looking forward to that will blow the audience away.

There is also a chance that this film will be another dumpster fire. Mojang Studios did something great with the games that a movie can’t recreate.
