A Minecraft Movie

Movie · 2025

Four real-world misfits get sucked into the blocky Overworld and must team up with master crafter Steve (Jack Black) to find their way home, battling zombies, skeletons, and a power-hungry Mage Queen along the way. It's loud, silly fun built around the game kids love, but it layers in adult-aimed jokes and some genuinely creepy creature moments that put it a step above typical young-kid fare.

Best for Minecraft fans aged 8 and up; sensitive children may want to wait until 9 or 10.
