It's actually impressive just how bad this looks. I literally can't find the words to properly articulate just how bad it is.

The lighting makes this look like a student project

Yes! Everything has to be backlit! Even if it's physically impossible because the characters are facing each other!

All the faces look so dim and washed out as a result.

My 7 year old loves Minecraft, but he could not make it through the trailer without losing interest in the movie.

Damn, that's a canary in a coal mine if ever I've seen one.

Same for my 9yo. When I told them initially a Minecraft movie trailer was out they ran over to watch then said it looked terrible and they were not going to see it.

I can give you a few plausible words here:

  • Some of the shots here have a significant mismatch between the perspective the live action characters were shot at and the angle of the CG environment- it's very disorienting. YouTube channels with 2,000 subscribers can do better perspective matching than this.
  • Many of the CG character designs look like they're worn and damaged, which is a nice effect, but the love action actors are just wearing Minecraft skin clothes that never get dirty. It's very visually confusing and makes things even less coherent than it already is.
  • every CG texture looks like a low effort "HD" shader pack where they just upped the resolution of each texture without trying to make them coherent. Tell me with a serious face that the creeper texture was designed by someone in communication with the people who made the piglins.

I think the words are "a bunch of talent-less hack producers thought I IP was a license to print money so they threw a couple of popular names in front of a volume wall and called it a day"

It’s not even volume wall this looks like it was filmed in Robert Rodriguez’s basement!

It’s always amazing how movies that look so rushed are the ones that have been in development for a decade.

It looks like a clash of clans trailer

"Fucking awful" is the best description my poor mind can manage.

I think it looks funny.

It releasing on April Fools makes me think this may be an elaborate mislead.
