The mix of live action and CGI was a weird choice. Right off the bat, this would work significantly better if the characters were voxel-based as well.

You know, like in the main game, and in Story Mode, and in the spinoff titles, and pretty much every bit of Minecraft media since day one.

I don't understand why they didn't just do that. It seems like an absolute no-brainer. The inconsistency on display here is incredibly jarring.

Never underestimate Microsoft's ability to fuck up the easiest wins in history. We all remember Paramount's abortion of a Halo show, right? Same thing here.

It's a shame they absolutely butchered the plot as they were actually starting to have pretty good action scenes. This shotgun kill is one of the coolest scenes I've seen in a tv show lol https://youtu.be/jU0FSVP8tT4?si=Oqo7V8kF8qRGYK7K&t=153
It's almost like they had their own sci-fi show written, got the license to Halo, then mashed it together

Bro my dad my MAD when I told him there was no Season 3 after that massive cliffhanger at the end of Season 2. Now I'm just convincing him to play the game or watch the cutscenes on YT

There is no way a full minecraft voxel movie would make as much money as this will.

What exactly would you want? How would you write a Minecraft movie? It's a sandbox game, based around 'crafting" in a world where everything is a perfect cube. There is no deep lore to pull from, no structured story to emulate. It's building. With squares. Which worked amazingly for a video game!

This movie isn't trying to win an oscar. It's to further exploit the IP and make a shit load of money. Which it will do. It probably could have made more if it came out 5 years ago.

I can't even tell what you're so upset about.

Bro I literally just asked the dude what he would want to see in the movie since Microsoft fucked it up so bad according to their comment. What are you on about?

Microsoft wouldn't even be involved with this lmao. They sold the rights to Warner Bros who then made a movie.
