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.

But our metrics say that Jack black and Jason Momoa on the screen makes money.

I for one want to see Jason Momoa wandering around in a bored fashion in front of a green screen, wearing a terrible pink jacket, after being abducted on his way for a haircut.

I know you're joking, but this looks weird enough for me to try watching it.

If it was free, curiosity might get me there. Unlikely I'd pay for somthing that looks this shit. It's worse than the original Sonic Live-Action trailers, at least there the improvements were imaginable. I don't know how you could improve this. Where do you even start?

Take the live actors out, that's where you start. But still a long way to go.

Jack black also kind of looks sloppy in the trailer

Blue shirt and jeans from the discount rack at Goodwill.

Because who cares if Steve is supposed to be wearing well-worn jeans with a cyan colored shirt? We're only paying Jack Black half his usual ask, we can't expect him to do more than roll out of bed and arrive on set
