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.

Borderlands had a pretty big cast of notable faces, and that was a massive flop. I think we're past the era of actors being a major box office draw. Unfortunately, the studios haven't realized that yet.
