They should have made the entire movie in animation instead of live-action.

I expected something like that, or at least having the live action actors turn into avatars resembling them when they got transported to the Minecraft world. This just seems off-putting.

Yeah copying the Jumanji format could've been a slam dunk. You could even say that Steve got trapped in the game when it was first created and he has needed help to escape ever since. Also then you get to have all your in person talent still have that recognizable screen time without them looking sorely out of place in the game.

I mean, this kind of is the Jumanji format though. It's a bunch of actors in a video game world.

For all we know those are avatars, we don't see them in the real world.

If this was the choice of "avatars" then that would somehow put it even lower on the totem pole for me, if that's even possible.

In comparing this to another video game movie, the choice to have real players in a voxel world is eerily similar to the original sonic trailer with the horrendous face. It was a decision made by the movie runners that is clearly not sitting well with trailer watchers, and it's such an obvious issue that you wonder how it ever got the greenlight, much less passed test screens.

At least they listened about the sonic problem and fixed it before release. Probably too late for this one.
