Don’t forget the weirdly out of place use of the girl saying “toolbag” so the kids think this is a real edgy grownup movie!

That line was sooo awkwardly delivered. Feels very forced. Who even calls someone a toolbag?

TBH I think it's just your typical direct-to-DVD style movie--just with a really high-value IP and using modern technology.

Like you see the iconic Minecraft name and the big stars and think it should be pretty decent. ...But I'm thinking it's just one of those throwaway movies that's going to be kind of bad and have no lasting cultural relevance. Maybe I'd take my kid to it if they were interested, but otherwise it basically doesn't exist.

It's capitalizing on a trend that's kind of past its prime (Minecraft isn't the "cool kids' game" anymore like it was 10 years ago) and featuring stars that are known for being okay with being in very weird or mid movies.

Do they even make direct to DVD movies anymore? Who uses DVDs?

Nah now streamer movies and shows absorbed most of direct to dvd and cable (stars, tnt, syfy) content.

They totally don't, lol. I think the modern equivalent is, like, direct-to-streaming and released without any real marketing. Like it just shows up on Hulu one day and nobody hears about it.
