A Minecraft Movie debuted last month, generating $301m worldwide on its first weekend. It has been such a success that there are already talks about a sequel, and director Jared Hess has teased where the film series could go next.
“Lovely performances elevate a movie that captures Minecraft’s many bits and pieces but not its creative spirit,” Christian Donlan wrote in Eurogamer’s A Minecraft Movie review.
In other Minecraft movie news, an unfinished version of the film with effects that actually look closer to the original Minecraft game leaked online following its cinema debut.
