Minecraft fans rejoice over new trailer starring Jack Black and Jason Momoa after poorly received teaser
As someone who grew up with Minecraft as a staple of my childhood gaming experiences, I must say, this new trailer for “A Minecraft Movie” has truly brought back some nostalgic feels! The opening narration by Jack Black had me chuckling and reminiscing about how I too used to yearn for the mines.
Enthusiasts of Minecraft were overjoyed on Tuesday when the movie adaption unveiled a fresh trailer, which managed to appease fans who had been disheartened by the first teaser trailer.
The first official trailer for A Minecraft Movie gives a more in-depth look at Jack Black and Jason Momoa, as well as a fleshed-out view of the world of the popular video game.
Fans on social media generally lauded the latest trailer more than the teaser, with some even speculating if the movie underwent a transformation similar to the first Sonic The Hedgehog film, which had to redesign its CGI character following a negative response to an initial trailer.
As a child, Steve dreamt of the coal mines, and as an adult, he stumbled upon a mystical realm where anything could be fabricated – all you needed were building blocks.
In the teaser, it’s shown that another set of individuals wind up in a Minecraft-like universe at a later time, with Garrett ‘The Garbage Man’ Garrison (Momoa), Dawn (Danielle Brooks), Henry (Sebastian Eugene Hansen) and Natalie (Emma Myers) being part of this group. Jennifer Coolidge is mentioned in the cast, but she doesn’t appear to be seen in the trailer.
The new trailer opens with Steve recounting his story, a comical tale in which he hoped to start working in the mines despite being just a child.
Once he’s an adult, Steve returns with his pickaxe, seemingly to dig around in an abandoned mine.
However, the excavation revealed a radiant blue block, and once correctly put together, it activated a gateway leading to a fantastical realm where everything is constructed from blocks.
It seems that Steve has been the lone individual who isn’t square-shaped, residing in a mystical land for quite a while, as suggested by his heavily grayed beard upon encountering four fresh arrivals.
In a colorful pink leather motorcycle jacket and sporting long, wavy hair, Garrett, who proudly claims the title ‘Gamer of the Year 1989,’ makes quite an entrance. However, we don’t get any insights into the backgrounds of the other three freshcomers in the story.
Following a quick overview of the mystical realm given by Steve, the group encounters aggression from fearsome pig-shaped beings, which we now call Piglins, along with bony zombie horde.
Steve ominously states, “There are malevolent entities seeking to annihilate our world,” as he introduces the Piglins.
As a passionate devotee, I eagerly escort novices through my creative sanctuary, showcasing every tool and weapon at their disposal for fending off those relentless marauders. Among the arsenal, there’s even some TNT to ensure our safety.
When Garret grabs a sparkling blue sphere, Steve tells him it’s an Ender Pearl, capable of teleporting someone to the location where it was last thrown.
Indeed not,” Garrett responds, showing a lack of interest, as he carelessly flings it away behind him, prompting Steve’s exclamation.
He’s instantly teleported, but just to where the pearl landed a few feet behind himself.
‘And that was the only one I had. No biggie,’ Steve says for a big punchline.
At the close of the trailer, darkness swiftly descends, revealing the team to an army of zombies, even ones armed with flaming arrows as undead archers.
Enthusiasts widely praised the latest trailer on social platforms, labeling it a substantial upgrade compared to its predecessor.
In the latest sneak peek, it seems that some digitally created animals from the initial preview have been swapped out for new ones. Among these replacements is an unusual-looking wolf which Steve offers a bone to.
The teaser received criticism regarding the layout of the Minecraft universe and the incongruity of the real-life characters, as they seemed awkward within it.
While there are certain sequences that appear in the extended trailer, it additionally showcases fresh scenes involving the real-life characters, which might appeal more to viewers.
“I didn’t expect it, but a Minecraft film seems quite promising. It appears they managed to improve their image like the Sonic movie did.” (written by a commenter on X, formerly known as Twitter)
Some enthusiasts found delight in the fresh vibe of the trailer, with one fan particularly amused by Jack Black’s humorous introduction.
The other user expressed their doubt about the Minecraft movie, but the opening line of the trailer, “As a child, I LONGED for the mines…”, almost made them laugh out loud. (lmao stands for laughing my ass off)
‘Looks better! This should have been the teaser!’ opined a fan.
‘I’m [not] gonna lie, this is the best glow up ever!’ added another satisfied viewer.
One fan thought ‘there would be far more excitement around this film’ if the trailer had only been the first thing released, rather than the teaser.
They commented, “The preview was really disappointing next to this,” and furthermore, “I believe some harm was inflicted, to a certain extent, anyway.
‘Yeah I don’t care I’m hype for the Minecraft movie,’ declared a fan.
Although the trailer appeared to be a step up from the teaser, not everyone’s response was overwhelmingly favorable.
One X user declared ‘looks like absolute s***,’ though it wasn’t clear if they were referring to the trailer or what they presumed the film would look like.
Another person derided the use of MGMT’s Time To Pretend on the trailer soundtrack.
In reaction to the melody, they penned down, “What year is it now?”, but some critics found it repetitive and excessive.
On April 2, 2025, the Minecraft movie is set for release in global cinemas, while North American audiences will get to watch it two days later on April 4, 2025.
