YES, I've been thinking that they should make a lonely, somber, even semi horror action movie. where its just Steve and a dog or Steve and Alex. surviving the harsh world where no night is safe. can see a villager village that's empty of inhabitants (personally a dog being there always makes it feel more lonely to me in a way, cuz they tend to wander and there's the worry that one day they may just not come back) could end the movie on a note of uncertainty as he enters the final portal near the ender dragon. there's A LOT of things that could be done. and I'm disappointed that all we get is a somehow even lesss serious jumanji film, from THE MOST popular game in the world. i will never cease to be amazed about how uncaringly companies will hurl a few hundred million dollars at something no one wants
i completely agree. the shot with the mushroom cow and dead iron golem with a seemingly endless background, combined with no other humans in sight, really gives that same emptiness and almost horror vibe that the game gives.
The ending scene just showing steve looking back at the camera before it cuts. Is no joke, 1 million times better than the official Minecraft movies "I, Am Steve!"
Even without the pixelated or cubic art style, this concept seems a lot more interesting compared to the official movie trailer. If shown both trailers, I would easily want to see this movie far more.
That's because this is actually committing to its art direction, while the Minecraft movie doesn't even know if it wants to be realistic or made of cubes, resulting in a very inconsistent, strange and uncanny valley look (having real people in a CGI world doesn't help either)
showed this to my brother and he actually made a very good point, unlike the real movie trailer this one accurately captures how just aimlessly wandering the world at the beginning feels
And the sense of lonesomeness, surrounded by creatures that are so different from you. The real minecraft movie has so many human characters. Not that it isn’t relevant bc Minecraft has multiplayer, but idk something about a sole character exploring a peculiar world is more fascinating to me. But I guess it’s more of a gimmicky movie to appeal only to kids and to sell more merch 🤷♀️ sucks cuz if they really put effort in they could’ve made something really cool and enjoyable for all aged Minecraft fans :/
It looks more like walking grass. See the thin, straight strands of grass on it? If it were a walking bush, it would have had round-shaped leaves on it, like the leaves in the background.
Dude this looks like a high quality 80’s movie. And I mean that in a good way. The graphics have that old cheesy that just feels nostalgic and I love it
The fact that just adding actual Minecraft music makes this 100x better speak volumes for me No dialogue, no spoilers, just dark atmosphere and a single facial in the end… and it somehow it PERFECTL conveys the dark atmosphere of Minecraft when you first start playing
Idk why people don't understand that "a Minecraft movie" and "the Minecraft movie" has different meanings, sure we don't want the first one but it's not that bad if u think about it
Yeah, a man thing that is clearly not from this world yet moves through it as though it owns it. Taking bits and pieces as it pleases ruthlessly mauling your pc for daring to look it in the eyes.
I think it's the fact that it's so large, yet dead silent in it's movements. Your expecting it to scream or teleport, but it doesn't, it just keeps walking.
Yeah the nostalgia for this would be absolutely insane, because it would invoke Minecraft nostalgia for the newer generations but invoke fantasy movie nostalgia for the older generations. I wish we got this instead of the actual movie 😭
I totally agree. I reckon if you are going to make something involving minecraft, you should lean into the message of the game, which was told in the "End Credits." Minecraft is about not giving up when facing the challenges the universe poses, believing you are loved, and keep dreaming that things will get better. And that there is no such thing as an "End," only another beginning. That's at least what I interpret, I'm glad I could just dump lol.
I'm in LOVE with the old-school effects, like puppet skeletons and painting-esque vistas! THIS is what A Minecraft Movie should've been like, if it wanted to go live-action.
What you've really captured is the feeling of isolation and atmosphere when you first play the game. Minecraft genuinely frightened me when it came out. I was in high school, and played the shit out of Dead Space and other horror games. But somehow I could never work up the nerve to play Minecraft in survival for long
Dude, the night and cave were the scariest part of Minecraft. Disturbing cave sounds and the bed actually did not save your spawn point. Times were haard!!!
I remember when I first played minecraft at around 7 years old, I was so terrified of everything in the game that even when I was safe in creative mode, I made a giant pillar up and built onto a platform, and I never moved away from that platform unless I wanted to go commit some arson. I was genuinely terrified of the mobs in that first time playing the game.
This trailer shows how scary it really is in the world of minecraft. To us, as players, it seems "ahah, funny, cubes", and at this time Steve was left completely alone, in an unfamiliar world filled with monsters, horrors, and he will have to travel to hell and to the end to overcome the greatest evil - the ender dragon. And this is the view of the world of Minecraft that I would really like to see PS: C419's music is very suitable for the atmosphere of the movie
This gives me such a sense of comfort and I feel like this would be my favorite movie of all time, genuinely thank you for making this, I can’t stop watching
I really love that even though the art style doesn't resemble the blocky world of minecraft, this trailer just feels like minecraft. When you play, you forget about the art style and just get lost in this big adventure. It captures the melancholy feeling and the feeling of loneliness you feel throughout a single player world very well. Everything here is perfect.
Likely a Jason and the Argonauts reference. That movie had stop-motion skeletons and other monsters animated as such. But it could just be inspired by that era of movies where stop-motion was used because CGI was impossible.
@@toasty7553 yeah, it reminded me of the stop motion exoskeleton at the end of the first Terminator. Or like the stop motion Godzilla and others in different monster movies, so like you said, like when they had to use stop motion before there was CGI
Fr man, and it’s not even a recognizable actor. That’s just Steve, a man we don’t know much about but have spent time with since we were young. Big Hollywood could never reproduce this.
At minute 0:25, when he's going along the rails and the book opens up floating, that's the feeling of Minecraft-something mysterious and magical. Forget the friendly environment and atmosphere that was shown in the trailer; I want this.
Mojang wanted a comedy movie as it fits Minecraft’s style best but they couldn’t have an animated movie as it doesn’t fit comedy as it usually feels lifeless if you mix blocky animated and comedy in one do live action comedy it was but how they were gonna do it? Hire the most random cast and make it work jack black does fit his role well in the movie and Jason mamoa is just there
@@CtRAlTtAbso then make it animated if you’re ride or die for the blocky aesthetic. This half realistic and half cube choice makes everything look like Ai schlock. If you’re going to make live action Minecraft accept you have to try to make a live action creature design

There are definite ways to skirt around copyright and IP. You can’t trade mark blue shirt guy surviving in the wilderness fighting undead, building a house, and going through literal hell to kill a dragon. What Mojang is missing is the spirit of Minecraft; you can’t put a trade mark on that.
@@quindonthebunny3146 Bro, till it's such real life version like in this trailer, Mojang cannot trademark. The creator just cannot use Mojang exclusive assets and names.
Easily could've won cinematography of the year, would give people hope in not only the directors but also just adaptations in general, still respects the game but also is live action. Literally could've been perfect
I think we should not let this cinematographic style die. Now, there are few films that manage to be a work of audiovisual art, the vast majority are nothing more than content. That's not a bad thing in itself, but you realize that there's something fascinating about movies that break that regime that's working right now. People have to understand that Minecraft, yes or yes, needs a Dark Fantasy movie with realistic, but well thought-out artistic concepts.
absolutely!! I've been saying that for years now. Everything is so polished and lazy just to get a quick buck out of it. No character, no journey in it, just a mindless back and forth of nothing burger characters, which is why I dislike the DP&W movie even though I loved the character previously. It's also why I loved The Batman movie. It has character, style and meaning from the single item placed to every film grain. That is the bare minimum how movies should look. Or like this video. There are exceptions to the squeeky clean aesthetic, like longlegs.That one is still great, but would like the camera, the visuals of the lenses to be more era apropriate, not 2024 clean
This reminds me of the first time I played minecraft, I was scared of everything and would not leave my dirt hut even in the day, just because I saw a creeper outside.
The idea of a like classic 80s horror film with stop motion creatures, but with modern horror ideals and based on a modern game is, delectable. It feels more like a minecraft version 1.6 movie, which i enjoy. A very different vibe back then
That feeling of emptiness, of being here all alone. Of this world being truly desolate, that’s what Minecraft feels like, it isn’t a fun, silly group comedy movie. It’s isolated, it’s creepy, it’s weird, and this trailer does that entire concept PERFECTLY. The shots of the enderman and the creeper, or the guy going through the forest alone, i felt it most there. It’s so good. If a movie like this got made and the character just didn’t speak at all throughout, that. That would be Minecraft
I've always loved the concept of Minecraft as a thriller/horror fantasy. I feel a lot of people forget how scary Minecraft is when you're new- especially as a kid experiencing it for the first time- and a movie that encapsulated that through someone living in a very real Minecraft world would be beautiful. The fear also powers the undying curiosity and wonder of the unknown in such a strange, lonely place, which is what I feel Minecraft should be depicted as. Minecraft has always been for me a story of survival and discovery.
If they made a minecraft movie with a dark fantasy setting, about a man in a strange world, exploring old ruins, and lost cities, while being stalked and hunted by the horrors of the night or deep abyss, it would have been a massive hit
I just want the source material to be taken seriously. Im tired of this corny gay/lame millennial humour being forced into soy-slop bruh. Like marvel humour at first was funny, but then it got tiring asf. I dont want to see loki, the god of chaos, get bitch slapped by some goofy ahh character. Like I want a serious movie bruh. I want to actually feel something other than laughter.
It does sound great, but I doubt that it would be a success. Cinema hast changed and most people would rather watch a shitty comedy then something awesome like this
This is what i always dreamed of when i was little. The older textures were simple yes but i always felt like there was an almost hidden retro gritty yet mystical "reality" to them. Like if you upscaled them you would end up in a dark and mysterious world where you are all alone trying to survive its grotesque creatures. The old cobblestone and netherrack for example come to mind. Also the paintings really fed this idea back then to me that Minecraft was this weird lonely world Steve had to endure.
this actually understands what the game is. this captures how it feels. Even though it doesn't look like minecraft at a glance anyone who has played it would recognize it.
This is basically how I usually visualize Minecraft if I lived within my own Minecraft-world, not that I don't appreciate the important blocky aspect needed especially for mining and crafting but from the perspective that on one hand it can be played like a Dungeon crawler rpg this dark fantasy fits pretty well.
This is exactly the ambience a Minecraft movie needs, something mysterious yet nostalgic, with a lot more emphasis on the strange of the Minecraft world. I really need to see you make a full movie out of this.
this is exactly what i would want out of a Minecraft movie. The choppy old school look of films like Jason and The Argonauts lends itself so perfectly to a game with choppy old school graphics where you make everything out of blocks and you have to use so much of your imagination to fill in the blanks
TBH, I feel like this fan trailer get's close to what I think the original feeling of minecraft back in the day was, a dark world filled with monsters the player have to brave against. Though to be fair on Mojang kind of, I feel like there current direction, while different, is as valid (ie I think modern minecraft is more centered around navigating a diverse world where you can create what you want with others in the community). But then I feel genuinely, what we've seen and heard about the actual minecraft movie, is that it fails to properly use either of those directions minecraft can be, and it's a by the numbers movie.
This is exactly the out of left field direction the team for the movie should’ve taken. An introspective dark adventure with a nostalgic feel. Love the skeletons being stop motion, very Jason and the Argonauts!
This is what the Minecraft movie should’ve been more like. The contrast between this trailer and the official one perfectly demonstrates how creatively bankrupt the movie industry has become
Consequence of nepo-hiring your family members and people who dickride your ideology. The movie industry is hopelessly oversaturated, to the point the only people who get hired, are often times the well connected. What ends up happening is movies get directed by generic morons who direct it begrudgingly, or try to make their own movie out of the material. Doesnt help that movies are very expensive, so only the well connected rather than the talented get a chance at producing good stuff.
This gave me chills, man. Multiple times. Particularly the enchanting table scene, but right at the end too... and honestly, this whole thing is just so great. My original hope for the Minecraft movie was to just have it be animated, but this almost has me changing my mind. It just captures the vibe so perfectly. Bravo.
Honestly, I avoided this video at first because I quickly assumed it was another AI generated dark fantasy video, like all the other ones that used to fill up my page. But THIS is SO much better! I absolutely LOVE the old-school way of using stop motion for monsters instead of CGI! Amazing work!
While animation would be the objectively smarter option, the truth is, this is exactly what I as an individual would've wanted the Minecraft movie to be. Thank you.
Not only this artistic vision feels more like the game but the construction of the trailer does. This trailer is more peaceful and showcases the world, yet still giving this sense of loneliness that Minecraft always had. Also, you can feel the adventure going on. You don't get a lot of information except quick glimpses of locations, monsters and wierd stuff so you actually wonder what is it all about. You use your imagination, which is what Minecraft is all about. The choice of music tops it all. This is what I expected from the actual movie trailer, thank you.
Even though it's not blocky, it still hits the criteria of what is Minecraft. It looks nothing like the game and yet it is one of the most Minecrafty looking videos. It doesn't need to be 1-1 accurate looking to the blocky world, what really let us know that this is the Minecraft world is something a bit more important, the tone and theme. That's where the Minecraft movie really went wrong, because even if they could make the animation look good, it still wouldn't feel like Minecraft. And that's because the Minecraft move has Jumaji's theme, not Minecraft's theme, not Minecraft's soul. This video may not share the same shape of Minecraft, but it shares the same heart, flesh, blood, and soul of Minecraft
Gor me, this truelly incapsulates what minecraft felt like to me as a kid. A fun world with endless possibility and choices, with monsters lurking about in the dark.
I really love how all the graphics have this 80s style to them. Not because I grew up in that era and am nostalgic, but because it really does fit the uncanny vibes a movie like this needs.
This is fucking beautiful , the atmosphere captures a essence of a eerie lonely world . This exactly feels like the feeling of playing in minecraft for the first time alone . This masterpiece should not deserve to be the original minecraft trailer it *SHOULD* be the minecraft trailer .
Im glad I’m not alone in thinking a real Minecraft movie would be a horror flick. A dude is stranded in a vast unexplored world with horrible creatures at every turn,
This video describes Minecraft perfectly, it's hard to put into words but it encapsulates the vibe of Minecraft 2009-2024 (all of it!) perfectly, make it a whole movie Mojang!
I love the usage of classic movie tricks to create some of these scenes, especially the one for the nether. Idk how much of this was AI-assisted but I love the nether painting. I would actually pay to see a minecraft movie like this.
The style is amazing, with the cryptic, aimless and weird nature of Minecraft merged with an 80s dark fantasy movie's production. I love it. It's not just dark fantasy, it's weird in its own ways with the quirks of Minecraft. Loved the creeper and enderman.
I absolutely LOVE the design of the Enderman. It's lanky and shadowy and looks like it's roaming the land searching for something it may never find, alone.
This gave me the same feeling I had the first time I played Minecraft so many years ago. That feeling of everything being so strange yet fascinating! The feeling of being alone in a strange world with weird monsters and an uncanny emptiness that was left to you to fill. Absolutely phenomenal job on this and I would absolutely watch this if it were a real movie!!!
This is so beautiful. The movie trailer with jack black was so disrespectful to the former generations and to see something like this is nice. Its really really nice.
If you guys decided to make an entire film out of this setting, make Minecraft as deadly, fun, adventurous as it is, I’m pretty sure it would be a world wide hit and everyone would even fund this project if needed.
This captures the fact that you feel alone in Minecraft that sometimes those cave noises get to you. While playing Minecraft you never hear anyone talk and that’s a big part of the atmosphere
I never really noticed it but the actual minecraft soundtrack does sound very retro which would fit a dark style older looking fantasy film.
Legend theatrical release had tangerine dream soundtrack, right?
C418 are legend!
спасибо C418
Its lonely. Feels exactly like playing in a singleplayer world. A perfect adaptation
Such a great way description
YES, I've been thinking that they should make a lonely, somber, even semi horror action movie. where its just Steve and a dog or Steve and Alex. surviving the harsh world where no night is safe. can see a villager village that's empty of inhabitants (personally a dog being there always makes it feel more lonely to me in a way, cuz they tend to wander and there's the worry that one day they may just not come back) could end the movie on a note of uncertainty as he enters the final portal near the ender dragon. there's A LOT of things that could be done. and I'm disappointed that all we get is a somehow even lesss serious jumanji film, from THE MOST popular game in the world. i will never cease to be amazed about how uncaringly companies will hurl a few hundred million dollars at something no one wants

This is what I was just thinking about. That lonely feeling
The paranoia of being alone in such a big world created the legend of Herobrine...
Instead we see humans meet Steve the savior and likely are immediately given all the tools they need without struggle.
The creeper being a walking bush is such a good idea. Explains how it’d be able to sneak up on people easily
Notch confirmed that the Creeper is made of something like leaves and is supposed to look like plant-like
And the fact that texture for Creeper actually is leaf texture
I also love the idea that creepers exploding is a way of dispersing their spores to make new creepers.

No character, no journey in it, just a mindless back and forth of nothing burger characters, which is why I dislike the DP&W movie even though I loved the character previously. It's also why I loved The Batman movie. It has character, style and meaning from the single item placed to every film grain. That is the bare minimum how movies should look. Or like this video. There are exceptions to the squeeky clean aesthetic, like longlegs.That one is still great, but would like the camera, the visuals of the lenses to be more era apropriate, not 2024 clean
watch Mad God
I would DIE to see a full length film like this. You've PERFECTLY captured the atmosphere of Minecraft... especially in the early days.
Fr I would sacrifice everything
Damn even the torch he's holding doesn't light up blocks. True attention to detail here.
This is what the Minecraft movie should have been
Especially if they want to make a live action, the vibe of this captures such a cool perspective.
nope
This reminds me of the first time I played minecraft, I was scared of everything and would not leave my dirt hut even in the day, just because I saw a creeper outside.
this is exactly what i imagined when i first played
This is so cool, I can't believe how fast you were able to get this out. Seriously talented! I wish this were the movie we were getting.
Watching ur stream rn
Fr
not first
Warner bros could never
hi
The idea of a like classic 80s horror film with stop motion creatures, but with modern horror ideals and based on a modern game is, delectable.
It feels more like a minecraft version 1.6 movie, which i enjoy. A very different vibe back then
Would you mind expanding on what modern horror ideals are, in contrast to other types of horror ideals?
That feeling of emptiness, of being here all alone. Of this world being truly desolate, that’s what Minecraft feels like, it isn’t a fun, silly group comedy movie. It’s isolated, it’s creepy, it’s weird, and this trailer does that entire concept PERFECTLY. The shots of the enderman and the creeper, or the guy going through the forest alone, i felt it most there. It’s so good. If a movie like this got made and the character just didn’t speak at all throughout, that. That would be Minecraft
i love the shot of the dead iron golem. it makes the world feel like it has so much history
I've always loved the concept of Minecraft as a thriller/horror fantasy. I feel a lot of people forget how scary Minecraft is when you're new- especially as a kid experiencing it for the first time- and a movie that encapsulated that through someone living in a very real Minecraft world would be beautiful. The fear also powers the undying curiosity and wonder of the unknown in such a strange, lonely place, which is what I feel Minecraft should be depicted as. Minecraft has always been for me a story of survival and discovery.
If they made a minecraft movie with a dark fantasy setting, about a man in a strange world, exploring old ruins, and lost cities, while being stalked and hunted by the horrors of the night or deep abyss, it would have been a massive hit
I just want the source material to be taken seriously.
Im tired of this corny gay/lame millennial humour being forced into soy-slop bruh.
Like marvel humour at first was funny, but then it got tiring asf. I dont want to see loki, the god of chaos, get bitch slapped by some goofy ahh character.
Like I want a serious movie bruh. I want to actually feel something other than laughter.
@@honkhonk8009 Couldn't agree more with you :(
It does sound great, but I doubt that it would be a success. Cinema hast changed and most people would rather watch a shitty comedy then something awesome like this
This is what i always dreamed of when i was little.
The older textures were simple yes but i always felt like there was an almost hidden retro gritty yet mystical "reality" to them. Like if you upscaled them you would end up in a dark and mysterious world where you are all alone trying to survive its grotesque creatures.
The old cobblestone and netherrack for example come to mind. Also the paintings really fed this idea back then to me that Minecraft was this weird lonely world Steve had to endure.
this actually understands what the game is. this captures how it feels. Even though it doesn't look like minecraft at a glance anyone who has played it would recognize it.
I'd pay so much money to see a full length feature film of this style.
This is basically how I usually visualize Minecraft if I lived within my own Minecraft-world, not that I don't appreciate the important blocky aspect needed especially for mining and crafting but from the perspective that on one hand it can be played like a Dungeon crawler rpg this dark fantasy fits pretty well.
I unironically would love to see this.
Right now I have in mind a cross between Neverending Story and Sinbad.
It's absolutely stunning. This is the real Minecraft. Guys, at this point, we need to start a fundraiser to make this movie happen !!
i'm down!
See how much better this looks when it's not AI generated?!?
This is exactly the ambience a Minecraft movie needs, something mysterious yet nostalgic, with a lot more emphasis on the strange of the Minecraft world. I really need to see you make a full movie out of this.
this is exactly what i would want out of a Minecraft movie. The choppy old school look of films like Jason and The Argonauts lends itself so perfectly to a game with choppy old school graphics where you make everything out of blocks and you have to use so much of your imagination to fill in the blanks
jason and the argonauts style skeletons are really cool
TBH, I feel like this fan trailer get's close to what I think the original feeling of minecraft back in the day was, a dark world filled with monsters the player have to brave against. Though to be fair on Mojang kind of, I feel like there current direction, while different, is as valid (ie I think modern minecraft is more centered around navigating a diverse world where you can create what you want with others in the community). But then I feel genuinely, what we've seen and heard about the actual minecraft movie, is that it fails to properly use either of those directions minecraft can be, and it's a by the numbers movie.
I'm pretty sure this original feeling is what most minecraft fans would've wanted from a minecraft movie.
Выглядит как фильм из 80-х с современными спецэффектами. Мне нравится
Seriously Mojang, what did it cost you? This is the best movie trailer I've ever seen!
This is exactly the out of left field direction the team for the movie should’ve taken. An introspective dark adventure with a nostalgic feel. Love the skeletons being stop motion, very Jason and the Argonauts!
This is what the Minecraft movie should’ve been more like. The contrast between this trailer and the official one perfectly demonstrates how creatively bankrupt the movie industry has become
Consequence of nepo-hiring your family members and people who dickride your ideology.
The movie industry is hopelessly oversaturated, to the point the only people who get hired, are often times the well connected.
What ends up happening is movies get directed by generic morons who direct it begrudgingly, or try to make their own movie out of the material.
Doesnt help that movies are very expensive, so only the well connected rather than the talented get a chance at producing good stuff.
The shot at 0:22 has such a eerie, almost liminal vibe to it, and I would gladly watch a movie with those kinds of stylized visuals
Fr, the lighting, the village behind, the cow, the old golem in the rocks, it's such a good composition. I wish the Minecraft movie was like this
This gave me chills, man. Multiple times. Particularly the enchanting table scene, but right at the end too... and honestly, this whole thing is just so great. My original hope for the Minecraft movie was to just have it be animated, but this almost has me changing my mind. It just captures the vibe so perfectly.
Bravo.
Honestly, I avoided this video at first because I quickly assumed it was another AI generated dark fantasy video, like all the other ones that used to fill up my page. But THIS is SO much better! I absolutely LOVE the old-school way of using stop motion for monsters instead of CGI! Amazing work!
While animation would be the objectively smarter option, the truth is, this is exactly what I as an individual would've wanted the Minecraft movie to be. Thank you.
Not only this artistic vision feels more like the game but the construction of the trailer does. This trailer is more peaceful and showcases the world, yet still giving this sense of loneliness that Minecraft always had. Also, you can feel the adventure going on. You don't get a lot of information except quick glimpses of locations, monsters and wierd stuff so you actually wonder what is it all about. You use your imagination, which is what Minecraft is all about. The choice of music tops it all. This is what I expected from the actual movie trailer, thank you.
Even though it's not blocky, it still hits the criteria of what is Minecraft. It looks nothing like the game and yet it is one of the most Minecrafty looking videos. It doesn't need to be 1-1 accurate looking to the blocky world, what really let us know that this is the Minecraft world is something a bit more important, the tone and theme. That's where the Minecraft movie really went wrong, because even if they could make the animation look good, it still wouldn't feel like Minecraft. And that's because the Minecraft move has Jumaji's theme, not Minecraft's theme, not Minecraft's soul. This video may not share the same shape of Minecraft, but it shares the same heart, flesh, blood, and soul of Minecraft
0:36 that shot of an Enderman is simply mesmerizing, I would absolutely watch a movie with this vibe
Gor me, this truelly incapsulates what minecraft felt like to me as a kid.
A fun world with endless possibility and choices, with monsters lurking about in the dark.
The shot of steve looking back and then the title popping up literally gave me goosebumbs
I loved the bushy Creeper detail. In older versions, the original Creeper texture was actually from the Leaves block texture, and still is.
I love that, especially after seeing the teaser, so many artist went, “Fine. We’ll do it ourselves.” and made things like _this_
YES! THIS IS WHAT WE WANT.
Either fully realistic or Minecraft styled animation.
I really love how all the graphics have this 80s style to them. Not because I grew up in that era and am nostalgic, but because it really does fit the uncanny vibes a movie like this needs.
geniuses! giving it the old-style Claymation special "CGI" is an odd but incredible twist.
This is fucking beautiful , the atmosphere captures a essence of a eerie lonely world . This exactly feels like the feeling of playing in minecraft for the first time alone . This masterpiece should not deserve to be the original minecraft trailer it *SHOULD* be the minecraft trailer .
The contrast between the horror/liminal clips with the goofy mobs REALLY creates an interesting and unique atmosphere.
I REALLY REALLY love this.
The nether portal burning in purple flames is such a good depiction
Im glad I’m not alone in thinking a real Minecraft movie would be a horror flick. A dude is stranded in a vast unexplored world with horrible creatures at every turn,
This video describes Minecraft perfectly, it's hard to put into words but it encapsulates the vibe of Minecraft 2009-2024 (all of it!) perfectly, make it a whole movie Mojang!
I love the usage of classic movie tricks to create some of these scenes, especially the one for the nether. Idk how much of this was AI-assisted but I love the nether painting. I would actually pay to see a minecraft movie like this.
unironically this is perfect
the dark fantasy style has something so... amazing in it, so weird, so perfect for minecraft
I absolutely ADORE the 80s fantasy film style.
The style is amazing, with the cryptic, aimless and weird nature of Minecraft merged with an 80s dark fantasy movie's production. I love it. It's not just dark fantasy, it's weird in its own ways with the quirks of Minecraft. Loved the creeper and enderman.
Best part zero AI generation here. This guy have great talent in filming and cgi. Awesome production.
I absolutely LOVE the design of the Enderman. It's lanky and shadowy and looks like it's roaming the land searching for something it may never find, alone.
This captures Minecraft so well with how liminal it all feels with the music, and the old style goes well with that feeling.
This gave me the same feeling I had the first time I played Minecraft so many years ago. That feeling of everything being so strange yet fascinating! The feeling of being alone in a strange world with weird monsters and an uncanny emptiness that was left to you to fill. Absolutely phenomenal job on this and I would absolutely watch this if it were a real movie!!!
This is so beautiful. The movie trailer with jack black was so disrespectful to the former generations and to see something like this is nice. Its really really nice.
I love the VHS stop motion style.
This is exactly what I imagined Minecraft as when I was a kid. Looks absolutely phenomenal.
that steve reveal gave me goosebumps, way more powerful than "i... am steve."
If you guys decided to make an entire film out of this setting, make Minecraft as deadly, fun, adventurous as it is, I’m pretty sure it would be a world wide hit and everyone would even fund this project if needed.
Microsoft would sue
This should be an amazing movie
So mix better than actual Minecraft movie trailer
This is way better at capturing the lonely/eerie atmosphere of singleplayer minecraft. The 80s dark fantasy theme fits that really well somehow.
I NEED MORE! PLEASE MAKE THIS AN ACTUAL SHORT FILM!!
Start a kickstarter if needed, I'll be the first supporter!
this
I like how the stopmotion makes this feel like a 70s/80s type of movie. I love it
This captures the fact that you feel alone in Minecraft that sometimes those cave noises get to you. While playing Minecraft you never hear anyone talk and that’s a big part of the atmosphere
This is so beautiful, I love the whole style of this, the lighting, the camera work, even the effects, it’s all amazing and I love this
