Does Minecraft Actually Work as a Movie?

Carlos Alvarado Season 1 Episode 1

This week on Carlos @ the Movies, we’re asking the question no one thought they’d need to: Does Minecraft actually work as a movie or is it just a bunch of blocks pretending to be cinema?

I’ll break down the vibe, what the trailer made us expect, and whether the movie delivered anything more than pixelated chaos. We’ll cover what worked, what didn’t, favorite moments, weird choices, and a few things that made me wonder who greenlit this movie and whether they deserve a raise.

We’ve also got a spoiler zone, a rapid-fire round of the best and worst moments, and I’ll wrap it up with a final watch score and my official verdict. Should you watch it, skip it, or leave it in creative mode?
