Minecraft was released in 2009 and is a best-selling video game with over 300 million copies sold. The game is a survival game, open world, with no specific storyline. Users can create items, build structures, fight monsters, and make friends with animals in a 3D world. It is still a popular video game among children and adults around the world.

When adapted into a movie, the project directed by Jared Hess revolves around 4 characters: former gamer Garrett Garrison (played by Jason Momoa), beautiful girl Natalie (Emma Myers) whose younger brother Henry (Sebastian Hansen) is good at making machines and Dawn (Danielle Brooks) - a girl who works in real estate and animal care. They accidentally met each other and were led by a blue cube through a mysterious gate to the Minecraft world. When they arrived, they met miner Steve (Jack Black) who was good at fighting. All 5 worked together, fought monsters, evil witches and obstacles in this world to find a way to return home.

For those who have played Minecraft, the movie is a place for them to freely experience and reminisce about this video game. Because the graphics are very well done, opening up a colorful Minecraft world and everything is created from familiar but soft, cute square blocks, not rough like in the game. From cubes to creatures like Creeper, Enderman or unique architectural works, all are vividly recreated through 3D graphics. The soundtrack combines original Minecraft music and new compositions, creating many emotions for viewers. For those who have not played the game, the movie is still easy to understand and highly entertaining.

The famous cast works well together to create humor and fun for the film, especially the middle-aged actor duo Jack Black as the strong Steve and Jason Momoa as the big but clumsy and weak Garrett. The two teenage actors as sisters Natalie and Henry with their bright appearance and outstanding characters also make a good impression on the audience.

However, the film has a simple plot, familiar motif: a group of people on an adventure, fighting bad guys and finally winning gloriously. Apart from the fighting scenes, the film has no unexpected twists or tense battles of wits. Although it emphasizes team spirit and solidarity in fighting, the film lacks drama, depth and meaningful messages.

"A Minecraft movie" was not highly rated by experts but was loved by many audiences, especially young audiences. Its success in terms of revenue came from Warner Bros's methodical marketing strategy, combined with the attraction of the Minecraft gaming community. The film studio cooperated with 45 major brands such as McDonald's, Doritos, Oreo, Poppi Soda... to create related products, targeting children and families. In addition, the huge number of Minecraft fans was the source of revenue during the film's release.
