The latest teaser for A Minecraft Movie has sparked a great deal of debate on the internet, since it appears to corroborate the largest error made in the video game adaptation. Video game movie adaptations used to be a dead giveaway for a critical failure, but thanks to the recent wave of excellent movies like Detective Pikachu and Sonic the Hedgehog, the curse has been lifted. A Minecraft Movie has one significant issue, which the trailer emphasizes, and appears to be emulating the style of earlier video game movies.

A Minecraft Movie’s first trailer has been released, with it finally showing off Jack Black’s Steve as well as a band of other human characters. Up until the trailer for A Minecraft Movie was released, many fans of the original video game were wondering what the movie’s art direction would look like. Minecraft is known for its signature blocky style, and ever since it was revealed that A Minecraft Movie would be live-action, it has been difficult to imagine how the movie would look. However, now that A Minecraft Movie’s visual style has been revealed, it hasn’t been received positively.
