The first ten minutes could've been their own movie, but let's not focus too much on the plot. Even though a small army of writers was hired to come up with something, it's a generic blockbuster that does what every modern adaptation does. It's a dumpster of references built around a meager plot outline.
The Minecraft world is kinda fun, but as I've never played the game myself, most of the references didn't really hit (then again, they didn't save the Super Mario movie for me either). The actors are terrible and annoying, the soundtrack is an insult, the comedy is bland, but at least the pacing is decent, and the film was surprisingly short. Slim pickings, but it's something.
