The fact that some college kids managed to make a better live action Minecraft film with a small budget than a billion dollar film company really says something
Just did the math on about how old these two were when Mincecraft came out. It's one of my favorite games of all time, and I didn't even grow up with it.
Nah that sound like a no friend type of experience. Minecraft to me has always been full of loud chaos with people constantly talking, panicking, and getting hype over things. It's a fun game to experience with the homies. If your minecraft is a quiet experience with no one talking, i suggest try finding like a minecraft community server to make friends and play with. This comment weren't made to be rude btw. But i figure it might sound kinda rude.
Legit most realistic since for anyone whose worked with paintings before. Bro even sighed after Alex put the glass and door and he still couldn’t find a good painting
Frrr I noticed that too like the fact that she went and fully furnished the house and added windows before he was done with his one painting is so accurate
And I love him representing the desire that every Minecraft player shares: the sunrise painting, so beautiful, so perfect, leaving all the other paintings in the dust 💀
It made me laugh because I've done exactly that! Not that painting, not that painting, ew, yuck, wtf is that, not that painting, nope, nope, ohh damn I skipped it, nope, nope, yesss! I like that one!
I recently saw a video about Sincerity vs. Irony in modern Hollywood movies. This is the sincerity. The 2025 Minecraft movie is the irony. We need more of this.
This is just beautiful. A true work of art and love for the game and their fans. Imagine what would they do with a Hollywood-level budget. Companies should just look for actual fans with actual skills and love for the title instead of random "high end Hollywood directors". I hope you guys release a part 2 and continue the series! 🐺🧟♂️💀🕷
You probably already know why I'm here. The WB Minecraft trailer had failed me, and now i'm watching a Minecraft fan movie we all wanted to be full-length.
This is a better mini film than a randos getting isekaid by a portal It's actually tell the love story of alex and steve as they are the 2 original skin that exist. I'll take this anyday than the uncanny 15 mil movie.
I feel like part of what makes this better than the new movie is that the people making this actually know what minecraft is, and are also keeping a very consistent style.
Perfectly done! The feel of the monotonous grind with selecting paintings and the feeling of accomplishment when you finally get your gear upgrades was spot on. The props were simple but conveyed what the Minecraft experience is. After all, Minecraft is not a super-realisic and this is a lot of what makes it so endearing. So, congratulations a year after originally posting the short film on creating an enjoyable film reflective of the source material.
All I have to say is 11/10, actually no 100/10, everything about this is perfect, the acting, the 2015/2013 Minecraft vibe, the cinema, the mobs, the storyline, the dog, THE ORCHESTRAL MINECRAFT MUSIC, everything. I can already tell that this is going to be 10x better than the new Minecraft movie coming out, really hoping that this gets a sequel!!!
The actual Minecraft movie trailer was just released a couple weeks ago from the time of watching this. I can already tell that this short film is leagues better than the garbage film the “feature film” will be. You guys should be proud for making this. You guys did a great job!
They punched a tree to get wood and didn't even say any "Ehrm, why is it floating" jokes like you just know the Minecraft movie would do, already significantly better
I like that it’s live action, keeps a consistent “live-action” style with the cgi, and it’s played off that these characters are the same Steve and Alex that were spawned to inhabit the world in-game. Plus they don’t talk, it feels way more authentic with just sounds and grunts. No idea what the Minecraft movie’s plot is, but from the trailer it seems it’s just the ‘human gets trapped inside the game and somehow has to return home’ trope. TL;DR: Live action works better when it’s a consistent style, and feels authentic. 11/10
I now think the "It should have been animated" view can actually be tested with something like this. Not with big companies of course, if they dont make it animated they dont make it watchable
The difference between this video and the Minecraft movie is the simple fact that one Director played the original game,and the other Director, did not
Yesss. All the inside jokes and experiences that the players all get. Hire these people as the writers and producers now for an actual in touch hilarious IRL MC movie. Or series even. Much enjoyment and also $$$ if done right.
...and college films continue to be some of the best entertainment I've ever seen. It captures a real spirit of the game, and it just feels good to watch. Edit: I have more good things to say: The opening sequence was a perfect mix of nostalgia and adventure. The choice of having no language spoken, the use of game mechanics almost as Easter eggs, even the SAND on the sand block were brilliant show-don't-tell choices. Absolutely seamless merger of blocky and realistic that neither felt out of place in the world. The Enderman eyes-in-the-dark-behind-the-protagonist-monster-reveal, done a thousand times over, shown here that it still works when done right. Last but not least, dog: adorable. Amazing.
What can I say, really? The acting is expressive The dog is adorable The music is spot on The enderman is terrifying The feeling, that unknown vastness, is captured so well This is by far the closest I've ever gotten to reliving my first experience with Minecraft, those first few days in survival, and deserves so much more attention than it has gotten so far.
I love how their improvement is shown, going from barely being able to fight a single skeleton (not even killing it itself the sun did) to Alex being able to beat it in an archery duel. And how it's shown that they ALWAYS have something to learn and they can improve
@@MazzaHazzaVR 100% agreed. Any single moment of this move will probably be better then the entire official Minecraft Movie lol. So much thought was put into every frame of this movie its actually crazy.

@@MazzaHazzaVR Yeah exactly! The painting gag with Steve is hilarious and relatable as well. The enchantment table language for the book is also a nice touch. You can tell that the person who made this has played Minecraft before and really understands the game and how it works.

The music is so perfect and also perfectly placed everywhere throughout and everything feels really high quality. Mojang should seriously hire you guys One of the few times I'm happy with TH-cam recommendations Well done!!
This is incredible. It captures the spirit of Minecraft so well. I also love how Steve and Alex are characterized; they are so curious and excited for adventure to a reckless extent, which is so true to how they would be irl.
i like that the story explains itself, no half baked dialogue, especially since minecraft characters don’t talk like they’ve been made to in the real trailer and other games
I'll take your word for it, cuz i haven't even seen it and I suspect just by the news of Jack B. that it's awful. I would rather choose this to be a mini-series!
This was like playing Minecraft for the first time; you captured that sense of wonder and comfort and danger as well. I loved every second of it. Steve and Alex were both wonderful, the score was amazing and the special effects were incredible. I hope this project gets the attention it deserves. It's absolutely phenomenal what you've made here.
Yup You always start out as a little baby with nothing in the world, but then after a long time; You'll have full enchanted Netherite armor and maybe tools! Similar to BoTW or ToTK! (I mean every game you start with nothing...)
I always wondered how an irl minecraft movie would look like and this is what I wanted. Also it has brought our first minecraft world memories and made us nostalgic. It was actually gorgeous..
This has everything that a proper Minecraft movie should have! The trailer for the real movie was so disappointing, yet this had everything, even without Hollywood budget. Well done!
The CGI, the sets, the props, the music, the acting, the everything! I loved the orchestral renditions of Minecraft’s soundtrack, the beautifully made sets, the props, the mobs, even the furry creeper from the trailer is here!
I really like the fact that this short implies that the message "you can't sleep there are monsters nearby" doesn't mean "it's too dangerous" but instead it means "go outside, you are too exited"
That was extremely well done. The balance between realism and stylization was pretty much perfect. The visuals looked real but just cartoony enough to keep the game's feel. The CGI was surprisingly good (even Hollywood often can't do it right). The only thing that was off about this was the odd tension that looked like Alex and Steve were going to breed every other shot.
seriously tho litreally everytime they looked at each other the tension was through the roof espicially at the last scene where i actually thought were gonna kiss or smh
I came with low expectations for a low budget fan film. I was greeted by something with a better storyline as an adaptation than almost every modern video game movie
this was everything younger me wanted in a minecraft "real life" film. absolutely astonishing. i want the recipe/mob book so badly! it was made so well and fit the minecraft vibe so good!
I remember watching "minecraft in real life!!1" youtube videos a lot, in like 2012 (I was 9 or 10). I was even thinking of trying to make one myself (I was 10 at a time), so good I didn't XD The one I still remember was short series, on what if Minecraft was in real life AND in the realies of rural Russia (which, well, is where I am from). It was so bad and nonsense it actully was good, in a way it were making me laugh all my ass off way back then... like, dude was just walking with a camera and right hand bent in elbow (to make it look like a Steve hand from first person view). And in the last episode (there were only 3) he was collecting beer cans to "smelt" them into ingots and make some armor.
This is amazing. Even the detail from 3D model mobs, to the players communicating with just their bodies like the original, involving the custom and soothing Minecraft remixes, this should win the best Oscar award for the best Minecraft fan film ever!
I appreciate the lack of words. The film relies on body language, facial ques and an understanding of the game mechanics to tell its story.. along with the occiasional "hmmmm" for good measure
From one film-maker to another, this is incredible! The CGI, the sound effects, the props, the sets, the mobs, the Minecraft vibe! There has got to be a sequel!
This is a masterpiece. It captures everything players love about Minecraft: the feeling of arriving home after a long night, taming a dog, etc. Also the acting, CGI, and music are perfect.
faça isso por que se você falar que foi o filme original é possível eles pegarem cancer de olho, virarem um gato de porcelana e sairem voando pela sua janela e gritarem, MAMA MIA. este comentário não tem intenção de fazer sentido.
The quality is top notch, thanks for your work. It turned out like that same feeling when you first entered the old Minecraft and are just getting to know the game!
@@KTSMORI Well, it wasn't made professionaly and it was made by fans so I think the term is justified. Though I do agree that it feels too good to be called that.
Bro, the movie one is more accurate because it’s made out of grass like the lore-wise creeper 💀 It’s literally the same thing but with leaves instead of grass here. (I love both movies tho)
That was fantastic. Details, the music. Doing things as you would in the game, like when building your house. The grains falling away from the sand, hanging the painting, punching wood, and then chopping. All is well done.
Just came here from PhoenixSC, and this is incredible! So much emotion is being conveyed through actions and body language, and the sense of accomplishment one gets from building their first house, not to mention defeating their first mob, making a four legged friend, and doing it with a friend comes through so well its making me feel like I'm playing the game for the first time again.
This is SO INCREDIBLY well made! The VFX used on top of the custom score just perfectly nails that sort of RTX Minecraft look while giving it the nolstalgic feeling of the original game. I would love to see a video detailing how it was made
What’s most impressive about this video isn’t how perfectly it replicates the game; rather, everyone has their own projection of what Minecraft would look like in reality. Translating a pixelated block game into the real world is incredibly challenging. In this video, the handling of landscapes, character designs, items, and interactions reaches a level that feels almost perfect to me. But what truly made me fall in love with this video is how it accurately captures the spirit of Minecraft: exploration and creation. Watching it reignited the excitement and anticipation I felt when I first entered the game. Well done!
Alex definitely is a show-stealer. She's so pretty omg. And the quality man... it's so good I can't imagine the overlapping work like editing, modelling, rendering and all in the state of fan made. It's already better than that one trailer came out not long ago
As far as I'm concerned, this is the real Minecraft movie. But I'm an adult who's been playing Minecraft forever and can appreciate things like this. This short film here is a work of art.
I would love to see this as a series, or a full length movie. Discovering villagers/pillagers, traveling to the different biomes, the nether, the end cities, the deep dark/ancient cities!!! So well done, bravo to everyone involved.
That would be real hard bc you would have to find real like places like that that resembled it and I don’t think things like that exist irl even a little besides well Acuall hell but that’s unrecordable and I hope nobody ever goes there but that’s the unfortunate truth of life
The sound score that is perfectly aligned with every second of the action on the screen is truly breathtaking... and the way "some friends from college" is an entire symphony orchestra 🎉 I would love to see a video concert of the orchestra playing the score!
Okay, a few thoughts: 1. This is soo wonderful! How the heck is this not viewed by many people? 2. The quality of this production is criminally underrated.
Well, it's only been two weeks and it's already at 50k views, which is really good considering that this channel has no other videos, so of course the algorithm won't like it, although give it some time and I'm sure that with the dedicated community that minecraft has, it will reach at least a few hundred thousand views by the end of the year, and over time can easily reach the million. Mark my words
this shows the difference between making a film for money and making a film for the enjoyment for others and true passion. This is what i’d hope the minecraft movie could be like.
This is astonishing. I absolutely ADOREEE the minor details snuck in there. Like how Steve fixing the painting, Alex thinking before giving the bone to the dog and just how natural the transition scenes are! You can also see the original personalities given by Mojang. (Alex’s eyes getting excited and Steve’s becoming cautious when they were flipping through the book) These details are what make it feel sorta official!
The choose to make this film about the first day and then make it about 20 minutes is amazing. I love it. And the fact that they don’t say anything just like how you would expect in Minecraft makes this so much more fun to watch. The props are cool too. I love that this was just about finding a cave and fighting an enderman as that’s what people might do their first day and night. I also loved that this was about Steve and Alex instead of those new characters they added recently. Everything about this feels so nice to watch. No unnecessary unfunny jokes, and everything feels well planned out. I love this so much. I already want a sequel lol
As someone in the video production field from Ohio, I can confirm this is easily some of the best work I have ever seen on a local level, seriously. Whoever did the compositing side of things is also absolutely fantastic and i'd love to learn from them personally. All I can say is every single person involved should be so, so proud of themselves for what this is.
Insanely good! This should be a lot bigger than it is, can you make a behind the scenes video? I'm also wondering if there will be a sequel as it does leave open the possibility.
@@LynxGamerDa2 But not everything is real, they credidet Blender for VFX. But everything looks so real, that it is hard to figure out if they did it irl or with VFX. The roof and walls from 4:44 for example, it is totally possible to make that irl, but the final house doesn't use those so it would be a lot less effort to edit those in.
I absolutely adore this film! It's amazing how you all made everything! All of the music, art, and of course the film itself, everything is so well done and professional! I think we need to appreciate projects like this more, you guys put so much work into it and it shows! :D
Before I didn't think much of a live action Minecraft film and always thought it would be better animated. But you guys really nailed it, especially on exploration!
Now this is what a minecraft film should be. No dialogue, just beautiful scenery and raw expressions to convey all the emotion. It really portrays the feeling of exploring minecraft with nothing but your thoughts and the huge minecraft world to keep you company
@@DrakoWulf We said that about the Mario movie and look what happened. Give it a chance. We don't even know what the real movie is even going to be about yet.
@@ZazzelTheGamer | I didn't say it'll be bad, but anything they make won't be AS good as this. Literally the only thing you could improve upon for this fan film is better CGI, and that stuff is expensive.
I’ve said that it would be impossible to do a live action Minecraft…now I’m proven wrong. Definitely well done: it feels like Minecraft and how the first days feel playing the game. I especially loved details like setting up the painting, it’s way too relatable
This is actually amazing! You guys captured the FEELING of Minecraft better than Warner Brothers, Disney, or Paramount ever could. I hope everyone involved is very proud of the art they’ve made.
This just popped up as a recommendation and I'm so glad it did - what an amazing short film! As others have said this captures the wonder and excitement of early game Minecraft perfectly. The casting, music, visual effects and storytelling were all spot on. I sincerely hope to see many more videos showing the adventures of Steve and Alex in the future!
Wow! Amazing short film. The actors were excellent. The effects were great. I really liked the music too. It really captured the feel of the game. Thank you.
This was such a pleasure to watch. The lack of dialogue made it very universal too, so people from all over the world can enjoy it equally. Every part of this was so well thought out, you can tell it was a project of passion!! Well done, thank you so much for sharing this.

@@TrueSlugcat its officially called enchanting and it makes more sense that way
i like that the story explains itself, no half baked dialogue, especially since minecraft characters don’t talk like they’ve been made to in the real trailer and other games
Thats crazyy, the plot, the CGI, the musics. BETTER THAN THE ACTUAL MOVIE!!
This is so much BETTER than the "official" movie trailer that it's not even comparable.
TEN YEARS of planning and they made garbage. As much as i love the game i would never see that trash in the theatre
Not better
It’s just a trailer. Why is everyone jumping to conclusions.
I'll take your word for it, cuz i haven't even seen it and I suspect just by the news of Jack B. that it's awful. I would rather choose this to be a mini-series!

This was like playing Minecraft for the first time; you captured that sense of wonder and comfort and danger as well. I loved every second of it. Steve and Alex were both wonderful, the score was amazing and the special effects were incredible. I hope this project gets the attention it deserves. It's absolutely phenomenal what you've made here.

I always wondered how an
irl minecraft movie would look like and this is what I wanted. Also it has brought our first minecraft world memories and made us nostalgic. It was actually gorgeous..
The nolstalgia and how this was done 👌 top tier
What you think of the trailer now?
This has everything that a proper Minecraft movie should have! The trailer for the real movie was so disappointing, yet this had everything, even without Hollywood budget. Well done!
Came here to cure my eye-cancer that is the teaser to the minecraft movie.
It's not that big of a deal

The CGI, the sets, the props, the music, the acting, the everything! I loved the orchestral renditions of Minecraft’s soundtrack, the beautifully made sets, the props, the mobs, even the furry creeper from the trailer is here!
I really like the fact that this short implies that the message "you can't sleep there are monsters nearby" doesn't mean "it's too dangerous" but instead it means "go outside, you are too exited"
Wow, I've never thought of it this way. I was always more into the building than fighting.
"You can't sleep right now! There are monsters outside. Go on. Go kill them!"
Why can’t the Minecraft Movie be this? This was so awesome and spot on. Love this too much!
That was extremely well done. The balance between realism and stylization was pretty much perfect. The visuals looked real but just cartoony enough to keep the game's feel. The CGI was surprisingly good (even Hollywood often can't do it right). The only thing that was off about this was the odd tension that looked like Alex and Steve were going to breed every other shot.
LMAO
That's what we want isn't it
seriously tho litreally everytime they looked at each other the tension was through the roof espicially at the last scene where i actually thought were gonna kiss or smh
@@Elcoin I will admit I expected a jump cut to a scene with hugging and moaning sounds, before Steve rolls over to stare at the ceiling ...........
@@cajunpower jeez looks like we alll thought something similar in a way 💀😂
I came with low expectations for a low budget fan film. I was greeted by something with a better storyline as an adaptation than almost every modern video game movie
this was everything younger me wanted in a minecraft "real life" film. absolutely astonishing. i want the recipe/mob book so badly! it was made so well and fit the minecraft vibe so good!
i want that book too!
I remember watching "minecraft in real life!!1" youtube videos a lot, in like 2012 (I was 9 or 10). I was even thinking of trying to make one myself (I was 10 at a time), so good I didn't XD
The one I still remember was short series, on what if Minecraft was in real life AND in the realies of rural Russia (which, well, is where I am from). It was so bad and nonsense it actully was good, in a way it were making me laugh all my ass off way back then... like, dude was just walking with a camera and right hand bent in elbow (to make it look like a Steve hand from first person view). And in the last episode (there were only 3) he was collecting beer cans to "smelt" them into ingots and make some armor.
Im in awe. This is so cool. The coloring is also so goddamn pretty
the enderpearl shot!!!! holy shit is that flawless!!
This is amazing. Even the detail from 3D model mobs, to the players communicating with just their bodies like the original, involving the custom and soothing Minecraft remixes, this should win the best Oscar award for the best Minecraft fan film ever!
When I see a TH-camr comment:
I appreciate the lack of words. The film relies on body language, facial ques and an understanding of the game mechanics to tell its story.. along with the occiasional "hmmmm" for good measure
From one film-maker to another, this is incredible! The CGI, the sound effects, the props, the sets, the mobs, the Minecraft vibe! There has got to be a sequel!
I think they left a cliffhanger at the end for a reason. So, I think they will make a sequel!😮 I think they will even make this an entire series.
I'm not a Film-Maler, but otherwise I was about to write the same comment. This really is great stuff here!
Even the dog is such a good actor!
I love this fan film sm!
This is a masterpiece. It captures everything players love about Minecraft: the feeling of arriving home after a long night, taming a dog, etc. Also the acting, CGI, and music are perfect.
It also capture the detail in real minecraft such as mob drop and also cave holes in plain biome..
This is a ✨*MASTERPIECE*✨
there was no cgi they used zombies and skeletons in the real world, duh.

@@KTSMORI Well, it wasn't made professionaly and it was made by fans so I think the term is justified. Though I do agree that it feels too good to be called that.
this is aging very well
The creeper design looks way better than the actual movie. It doesn't look fuzzy it looks like leaves. Amazing!
Bro, the movie one is more accurate because it’s made out of grass like the lore-wise creeper 💀
It’s literally the same thing but with leaves instead of grass here. (I love both movies tho)
That was fantastic. Details, the music. Doing things as you would in the game, like when building your house. The grains falling away from the sand, hanging the painting, punching wood, and then chopping. All is well done.
Congratulations, dude, you're leagues better than Hollywood.
I agree
Just came here from PhoenixSC, and this is incredible! So much emotion is being conveyed through actions and body language, and the sense of accomplishment one gets from building their first house, not to mention defeating their first mob, making a four legged friend, and doing it with a friend comes through so well its making me feel like I'm playing the game for the first time again.

This is SO INCREDIBLY well made! The VFX used on top of the custom score just perfectly nails that sort of RTX Minecraft look while giving it the nolstalgic feeling of the original game. I would love to see a video detailing how it was made
What’s most impressive about this video isn’t how perfectly it replicates the game; rather, everyone has their own projection of what Minecraft would look like in reality. Translating a pixelated block game into the real world is incredibly challenging. In this video, the handling of landscapes, character designs, items, and interactions reaches a level that feels almost perfect to me. But what truly made me fall in love with this video is how it accurately captures the spirit of Minecraft: exploration and creation. Watching it reignited the excitement and anticipation I felt when I first entered the game. Well done!
Alex definitely is a show-stealer. She's so pretty omg. And the quality man... it's so good I can't imagine the overlapping work like editing, modelling, rendering and all in the state of fan made. It's already better than that one trailer came out not long ago
All mfs have to say when looking at a female human being is "hur durr shes hot".
With you making pretty much no money off this, massive respect. This is better than what an actual Minecraft movie would ever be.
🤿
Yes yep 👍 yea
Bro stop the cap lol
@@sabalghoo You delusional or something?
After the first teaser came out today... You're definitely right.
As far as I'm concerned, this is the real Minecraft movie. But I'm an adult who's been playing Minecraft forever and can appreciate things like this. This short film here is a work of art.
Man this is way better then the movie trailer. People who loves creative work can easily say which is better.
I would love to see this as a series, or a full length movie. Discovering villagers/pillagers, traveling to the different biomes, the nether, the end cities, the deep dark/ancient cities!!! So well done, bravo to everyone involved.
That would be real hard bc you would have to find real like places like that that resembled it and I don’t think things like that exist irl even a little besides well Acuall hell but that’s unrecordable and I hope nobody ever goes there but that’s the unfortunate truth of life
The sound score that is perfectly aligned with every second of the action on the screen is truly breathtaking... and the way "some friends from college" is an entire symphony orchestra 🎉
I would love to see a video concert of the orchestra playing the score!
Okay, a few thoughts:
1. This is soo wonderful! How the heck is this not viewed by many people?
2. The quality of this production is criminally underrated.
3. The characters have optifine because the cave gets lighten up when they hold it (useless fact)
@@Rzgar67 yup, but still it's kinds realistic to the real one, as holding it doesn't light it as much as placing it down (in cave VS in house)
Well, it's only been two weeks and it's already at 50k views, which is really good considering that this channel has no other videos, so of course the algorithm won't like it, although give it some time and I'm sure that with the dedicated community that minecraft has, it will reach at least a few hundred thousand views by the end of the year, and over time can easily reach the million. Mark my words
@@Cropak_Napeik yup, 100% agreed

this shows the difference between making a film for money and making a film for the enjoyment for others and true passion. This is what i’d hope the minecraft movie could be like.
This is absolutely phenomenal!! I hope you guys are proud of this, its so cute and captures what Minecraft is
Fantastic storytelling, well done!!
This is astonishing. I absolutely ADOREEE the minor details snuck in there. Like how Steve fixing the painting, Alex thinking before giving the bone to the dog and just how natural the transition scenes are! You can also see the original personalities given by Mojang. (Alex’s eyes getting excited and Steve’s becoming cautious when they were flipping through the book) These details are what make it feel sorta official!
I would say 'Mojang should hire them for the movie', but Hollywood would just desecrate what makes this film so good
so let's not
i love how a fan movie is better than the official movie trailer itself
The choose to make this film about the first day and then make it about 20 minutes is amazing. I love it. And the fact that they don’t say anything just like how you would expect in Minecraft makes this so much more fun to watch. The props are cool too. I love that this was just about finding a cave and fighting an enderman as that’s what people might do their first day and night. I also loved that this was about Steve and Alex instead of those new characters they added recently. Everything about this feels so nice to watch. No unnecessary unfunny jokes, and everything feels well planned out. I love this so much. I already want a sequel lol
It's the best & cutest thing ever, but instead we will get some old guy screaming "I am Steve!!!1" for the lulz.
This is actually really awesome. I so enjoy that the zombies are actually just the guy playing steve with green skin and hair.
Light years better than the Minecraft movie trailer.
My point exactly
YES.
jack black: _i'm steve_

Now this is what a minecraft film should be. No dialogue, just beautiful scenery and raw expressions to convey all the emotion. It really portrays the feeling of exploring minecraft with nothing but your thoughts and the huge minecraft world to keep you company
