A Minecraft MovieA Family Comedy standout of 2025

The "chicken jockey" movie. A Minecraft Movie rode a wave of ironica Gen Z enthusiasm to nearly $1 billion, becoming the highest-grossing video game adaptation of all time until it was dethroned later in the year.

Jack Black eats ham in a cube world. Jason Momoa wears a leather jacket. The plot is incomprehensible. It made $961 million.

Verdict: An absurd film that earned its absurd box office. Watch it with a group, ideally having had a drink or two. A cultural artifact as much as a film.
