Fans of the beloved block-building game can now immerse themselves in the cinematic world of A Minecraft Movie, which is currently available for streaming on the Max platform. Following its theatrical release, the film has garnered attention for its lively audience reactions, particularly scenes featuring a chicken jockey and Jack Black’s spirited musical number about cooking chicken with lava.
Directed by Jared Hess, known for his work on Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre, this PG-rated comedy showcases a star-studded cast that includes Jason Momoa, Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, Sebastian Eugene Hansen, and Jennifer Coolidge. The plot follows a group of protagonists as they navigate the cubic Overworld in a quest to return to their real-world lives. With themes of creativity and adventure woven throughout, the film features mid- and post-credits scenes, menacing piglins, and, of course, the whimsical sight of zombies riding chickens.
