Blocky horror picture show: ‘A Minecraft Movie’ ignites questionable audience etiquette

In movie theaters, the release of “A Minecraft Movie” has led to debates about audience etiquette, similar to previous discussions around the “Wicked” sing-along. Fans are increasingly using their phones during screenings, particularly during a scene with Jack Black's character, which has resulted in disruptive behavior such as echoing lines, tossing popcorn, and even reenacting scenes. This has led to ejections and police involvement, raising concerns about the safety and experience of other moviegoers. Director Jared Hess expressed support for fans but questioned the need for police intervention. The film itself has been criticized for lacking originality and depth, described as creatively bankrupt with a generic storyline and underdeveloped characters, despite appealing to younger viewers. The chaotic atmosphere in theaters highlights the challenges of balancing enjoyment and disruption.

A Problem With A Minecraft Movie

A Minecraft Movie was released in theaters on April 4th and has a score of 46% on Rotten Tomatoes. The film follows Henry, played by Sebastian Hansen, who opens a portal to the "overworld" and embarks on a quest with Steve, voiced by Jack Black. Key female characters include Henry's sister Natalie, played by Emma Myers, and real estate agent Dawn, portrayed by Danielle Brooks. The film has faced criticism for its portrayal of female characters, who are depicted as struggling and reliant on male characters. It reinforces stereotypes that women are inept at video games and does not pass the Bechdel test, as conversations between female characters primarily focus on a male character, Henry.
