Hello future Minecraft movie-goers!

I know you’ve been thinking just about every day, “When’s the Minecraft movie coming out?” Luckily for you, we can finally say!

The Minecraft movie will be released on May 24, 2019! The film will also be released in 3D & IMAX.

Yes, that might seem like a long time away, but it just so happens to be the right amount of time to make it completely awesome. And we all want an awesome Minecraft movie, right?

That’s it for now, but as time goes on we’ll share loads more. Loads!

I still don't get what is so good about the game, let alone have a movie from said game.
I only played the version on Android.

It's a sandbox game that allows you to "play" it in a ton of different ways. I've only played the full desktop version mostly because it allows for a lot of very cool mods. I honestly wouldn't see a point of playing it on my phone after playing the full version. I'd be too frustrated with the limitations.

The movie is a cash grab of course, but even cash grabs can be decent movies (The Lego Movie is a prime example).

Playing it on a phone would be miserable. It was built for the desktop, and you can't beat keyboard + mouse for first person games.

I had no idea it would get as big as it has. Crazy to think how it started and what it's become.

The LEGO Movie was fantastic, no way would I consider that a cash grab type movie.

If done right, I can see a Minecraft movie being enjoyable.

That's the problem. A phone is not really that great of a gaming platform for a sandbox game like MC. It's way funner on PC. I tend to get right into it, then get bored, then go back, it's kinda a cycle.

A movie based on it seems kinda cheesy though. Minecraft does not really have any kind of lore or story line you could go with.
