Review Minecraft: A wide farce, a farce

It was a bad idea from the beginning. Of course it was. “Minecraft”, which was produced by the Swedish company Mojang Studios for the first time in 2011, began as a modest sand game where young people can be inhabited in a long time mining time of mining wood, crude, and other materials to build any structures they want. There were no levels to “Minecraft”, nor any kind of seeking to complete it. It was, to borrow the other critic, simulation simulation. The game was very popular, supported by its simple, cubic and lazy beauty. It was a three -dimensional version of the 8 -bit game of the NES era.

It has become a generation addicted. An enlarged and enlarged. A tribe of YouTube owners appeared, where hundreds of hours of Minecraft were published “Video of Play while exploring mining factories, material formulation, combination of materials, and fighting from researchers. Until writing these lines, no one collects” Minecraft “every day. See dozens of backpacks” Minecraft “, water boats, shirts, hours, that.

So “Minecraft” was somewhat inevitable. The “Minecraft” empire was slowly rising towards theaters for years, and it finally fell in Bonanza’s form of $ 150 million. What can be done with the movie “Minecraft”? Not much, apparently. Since the game is an open sand box, there is nothing traditionally cinematic that can be extracted from it. There is no final president of the fighting, nor the protagonist with the story of a story, nor gradually difficult levels.

As such, Hess and his army have taken from the script book (only the five in which the credit is attributed) the most wisdom way with their adaptation: “Minecraft” is a wide farce, a truce without a hint of seriousness, reverence or cold. The most shocking thing? It is not terrible.
