DonΓÇÖt throw all your popcorn at the screen, but A Minecraft Movie begins
streaming exclusively on HBO Max (which used to be Max, which used to be HBO
Max) on June 20. The big studio adaptation of the best-selling video game of
all time was something of a surprise hit for those unfamiliar with the
gameΓÇÖs mammoth audience.

Movie adaptations of video games can be really hit or miss. The Super Mario
Bros. Movie set the box office record for the highest-grossing video game
movie of all time and was a fun, if safe, movie. On the other end of that
spectrum is Borderlands, which was a massive letdown and a box-office
failure. With that spotty track record, we were pleasantly surprised when A
Minecraft Movie turned out to be…pretty good, actually.

The movie stars Jack Black as Steve, the original player character from the
video game, who ends up transported into the voxel world of Minecraft, while
Jason Momoa stars as an egomaniacal former gaming superstar. The movie will
also debut on the HBO linear cable channel on Saturday, June 21, at 8PM ET.
