Who’s ready to lose their chicken-jockeying mind and watch A Minecraft Movie at home?! Well I’ve got good news for you because the live-action film is available now on Digital, 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD!
In 2009, the first version of Minecraft video game was released. For parents with children who are teenagers and younger, chances are your kids played the video game. A Minecraft Movie is the first-ever live-action adaptation of Minecraft, which also happens to be the best-selling video game of all time.
A Minecraft Movie stars Jason Momoa (Aquaman) and Jack Black (Nacho Libre). The film is directed by Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite).
Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity doesn’t just help you craft, it’s essential to one’s survival! Four misfits—Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Momoa), Henry (Hansen), Natalie (Myers) and Dawn (Brooks)—find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they’ll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like Piglins and Zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve (Black). Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative…the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world.
Rounding out the supporting cast is Emma Myers (Wednesday), Oscar nominee Danielle Brooks (The Color Purple), Sebastian Eugene Hansen (Just Mercy), and Jennifer Coolidge (The White Lotus).
The Digital, 4K UHD, and Blu-ray versions have tons of bonus content!

Thank you for giving me an idea for a family night in. I can’t wait to share this experience with them!
I actually went to see this at the cinema with my daughter and friends it was not intentional but as one of their friends pulled out and my daughter had purchased the ticket I ended up going. Although I had no idea of the characters I did enjoy the film
My daughter saw this at the cinema with her friend but my son didn’t get round to it. Good to know this as I can arrange a little movie day at home for him.
I don’t know much about the movie but I know minecraft is a popular game. I’m sure my niece would love to see this.
My nephew is a super fan of Minecraft. I am sure he loves to see this movie.
I might have to watch this if it comes onto Sky cinema. Not that I know anything about Minecraft but I love Jack Black x
I haven’t seen it and have wondered what the fuss is. Now I know and it’ll make a wonderful long weekend watch over the 4th! Thanks, Jen!
Woah! We will now watching it. My nephews and brother are super fan of mine craft
I know lots of kiddos that would love this one and so glad it’s on DVD! Thanks for keeping me informed and grabbing a copy today!
CHICKEN JOCKEY! We loved this movie so much. I have to get it for our collection.
My teen was a HUGE Minecraft fan. He’s almost grown now but he still plays from time to time. I think he and his friends did go see this movie.
We saw the Minecraft movie in cinema, and our children (especially the teens) really enjoyed it! It’s nice to know that these movies are still coming to Blu Ray.
We completely forgot to go see this movie at the cinema. I’ll have to buy a digital copy.
