Hits the right buttons for the fans only

I think the movie is to be commended for understanding the joys and highlights of Minecraft, and bringing it to live with vivid visuals and a no-nonsense, fun atmosphere. But in no way it manages to go deep and be a touching and brilliant movie for adults too, like Kung Fu Panda did.

Pretty dumb

What was happening inside the gorge seemed somewhat interesting - I don't know it was so dark - but the rest of the movie, the love story and the whole premise, seemed pretty dumb to me. I didn't buy any of this nonsense nor did I care about the main characters - unrealistic and hollow stereotypes.

Pleasantly weird but not for it's entirety

A tale that shines with the uncomfortable yet intriguing weirdness and peculiar acting that director Yorgos Lanthimos is getting really good at. About halfway, when the story continues in the woods, it kind of lost it's touch and energy, it felt improvised and I can't remember what happened.

A movie that should have struck more chords than it did

Both elements of the story are quite touching, and combining the supernatural with real-life misery of puberty gave it an interesting spin. Yet somehow, the movie just remained floating in the air and I didn't know what to think of it. So maybe the message didn't quiet come across.

so-so

The first half was ok, but the second half turned out so-so. The people he meets are flat and bring nothing interesting to the story, and the story or explanation for the event moves slow and didn't trickle my senses.
