NOW IN THEATERS:
A Minecraft Movie – The Overworld, a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on one’s imagination and creativity, pulls four friends into its orbit in the umpteenth adaptation of a video game now in a theater near you. Thankfully the Overworld doesn’t depend on the imagination or creativity of the filmmakers behind this project for it to survive or this film would have been over in five minutes. Come to think of it, maybe that’s not a bad idea.
