As you may have guessed, the Minecraft Movie is sitting on quite literally two funny jokes and the rest looks worse than fan-made YouTube films. The majority of reviews are trying to sweeten the pill, but it's nearly impossible to spot a bright side.

Wait, it's real!

Tron Legacy was a masterpiece and I've watched it four times in a movie theater (twice in IMAX) in just a couple of weeks. Despite a questionable plot, it has enough depth into it and amazing world building. The sound and visual designes, made to evolve over oddities of the first movie, were also spectacular. Will it be possible to grow it further?

Apparently, Minecraft movie is on track to become a commercial hit. It earned $10m+ during the preview evening, $100m+ on its first day and is now aiming for $260m+ by the end of the weekend.

Wait, is it bad or what? It's rather dumb, but somewhat passionate and filled with references for true fans. It makes sense to watch if you have kids and they are into it.

Remember how it was expected that Minecraft is going to earn $260m during the first weekend? The expectations failed...

... It has $301 million now with both domestic and global markets earnings exceeding expectations.

Highly recommended off topic 🙂

A place further than the universe tells the story of four seemingly random people becoming friends over one's dream to reach Antarctica, where her mom went missing years ago.

The new episode of Black Mirror gaslighted the audience: there are quite literally two versions of it!

The idea will work even better for games 😜

A huge off-topic but whoa: Journey to the Beginning of Time (Cesta Do Pravěku), filmed in 1955 looks oddly impressive!

Lilo & Stitch is aiming at $340m after the first weekend. It's the best live-action success for Disney. While many of the adult reviewers hate it, kids and families seem happy about the remake.

While Mission Impossible, in comparison, only starts with $190m. But thanks to both of them, the movie industry in the US faced its best ever Memorial Day (IDK what's that).

Oddly good. After all these years of Marvel downfall, they made a movie about people.

Practical effects in Spider-Man 1/2/3 were exceptional:

Superman is good, grounded, and barely about saving the world from obvious evil.

James Gunn pulled off a story, where everyone is a human being, even ones who aren't. Fears, doubts, daily routine, and Daily Planet feel natural and slightly metaphorical.

His name is Link!

Benjamin Evan Ainsworth (The Haunting of Bly Manor, The Recycling Man) will portray Link, the silent warrior protagonist of the game series, and Bo Bragason (Renegade Neil, The Radleys) will portray Zelda, the princess of Hyrule.
