If this movie is successful I will finally admit that I'm out of touch. The trailer gives off the same vibes I get from AI generated images. Absolutely soulless slob

Might depend on how you define success, like just box office sales, or public reception? Because it might make bank still, even it is shit, just because kids will probably still wanna watch it.

I mean I didn't love it but the hate it gets seems a bit over the top. Would've been better as just an animated movie though.

Yeaah so true. Like something along the style of trailers/public announcements would've been great

Honestly, it's not too late for them to make it one. They probably haven't finished much more than we see here, and most of this could be reused by just putting detailed character models over the actors. It'd be even less work than with the sonic redo, as they'd have the environments and animation reference already done. They wouldn't have to worry about lighting the real footage with in game light sources and would have more freedom to tweak scenes now.

It might even be cheaper to do things that way from here on out, as they would already have models of the people in the scene where the actors are supposed to be in the render. This approach makes no sense, which tells me that some producer and/or the director is fixated on putting real people in Minecraft. You could still have them be from our world while not making everyone's jobs harder and alienating the audience.

I really hope some vfx channel whips up a redo of this trailer with 3d characters in a week and the studio actually changes it.

Oh there is already one redo by a guy who made it in 1 day

[–] TotallynotJessica 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I looked, but what I saw redid everything instead of just the real people. I'm talking about keeping everything the same except make the people into high quality 3d models with the same style.

[–] Wizard_Pope 2 points 2 months ago

Probably was easier to do what they did in such a short timeframe. But what ,ou suggested will surely come out in the next month.

I don't think it's as ugly as people say it is, but it is FAR from cute.

I think it looks like a Super Bowl ad for a mobile game but that could just be how the trailer was cut

it seems like the kind of movie best watched under some kind of influence with a few friends, so I'm expecting great things

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

it is gonna be a great watch pirating it and watching it with a few beers with my friends

If I blur my eyes a bit, I must agree. It really does look charming.
