    The video game with the cult-following among Gen Z and Alpha took over the box office last month. Now the blockbuster film adapted from the game, dubbed A Minecraft Movie, is headed to households everywhere.

    From creepers and piglins to villages and the Nether, the film is full of staples from Mojang’s crafting game. But that doesn’t mean you need to have played the game before to see it (although a primer wouldn’t hurt). It stars Jack Black, Jason Momoa, Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, and Sebastian Hansen and is directed by Jared Hess — the man known for Napoleon Dynamite, the kookiest film of the 2000s. In other words, you know you’re in for a dang good time whether you know anything about Minecraft or not.

    Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch A Minecraft Movie at home.

    What is A Minecraft Movie about?

    A Minecraft Movie follows four misfits (Momoa, Brooks, Myers, and Hansen) as they get sucked into the Overworld of Minecraft, a realm where everything is made of cubes (yes, everything — even the living creatures). While it seems like an imaginative playground, it’s also under siege from a dire threat. To get back home, they’ll have to team up with expert crafter and resident Steve (Black) to keep the Overworld safe.

    “‘This place makes no sense,’ Natalie (Myers) says at one point with a tinge of exasperation, and she is speaking for all of us uninitiated. While it is largely coherent, A Minecraft Movie is all over the place. But no one in the audience is here for the plot. They’re either watching A Minecraft Movie for their love of the Minecraft world or because they love someone who loves it and isn’t old enough to drive themselves to the movie theater. As far as video game adaptations and children’s films go, A Minecraft Movie is so much better than it needs to be,” Mashable reviewer Kimber Myers writes.

    Check out the official trailer for a better glimpse into the world of Minecraft:

    Is A Minecraft Movie worth watching?

    We weren’t expecting A Minecraft Movie to win awards or anything — it’s a kids’ movie about a video game mostly unbeknownst to adults. So, the 48 percent critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes is hardly a shock. But audiences, kids and kid-at-heart adults, are largely loving it. It currently holds an 86 percent audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

    A Minecraft Movie is also the box office champion of 2025 thus far — and by a considerable amount. The video game adaptation tops the list of highest-grossing movies of the year at $410 million domestically and $911 million worldwide.

    “It’s fun and funny, fully engaged with the spirit of the game, in which creativity and imagination rule. It doesn’t feel like it’s pandering to kids, but, as evidenced by the giggles at my screening, they were enjoying it,” Mashable’s reviewer writes.

    How to watch A Minecraft Movie at home


    Credit: Warner Bros. Pictures

    There are a couple of different ways to watch A Minecraft Movie at home currently: purchasing via digital video-on-demand or renting via digital video-on-demand. It will eventually be streaming as well, offering a third option.

    Buy or rent A Minecraft Movie on digital

    A Minecraft Movie made its theatrical debut on April 4, 2025, then became available to watch at home a little over a month later via digital video-on-demand platforms like Prime Video and Apple TV. You can purchase the film for your digital collection or rent it for 30 days for $24.99 or $19.99, respectively. If you choose to rent, just take note that you’ll have 30 days to watch, but just 48 hours to finish once you begin.

    You can purchase and rent the film at the following retailers:

    Stream A Minecraft Movie on Max

    As a Warner Bros. Pictures film, we expect A Minecraft Movie to make its streaming debut on Max (soon to be called HBO Max once again) — the Warner Bros.-owned streaming service. However, there is no official streaming date yet. Based on the digital-to-streaming trajectory of other recent theatrical hits from Warner Bros. like Companion, Mickey 17, and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, we expect that A Minecraft Movie will make its streaming debut sometime between late June and early July.

    Max subscriptions start at $9.99 per month, but there are a few different ways to save some money on your plan. Peep the best Max streaming deals below.

    The best HBO Max streaming deals

    Best for most people: Save 16% on Max Basic with ads annual subscription

    While the cheapest monthly Max subscription (Basic with ads) goes for $9.99, an annual subscription brings that cost down to just $8.33 per month. You’ll have to pay $99.99 up front for the year, but that will ultimately save you about 16% compared to a monthly plan.

    Mashable Deals

    Best Max deal with no ads: Save up to 16% on a Max Standard annual subscription

    You can also save 16% by committing to a yearly Max ad-free plan — now dubbed Max Standard and Max Premium. The standard tier costs either $16.99 per month or $169.99 per year (about $14.16 per month), while the Premium tier costs either $20.99 per month or $209.99 per year (about $17.50 per month).

    Note: Both tiers offer an ad-free viewing experience, but the Premium tier comes with 4K Ultra HD video quality, Dolby Atmos immersive audio, and the ability to download more offline content.

    Best Max deal for Cricket customers: Free Max with ads for customers on the $60/month unlimited plan

    Cricket customers with the $60 per month unlimited plan get HBO Max with ads for free. When logging into Max, select Cricket as your provider, then enter your credentials to log in. That’s it, y’all.

    Best Max deal for DoorDash users: Free Max with ads with DashPass annual plan

    Get Max for free in 2025 by signing up for DoorDash’s annual DashPass plan for $96 per year ($8 per month). A DashPass membership gets you $0 delivery fees and reduced service fees on eligible DoorDash orders all year long. You’ll just have to activate your Max subscription through your DoorDash account to get started. If you’d rather watch ad-free, you can choose to upgrade for a discounted rate as well.

    Best Max deal for students: Save 50% on Max with ads

    College students can enjoy the massive Max library for an entire year with ads for half price. Just verify your student status with UNiDAYS, retrieve the unique discount code, and watch the price drop from $9.99 to $4.99 per month.

    Best bundle deal: Get Max, Disney+, and Hulu for up to 38% off

    If you’re looking to consolidate your spending, the Disney+ bundle, which includes Disney+, Hulu, and Max, will only cost you $16.99 per month with ads. That lineup of streaming services with ads would usually run you $25.97 per month, so you’ll save about $9 monthly. If you’d rather go ad-free, it’ll cost you $29.99 per month as opposed to $48.97. That’s up to 38% in savings for access to all three streaming libraries.
