Ugh, does anyone else smell that weird smell? Maybe it’s just me. Anyway, guess what? The Minecraft Movie is finally here to rent or buy right from your couch. Like, talk about convenience, right?
So, yeah, if you’re itching to watch it, you can snag a digital copy on Amazon for $24.99. Not exactly cheap, but hey, it’s that “home premiere” jazz. Pretty sure that’s just fancy talk for “give us more money.”
But hold up. Before you rush off, it’s digital only for the moment. Physical copies, including those shiny UHD Blu-rays, are playing hard to get until June 24. Why the wait? No idea.
Oh, and Americans get first dibs on this digital release. Meanwhile, over here in Europe, folks have to sit tight until May 19. Do you know how hard it is to explain to a kid that you goofed up the date? Yeah, been there.
Now, about the price… definitely steeper than your regular digital flicks. It’s all that “home premiere” thing again, which means paying more just to feel like it’s fresh from the big screen.
To call this movie a hit is putting it mildly. Like, it’s crushed all records this year, already raking in over $900 million. That number is wild. Critics may not dig it much, but people are loving it. It’s all over social media, too—memes galore. And the songs? Topped charts everywhere!
So, here’s my confession: I’m no Minecraft fan. But, being the dad of a fan, I watched it and… oh man, it was actually a blast! Now if only I could fast-forward these six days of “is it out yet?” déjà vu.
