PlotA meek former doorknob salesman named Steve, obsessed with building, once stumbled into an impossible realm: the Overworld, a blocky landscape where every rock, tree, and tool is made of cubes. In that world he found the Orb of Dominance and the Earth Crystal, artifacts that open portals between worlds; when he crossed into the hellish Nether he was captured by a gold-obsessed piglin ruler who punishes creativity. Back in the real world, the Orb and Crystal are hidden under a boy’s bed after Steve’s dog smuggles them through a closing portal. Years later, Garrett, a burned-out former gaming champion running a failing store, Henry, a bright and lonely kid who draws constantly, Henry’s caring older sister Natalie, and a pragmatic mobile-zoo owner named Dawn are unexpectedly drawn through that same portal into the Overworld.
Pulled together with the eccentric, larger-than-life crafter Steve, the five must learn the rules of a world that bends to imagination: harvesting, crafting, redstone mechanics, and the limits of armor and enchantments. They face territorial piglins, night predators, and the moral problem of an artifact that could dominate both realms; their quest is to master creation, protect a fragile new friends’ community, and find a way home. The story sets up challenges of courage, creativity, and redemption without revealing how any of their trials resolve.

Physical Media Reviews
Divisive but crowd-pleasing, the 4K UHD Dolby Vision transfer and Atmos track are stellar, though the extras are modest and the film itself middling.
