The video game with the cult-following among Gen Z and Alpha took over the box office this past spring. The blockbuster film adapted from the game, A Minecraft Movie, will be available to stream soon in households everywhere — provided you have the right streaming service. A Minecraft Movieis officially set to make its streaming debut on June 20 on Max. Sadly, we still don't have a date for the switchover from Max to HBO Max.
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 Minecraftor not.
Here's everything you need to know about how to watchA Minecraft Movieat home — and what your best options are to save money.
A Minecraft Moviefollows 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 Movieis all over the place. But no one in the audience is here for the plot. They’re either watching A Minecraft Moviefor 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 Movieis 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:
We weren't expecting A Minecraft Movieto 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 85 percent audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
A Minecraft Movieis 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.

The wait is over, Minecraftfans. As a Warner Bros. Pictures film, A Minecraft Moviewill officially make its streaming debut on Max (soon to be called HBO Max once again) — the Warner Bros.-owned streaming service on June 20. That's right on target with the typical theatrical-to-streaming trajectory for a Warner Bros. film.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
