I thought it was pretty good actually.

lol, the voice acting

wow, nice!!!

The part of Michael needs to be played by Michael Jones from RoosterTeeth.

Looks sick!

Me Like!!!

was ok like people said the voice acting was a bit funny at times but not a bad start i will watch.

Voice acting needs some work. Other than that, it looks decent.

The stationary ships annoys me.

The crappiness of this makes me cringe.

Same. Good effort, but absolutely terrible script and shoehorned special effects.

Eh, not very good. The voice acting was pretty bad, the effects were terrible, overall I'd rate this a 3/10. Really, if they are even going to attempt to make something as complex as this, why don't they just animate the whole thing? Yes, it does take a lot of hard work and effort to make an animated Minecraft movie, but it is no harder than what they are currently doing.

Not really, and if they were to animate it, why even bother making it Minecraft based? I thought it was pretty good, given the natural limitations of in-game filming, and IMO the voice acting was pretty good too.

the buildings and ships were epic, the voices were horrific, the editing was good, the story seem cool.. In my opinion 7/10.

You know, overdone optimism can be just as harmful as harsh criticism to a filmmaker. I think we can all agree that the lines were lackluster and the people voicing them didn't help much, either. I don't think he used animation software, either, just some basic After Effects touching up.

I like the premise, but the execution could have been so much better.

The biggest thing would be to make a better script. Avoid stuff like "WHY WON'T YOU DIE" "I WILL LITERALLY *unnecessary pause* FIGHT YOU TILL MY LAST BREATH" it's grossly cliched, and judging from the sample the maker can't pull it off well. A better option, if having the antagonist call the hero up on Skype and ask him why the f**k he refuses to just accept his fate is absolutely imperative, would be to have a conversation between the two, be it a logical one or just the villain taunting without giving the protagonist a chance to respond. Have some subtlety.

The other thing I feel I need to complain about is the names and the story. Really, some unknown alien attacks a ship? 'Reapers' at that. Where have I heard this tale before? While it's impossible to make everything completely original given how many years humanity has spent telling stories, a creative plot can bolster any film's appeal (Inception, for instance).

Ignore the haters. I like it. More please.

guys remember this is the first trailer, so don't expect it to be the same quality as minecraft style or something, especially if its made in-game,so for the first trailer its very nice i hope it gets better every week!
