Synopsis

Minecraft: The Story of Mojang is a feature-length documentary that follows the young company over the course of its first year as their profile expanded across the world stage and into the homes of millions of gamers. Featuring insights from industry icons (Peter Molyneux, Tim Schafer), journalists (Geoff Keighley, Stephen Totilo), tastemakers (Gabe & Tycho of Penny Arcade), and players profoundly impacted by the game (Yogscast, The Shaft, Minecraft Teacher), the film serves as a time capsule for one of this generation's most unorthodox success stories. Minecraft: The Story of Mojang is the second feature from game culture archivists 2 Player Productions (Reformat the Planet, Penny Arcade: The Series - Season 1, Double Fine Adventure!). Funded through crowdsourcing site Kickstarter.com, the production spanned nearly two years in locations across North America and Europe.

Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
Smartdwarf This movie is a real and unique look at the development of one of the decades best computer games. Having played Minecraft for a year before the release date, I was thrilled that the movie followed the game development during this time. The movie flows along through the different stages of the games development and really shows that the staff are on their own journey and have no idea where they will end up. The interviews with the staff of Mojang were very insightful and informative. Also I especially enjoyed the interviews with the various gaming experts and developers especially Peter Molyneux who offered his own take on the development of computer gaming. This is not really a movie for someone who plays Solitaire, but I highly recommend it to anyone who plays or has an interest in computer games and their history.
Ali Foroughi A very good movie for a all technology lovers and certainly all of the Minecraft fans (such as myself) will enjoy this film.We get to learn about the Minecraft creators and their story and how they got here. did they really expect this amount of love and attraction around the game or not.one interesting point of this movie was Notch. I personally could not believe how humble and normal he was. as he said himself , he makes games of the sake of games and because it is what he enjoys doing.he decided to create 'Mojan'. because Minecraft was getting too big and a company to represent was needed. we see how that happens, and what people are hired to help expand the game.Notch was able to create a game in his spare time and went on and became one of the greatest and most popular games ever made. and the fact that people can't decide between Minecraft and super Mario shows that. I'd personally pick Minecraft.the movie shows how Minecraft takes a role in education. and how kids (and adults) can learn to create things using Minecraft. that was quite interesting for me because I was not aware that this was happening. we also get to see amazing maps and locations that has been created by users and feel all the love and excitement around the game. A great film if you are a Minecraft fan; or just a fan of being creative! 8/10
plugfixer This is a documentary on the company that made Minecraft which is Mojang. If you have never played Minecraft then this documentary will make you want to pretty badly. I for one have played Minecraft and it is by far one of the most funnest indie games i have ever played. This documentary gives you a outstanding look on what went on and how it was made. I in my own way could have add some things but in all this documentary said it all. Also if you are a gamer or Minecraft player you will enjoy this documentary at most because it goes behind how a small place can make such a big game and how some companies can get started for a slow or fast perspective.
woody-lad Just finished watching the film and all I can say was, inspirational. The film takes you on a journey from how the game first started and carries you through this parallel to the journey of notch, the creator of the gameIt shows how one single man built nothing short of an empire. It gives real inspiration to those who are indie game developers or anyone who has a dream. Even if you aren't a Minecraft fan I can't see you could walk away from this without feeling that little bit of inspiration. It shows how the games popularity increasing grew through the last year. Giving views of those from the public as well as those who have supported Minecraft. Game developers give their humble opinions and talk about how Minecraft has made them go on to view game design and development in a different way.It's great for those die hard Minecraft fans and a soon as I'd seen the credits roll all I wanted to do is log in and start playing. If you've never heard of Minecraft, this will make you want to at least try it, but even for a causal or non-gamer this inspiring and collective journey will leave a warm and fuzzy feeling inside. Nothing short of fantastic. 2PP has done a great job.
