How to watch 'A Minecraft Movie' online and from anywhere
"A Minecraft Movie" gets its U.S. streaming premiere on Friday, June 20.• U.S. — HBO/Max on Prime Video• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN risk-free
When "Minecraft" first hit video game screens in 2011, the developers could hardly have imagined it would develop into a transcendent cultural phenomenon that would bridge generations. And, after the financial success of recent "Sonic the Hedgehog" and "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" adaptations, it was only a matter of time that its blocky stylings would transition from the small to big screen.
Jason Mamoa ("Aquaman") and Jack Black ("School of Rock") are the stars of the show, with the latter taking on the role of familiar default avatar Steve. Together they must lead a team in the Overland to conquer the evils of the Nether — not to mention the occasional brush with a chicken jockey!
Video game behemoth turned box office hit, "A Minecraft Movie" is set to be a streaming success as solid as a diamond pickaxe. Read on to discover how you can watch "A Minecraft Movie" online with all the streaming details you need below.
"A Minecraft Movie" gets its U.S. streaming premiere on Friday, June 20, when it will hit HBO's online Max platform. Max prices start at $9.99/month.
You can also subscribe to Max via Amazon Prime Video. The Max add-on costs $9.99/month after a 7-day free trial, on top of your Prime membership ($14.99/month after a 30-day free trial).
Traveling outside the States? You'll need to use a VPN to unblock Max when abroad.
If you want to watch on TV, "A Minecraft Movie" debuts on HBO on Saturday, June 21 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
If you're traveling overseas and "A Minecraft Movie" isn't streaming where you're currently located, that doesn't mean you have to miss the movie while you're away from home. With the right VPN (virtual private network), you can stream "A Minecraft Movie" from wherever you are.
We've evaluated many options, and the best VPN you can get right now is NordVPN. It meets the VPN needs of the vast majority of users, offering outstanding compatibility with most devices and impressive connection speeds.

Outside Canada right now? Use one of the best VPNs to log in back home to use Crave as usual. Our favorite is NordVPN.
The Max streaming platform still isn't due to come to the U.K. until 2026,. The knock-on effect is that "A Minecraft Movie" hasn't yet got a streaming platform in the country.
It means those on vacation to the U.K. from somewhere that "A Minecraft Movie" is streaming will need a good streaming VPN to log in back home to use their domestic platform as they will be geo-blocked when not at home.
Alternatively, several of the usual VOD platforms (e.g. Amazon Prime, Sky Store, Apple TV, etc) have "A Minecraft Movie" available to rent or buy from £16.99.
Aussies will be able to watch "A Minecraft Movie" exclusively on the recently launched Max streaming service Down Under. We're expecting it to become available on the same day as it does in the U.S. — Friday, June 20.
The Max price in Australia costs from $11.99/month, with pricier options available to add extra devices, enable downloadable content and upgrade to 4K and Dolby Atmos.
Note that if you're an existing Foxtel subscriber, you get online access to the Max Basic with Ads plan for free.
The official Warner Bros. "A Minecraft Movie" trailer dropped on February 27. You can watch it below:

Is 'The Gilded Age' Season 3 ending this week? See episode schedule
Spoiler alert: This story includes details from episodes of Season 3 of "The Gilded Age." In the aftermath of the wedding of the century between Gladys Russell (Taissa Farmiga) and the Duke of Buckingham (Ben Lamb), cracks are beginning to appear in the Russell household with George Russell (Morgan Spector) and his wife, Bertha (Carrie Coon), at dagger's end. Bertha is also livid when she finds out Larry Russell has proposed to Marian Brook (Louisa Jacobson), who she deems unworthy of trophy wife status. While the Russells, who stood "poised to take their place at the head of society," according to the season synopsis, are struggling with their own issues, including when a familiar face no one was expecting made a comeback. Maud Beaton, the woman who conned Oscar (Blake Ritson) out of his entire family fortune, was spotted at The Haymarket by Larry. She is now going by the name Dolly Trent. From "Downton Abbey" creator Julian Fellowes, "The Gilded Age" follows high society and the battle between "old money" and "new money" in 1800s New York. "Bertha sets her sights on a prize that would elevate the family to unimaginable heights while George risks everything on a gambit that could revolutionize the railroad industry — if it doesn't ruin him first," the synopsis says, adding that "across the street, the Brook household is thrown into chaos as Agnes refuses to accept Ada's new position as lady of the house." "As all of New York hastens toward the future, their ambition may come at the cost of what they truly hold dear," it concludes. The lavish period drama returned for its third season on June 22 to record-high viewership. About 2.7 million U.S. viewers tuned in across platforms within the first three days of the season premiere, HBO said.

This true-to-life comedy is how I fight off the Sunday Scaries — and you can stream it on Max
Some Sunday night HBO shows ramp up the tension — we're thinking post-apocalyptic thrillers like "The Last of Us," power-struggle satires like "Succession" and dragon-filled dramas like "Game of Thrones." But where those HBO series get your adrenaline pumping and your anxiety swelling, there's one dramedy in the network's elite Sunday night club that instead brings a sense of calm and community to your binge-watching habits: "Somebody Somewhere." Led by a hilarious and heartfelt Bridget Everett, the superb HBO comedy-drama recently capped off its third and final season in December 2024, a tender and acclaimed run that saw each season receive a perfect 100% approval rating from critics (per Rotten Tomatoes). Along the way, "Somebody Somewhere" had viewers falling for Everett's Sam Miller and her family — both chosen and otherwise — of Joel (Jeff Hiller), Tricia (Mary Catherine Garrison) and Fred Rococo (Murray Hill). Even a half hour spent with this plucky crew out in Manhattan, Kansas, singing karaoke and joking around over French toast, will have you forgetting all about the morning meeting that's to come tomorrow. Here's why you should add "Somebody Somewhere" to your Sunday Scaries watch list. "Somebody Somewhere" centers on fortysomething Sam Miller (played by an Emmy-worthy Bridget Everett), "a true Kansan on the surface, but, beneath it all, struggling to fit the hometown mold," reads the official series logline, per HBO. As she returns to small-town Manhattan, KS, Sam grapples with loss and acceptance in the wake of the death of her sister, Holly. That is, until she finds solace in singing, which opens her up to "a community of outsiders who don't fit in but don't give us, showing that finding your people, and finding your voice, is possible. Anywhere. Somewhere.' Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Along with Everett, the Peabody Award-winning comedy stars Jeff Hiller, Mary Catherine Garrison, Tim Bagley, Murray Hill, Jennifer Mudge, Mercedes White, Meighan Gerachis and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson. Altogether, those lovable misfits explore life's beautiful and ugly moments with excess humor, refreshing honesty and plenty of hope. The HBO comedy — which recently nabbed two Emmy nominations for Jeff Hiller's sweet, soulful supporting role as Sam's BFF Joel as well as for Everett, Hannah Bos and Paul Thureen's writing — was widely praised by critics throughout its three-season run for its tenderness, grace and warmth. (It aired on HBO from January 2022 to December 2024.) "'Somebody Somewhere' captures the bittersweet beauty of life in all its minutiae, never forgetting to laugh in the face of adversity," reads the critical consensus for the show's sophomore season, per Rotten Tomatoes. Coleman Spilde of The Daily Beast called the gorgeous drama "one of the decade's finest, thanks to its delightful ensemble cast and a knack for fleshing out life's minutiae, with gravity and irreverence in equal measure." "Somebody Somewhere" isn't like any show, anywhere — it's an engrossing and exceedingly special watch that will both reaffirm your humanity and transport viewers to somewhere a little kinder, a little funnier and a little gentler than your everyday. It's just what you need when you have a busy, stressful Monday morning looming in your near future. Watch "Somebody Somewhere" on Max

3 Prime Video action movies you (probably) haven't seen
Want to get your adrenaline fix without watching the same old shootouts and car chases? Prime Video's action movies section runs deep, but digging past the obvious picks can take time. There's a whole world of high-stakes thrillers, gritty brawlers, and stylish genre-benders just waiting to be discovered. And plenty of them are hiding right in plain sight. Some have big names attached, and others are cult favorites you might have missed. But all of them bring the heat. If you're in the mood for something fast, fierce, and just a little off the beaten path, here are three of the best action movies on Prime Video you probably haven't seen yet. Based on Irvine Welsh's novel and starring a gloriously unhinged James McAvoy, "Filth" follows a corrupt, coke-snorting Edinburgh cop named Bruce Robertson who's less interested in solving a murder case than in manipulating his coworkers, terrorizing suspects, and indulging every vile impulse he has. So yes, there's plenty of filth to be had here. But beneath the sleaze and chaos, this action flick is something much darker, sadder, and smarter. As Bruce's mental state deteriorates, the film shifts from grotesque black comedy to a shocking look at self-destruction, guilt, and mental illness wrapped up in the dressings of an action trip. It's wildly unpredictable and sometimes unpalatable, and if you can stomach the ride, it's one hell of a performance from McAvoy. Watch "FIlth" on Prime Video now Dev Patel directs and stars in this brutal, blood-soaked revenge thriller that blends the rage of "John Wick" with the raw desperation of "Oldboy," all set against the neon-lit underbelly of a corrupt Mumbai. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Patel plays an unnamed street fighter scraping by in underground cage matches while nursing some barely contained rage at a stolen childhood and a society that crushed him. But when he finally snaps, his violence comes fast and furious, messy and deeply personal. This decadent action thriller pits one broken man against a system that feeds on the powerless, and fortunately, we're the ones who win since we get a front row seat. Watch "Monkey Man" on Prime Video now Nicolas Cage and Nicole Kidman play a wealthy couple whose lavish home and strained relationship are both put to the test when a group of armed intruders storms in, demanding money and secrets they're not ready to give up. Yep, it's almost like your typical '90s thriller. What starts as a standard home invasion story quickly spirals into something more volatile, thanks to Cage's fast-talking energy and Kidman's typical magneticism. And if you're thinking about it being unhinged, as is the usual when it comes to Cage, you won't be disappointed. Watch "Trespass" on Prime Video now
