Review of Minecraft: Diamonds Are Forever (Short film)

'Minecraft: Diamonds are forever' is a 2012 short film by Corridor Digital and Mars Rising, based on the very poplar computer game Minecraft. The story revolves around to guys, who own a melon farm, one of them wakes up to find him stuff has gone missing, meaning that he has died and it has been left there. The two travel to claim back the gear only to find themselves surrounded by zombies (at least I think they're zombies) and discover a dark tower, which is unleashing energy that is laying waste to the land. They must save the melon farm!

The film is really well done, although the cardboard cube costumes look really cheesy, that adds to the charm of Minecraft itself. The music is also quite good and the effects aren't half bad either. Apparently there are more of these films so I may well be reviewing more of them in the future. It's really funny, and gives us some cool shooting and slicing action, with a gripping heroic ending act with a humorous reference back to Minecraft at the end (like it needed another one).

I'm going to give 'Minecraft: Diamonds Are Forever' a 7.5/10.
