Barely two months after it originally hit movie theaters, "A Minecraft Movie" is already coming to streaming in various Steve-loving territories around the globe. Here's how you can watch "A Minecraft Movie" online and from anywhere with a VPN.
"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.

If you want to watch on TV, "A Minecraft Movie" debuts on HBO on Saturday, June 21 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
Watch 'A Minecraft Movie' from anywhere in the world
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.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're overseas and want to view a U.S. service, you'd select a U.S. server from the location list.

Can I watch 'A Minecraft Movie' in the U.K?
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.
