Tetris

This drama will very likely make you experience the "Tetris Effect": such a fun and mind-blowing story, with just enough of Hollywood made-up thrill to make it even more fun but, according to the articles this reviewer has read, otherwise very close to real-life events from the 90s.

The cinematography is very pleasant, the pixelized plane taking the audience to round-the-world trips is cute, and for a child of that Nintendo/SEGA generation, the unveiling of the GameBoy was quite sublime.

And of course, Taron Egerton is, as always, absolutely brilliant, so full of energy and, without a doubt, the best "Player 1" one could wish for.

Wow, I can't believe how much I enjoyed the new Tetris movie. Who knew that a movie about licensing a video game could be so emotionally engaging? I was hooked from start to finish.

The story was surprisingly compelling, without being too complicated or over the top. The focus on the journey of businessman Henk Rogers and the Tetris inventor, Alexey Pajitnov, was just the right balance of drama and fun. And the way they captured the excitement and anticipation of bringing the game to the world was thrilling.

The acting in this movie was top tier. Taron Egerton delivered an incredible performance as Rogers, and I was impressed by how he brought so much depth to his character. The chemistry between him and the rest of the cast was palpable and made the story even more enjoyable.

But let's talk about those plot twists, they were pretty good! I won't give anything away, but there were a few surprises that kept me on the edge of my seat. And the way they resolved the conflicts was satisfying and left me feeling content.

Overall, I highly recommend this movie to anyone who loves video games, underdog stories, or just wants a fun and engaging movie experience. The attention to detail in the pixelated graphics and the captivating story make it worth watching. So, if you're looking for a movie that will have you feeling all the emotions, go see "Tetris"!

*That Tetris was invented by a Russian.

That's it. Everything else is pretty much fiction. Then again, the true story was mainly a fairly complicated, protracted legal battle and wouldn't have made for a very exciting film. But an exciting film is what we have! It's well acted, the whole production is great, the story is gripping, but it's all fiction. Which is fine, but claiming it was "based on a true story" is... misleading, to put it nicely.

It's quite revealing to read all these glowing reviews praising the authenticity and what a wonderful historical edcuation these reviewers recieved upon viewing it, when even a cursory google search shows that the reality is almost entirely disconnected with the contents of this film.

Still, I have to give the film credit, it was a fun watch, a good story and VERY imaginative!

"Tetris" is the movie I didn't even know I needed.

A ridiculously entertaining (and probably at least partially ridiculously fabricated) "based on true events" story about the fight between a desperate American video game creator and Soviet Russia over the rights to what would become one of the most famous games of all time.

I wasn't sure I was going to like it at first, as it has a very jokey, self-aware tone, as does Taron Egerton's performance. But both won me over quickly, and not long into the movie I was all in. Egerton is a ball of charisma in the lead, and he's easy to root for. The movie gets a little silly at the end (a car chase to the airport, really?) and seems to be taking historical accuracy lessons from "Argo," but by the time the end came around I didn't care. I've been complaining recently that entertaining movies for adults are in short supply, so I'm not going to quibble when one comes along.

Grade: A.

I never knew this entire back story behind the success of Tetris. I was intrigued when I first saw the trailer and wonder if it could be any fun or good and I'm glad to say it's a pretty cool movie and I did enjoy it quite a ton. Taron Egerton did such a good job in the role and did some good acting and i think this movie was a pretty fun time and the whole story behind tetris. I think it was a pretty solid movie and now I want to play some tetris after watching this movie. This isn't groundbreaking but it's just a fun time in general which I think people should watch and I recommend to watch it.
