Review by zumo-16908

It started out fine, but then got worse and worse as it progressed, all the way down to a point where I just wished it was over and started fast forwarding. As some reviewers have pointed out, the movie is historically quite inaccurate, but truth to be told that is the least of the problems and is soon forgotten. All characters are stereotypical one-dimensional caricatures, who's exaggerated voices and grotesque overacting almost reaches YouTuber "reaction" levels - for almost two hours straight. It is so awkwardly goofy that you kind of wonder if they actually tried to make a comedy film but forgot to include the jokes and the funny parts... or perhaps forgot to remove some of all the profanity and violence in order to market it for children. Both alternatives would have made this film better. The subject of the film with its bureaucratic contracts, soviet union, and a boomer gaming suits an adult audience, but the silly script and acting would fit way better in a children's movie. Beyond me how anyone "allowed" to watch R-rated films could enjoy this.

And at first I did wonder why there were so many oddly positive 9 and 10 star reviews of this. How could anyone express such uncritical and extreme joy over something so blatantly bad? Until I remembered that most viewers are probably fanboys who paid for Apple TV.

I give it two stars instead of one, in order to reflect the happiness I felt when the film was over.

Tetris is a good game, not a good movie.
