Tetris

"It's the story behind the beginning of the game, Tetris. As someone who played this game a lot back in the day, it still didn't hold my interest. 𝤷😕"

"I have an undeserved, totally unexplainable and unjustified dislike for Taron Egerton. I know absolutely nothing about him, seems like a good enough actor. I just don’t like watching him. It’s stupid, I know. "

"You never think about the origin of things like how Tetris ended up on the Game Boy, believing it was probably born in a corporate basement and mangled by executives into existence. It's a wildly fascinating story."

"Based on real events, Henk Rogers (Taron Egerton) was the opportunist and idealistic businessman who risked everything to bring Tetris to the masses. Joining forces with inventor of the game, Alexey Pajitnov (Nikita Efremov), the pair find themselves in a dark, maze like world that pits communism against capitalism, involving Japan, the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Kingdom, all fighting for the rights for this soon to be triumphant game There is so much more to this than meets the eye. I never knew so much went into getting this game established. Rather than a by the numbers biopic about the man who discovered a game that went on to obtain global popularity, what transpires is an incredibly political thriller that pits nations against one another, with Tetris in the middle of it all. By the latter stages, the constant back and forth, contract disputes, and loopholes, do grow a little tedious,  but Egerton keeps the story watchable, playing Rogers with a satisfying blend of wide-eyed idealism and a beat-up worn-out demeanor. Credit must also go to director Jon S. Baird who adds some creative touches that carry the film when the narrative wanes. This includes the use of 8-bit graphics from the game and a nostalgic soundtrack reflective of the era. Using Type A the theme song from Tetris as the score was perfect. I remember having Tetris on the computer,my Nintendo,and gameboy. This was the only video game I’ve ever witnessed my father actually play so this did cause me to get a little emotional ❤️ The memory of him sitting there playing my gameboy is forever ingrained in my mind.(RIP Dad) TBH Tetris might be the best game ever invented from a legacy standpoint. I grew up as a gamer having every system because my father never let me miss out. From Nintendo to PS5 I’ve had them all. The film isn’t as perfect as the video game but it will definitely suffice."

"The story is interesting but I still had a hard time staying interested with this one"

"Very well-done movie on the true story of Tetris the video game. Please note as well though, it shouldn't be forgotten by anyone who is a movie watcher, that Robert Maxwell, who was one of the main people is the father of Ghislaine Maxwell, the person who was working with Globalist pedophile Jeffery Epstein. Many media outlets stated her as Epstein's girlfriend, which is actually false."

"Surprisingly fun little russian spy thriller. 𝨂 I suspect they took some dramatic liberties. 😂 7 out of 10"

"An intriguing look into the measures taken to bring this popular game to the masses. I had no idea regarding the story ,drama, paranoia, and danger involved with Tetris’ pairing with Nintendo. I was also won over by the heart of the story which illustrates an authentic connection between two people of vastly different social backgrounds and influences when a common passion for gaming and expressive freedom flourishes. I highly recommend this movie especially if you were caught up in the Tetris frenzy like I was during that time. Well acted with plenty of nostalgia to go around. #julietspicks #shaluspicks #whattowatch #appletv #tetris "

"What a fun movie for the 80s games lovers and also for those who love political history . It makes you very grateful to live in the US."

"Really good"
