This is a well acted, well set and very well acclamatized and extremely authenticly made production on the infancy of the digital gaming era, the cast makes this story very fun to follow, even for me the grumpy old man that grew up a generation before all this happened, when the electric typewriter and electronic greenglowing calculator was the top of the hype.
So if yore interested in the story behind digital stuff and all the serindipitous ways destiny may cross to make you a happy gamer, then this film is a recommend. Its funded by apple but who cares when the film is good.
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'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!

- QuizBeing a non-gamer, then Nintendo President Hiroshi Yamauchi would give the game to his superstar programmer Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of their most popular franchises Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda, to see what he thought. Several days later, Miyamoto confirmed to Yamauchi that it was a great game and when Yamauchi asked why, Miyamoto responded "Because even your secretaries and accountants are playing it!"
- BlooperWhen reading the fax number of ELORG in Moscow Henk mentions the dialing code of Moscow as "495", which is the current code. In the soviet times until Russia 2005 it was "095".

Alexey Pajitnov: Good ideas have no borders.
- Curiosità sui creditiA short video is playing about halfway through the credits. It seems to be actual footage of Henk and Alexey in Moscow.
