Tetris

Tetris suffers from inserting movie bullshit to hype up the action, making it challenging to distinguish between reality and fiction. The film's creators seem insecure about the real story's appeal, resulting in a climax so absurd it insults the audience's intelligence. The truth is more than enough, and the movie should have trusted the real events to tell an engaging story.

I use to play Tetris a lot on the toilet, you'll never guess where I'm writing this. Fun breezy movie. Another 2023 movie going all out with I Need a Hero.

A great deal of it is obviously nonsense to make things more digestible for an audience (Howard Lincoln in a car chase in Moscow lmao ok), but underneath that is a reasonably fun little boardroom thriller about the wheeling and dealing behind software rights. Definitely a lot of Social Network DNA (even the score feels inspired by Reznor’s in that film)… albeit without the perhaps most key detail of Sorkin’s scripting. But fairly basic dialogue aside the story is still engaging.

Lowkey camp masterpiece.

Pretty fun movie about the history of Tetris. Definitely feels like an exaggerated movie version of whatever may have happened in real life, but that's okay.
