I don’t know critics’ reviews on this film, but Tetris is easily one of the best films I’ve seen in a while.
I honestly didn’t expect it to be this fun, engaging, entertaining, and more intense than most American-Russia spy wars movies out there.
Because for real, with this one you just don’t know what’s coming next. I mean of course we know Tetris would eventually come out, but you just can’t guess what’s in between.
And of course some really great performances by the cast.
Just finished watching the new Tetris movie on Apple TV and oh my god it’s SO good! For those that don’t know it’s about how the game was brought to the rest of the world from the USSR and it’s set in the late eighties. It reminded me of a lot of the things I love about Stranger Things so if you’re an ST fan I highly recommend it!
Taron Egerton plays the protagonist Henk Rogers and he’s fantastic as always! The rest of the cast is phenomenal too! It’s got a really well rounded cast. The film is very action packed but also filled with sentimental moments. The soundtrack is excellent! I’ve been streaming it ever since. Nikita Efremov who I’d never seen before plays Alexey Pajitnov, the creator of Tetris, and does a fantastic job. I also really loved Toby Jones performance as game licenser Robert Stein.
In a nutshell, the film is about the insane true story of how Rogers, an American video game salesman, discovered Tetris by chance in the late eighties and then set out to bring the game to the rest of the world. But since the game was created by Pajitnov, a Russian computer programmer, in his spare time, getting the game to the rest of the world is no easy feat. And all too soon Rogers finds himself entangled in the dangerous web of lies and corruption behind the Iron Curtain.
It’s one of those movies where you just don’t know what’s going to happen next in the best way. It’s super fun and you’ll never see those little cute blocks in the same way again. Until next time!
Good day gamers. Do you remember Tetris? I remember getting my first Gameboy and it came standard with the handheld and yea, it is as addicting then as it is now. The popularity of this tower puzzle game swoops the world. There was a book that came out on the history of video games where they touched base on the story of how Tetris came about and it was deep. The Russian Nation against one guy…
- Here. Sign this.
- An NDA? Why?
- Because only ten other people in the world have seen what you're about to see, and to be honest, we don't trust you.
in my opinion taron can pull it off. Like this man looks like a father just give him a beer and put him behind a grill and dad jokes will flow out naturally
despite cinema trying again and again, they truly will never be able to replicate whatever heartbreaking gayass je ne sais quoi the social network (2010) had
Since I haven’t been posting art lately, I’ll share one of the projects I worked on! Here’s an activity where we had to reinterpret a popular movie poster. I submitted it one minute late, pray for me.
(Left is the original; Right is the reinterpretation).
-How'd you know where to find us?
-It was easy. I thought, "What would I never do?'"
Henk's look of amusement and gratitude, with "that's my guy" written all over his face, and Alexey's answering smile.
Their smiles are identical. They're not just looking at each other. They're looking in the same direction.
