Tetris Reviews

Overall Tetris has a few glitches in its presentation, yet its unique approach to its subject matter and ambitious craft is to be commended.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 17, 2024

Sometimes a good story is a good story, even if it’s not entirely true. In this case, looking past what the film itself calls American Sentimentalism, you’ll find not just a good story, but a great film about a perfect game. Even if it is embellished.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 3, 2024

While his moustache might need some getting used to, Taron Egerton is reliable in this chaotic cold-war thriller and you can count on him to keep you hooked.

...compelling subject matter that’s increasingly employed to underwhelming and tedious effect...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 23, 2024

As a thriller it’s sub-par, but as a film about the iconic pop culture sensation that is “Tetris,” it just downright stinks.

| Sep 6, 2023

At times it can get a bit lost with all the behind the scenes machinations, licensing, contracts or whatever, but this is a fun movie.

| Original Score: 8.5/10 | Aug 10, 2023

"Tetris" is a lesson in the ultimate corporate espionage exercise and deals with themes of capitalism vs. communism. The events depicted loom large for today's audience, as we are constantly bombarded with Russia's dominance some 35 years later.

Tetris offers a fun, informative true story about one of the most popular video games of all time. Filled with delightfully pixelated transitions and just the right amount of humor, as well as the game’s iconic music, the two hours go by in no time.

| Original Score: B | Jul 21, 2023

Tetris is a fascinating, constantly fun film that makes the most of its subject matter to position it as a Cold War Thriller with plenty of enjoyable visuals. It’s full of suspense, and the performances help give it an edge.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 19, 2023

There is a genuine sense of danger and urgency that is missing from this effort in a manner to try and humorize the story into a forgettable farce rather than a true Cold war thriller.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 5, 2023

Even though my best friend got a Game Boy in 1990 with Tetris in the box, I was on the edge of my seat to see how the deal would close.

| Jun 22, 2023

Tetris is a movie about CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS and it’s incredibly entertaining.

| Jun 3, 2023

It might be a wee bit too cutesy for its own good, but it’s also a stunning testament to just picking a good story not a lot of people know about and telling it seriously with a imaginative director, a rocksteady script and reliable actors.

| May 20, 2023

In this lively retelling of the Tetris game origin story, the 'race against time' plot developments are obviously exaggerated for the movie. However, the double dealings and business backstabbings ring true, in addition to navigating cultural differences.

Drama, Intrigue, Politics and Financial Greed makes Tetris a memorable film from start to finish! Who know a video game would've caused such global tension

| May 1, 2023

Taron Egerton is delightfully sympathetic as the tenacious Henk Rogers... But the star of the show has to be Roger Allam in a possibly career-best performance as Robert Maxwell.

| Apr 27, 2023

The drawn-from-life drama Tetris is a bit like the video game it’s named after: slow to start but, once it warms up, a bit addictive.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 15, 2023

Tetris spins an amusing yet ephemeral tale in its Hollywoodization of real-world history.

| Apr 14, 2023

Egerton leads the line energetically, and Allam is satisfyingly odious as Maxwell, the mogul with feet of clay.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 13, 2023

With all the many biopics these days, Tetris will likely become another forgotten one amongst them, thanks to its unfocused and exhaustive narrative.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Apr 13, 2023
