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

Taron Egerton fits perfectly into story of the classic game’s origins.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 3, 2023

Director Jon S Baird harnesses the graphic style and plinky plonk music of 80s computer games to amusing effect.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 2, 2023

In movie terms, it all works, and Egerton and Efremov are wonderful.

| Apr 1, 2023

It settles down into an engagingly paranoid 8-bit variation on “Bridge of Spies"...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 1, 2023

Baird occasionally drops "Tetris" pieces or inserts animated 8-bit elements into the frame, because otherwise the movie is a lot of drab interiors and conversations about rights, contracts and business ethics. It's not enough...

| Original Score: C | Mar 31, 2023

Tetris isn’t a perfect movie, but for the purposes of justifying Apple 온라인카지노추천+’s investment, it stacks up just fine.

| Mar 31, 2023

It’s the definition of guilty pleasure.

| Mar 31, 2023

Tetris is best when it’s geeking out right in front of us... There’s no nostalgia quite as addictive, this proves, as the 8-bit kind.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 31, 2023

In the spirit of the game, fun in the moment, instantly forgettable.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 31, 2023

With nods to the early days of computer technology and just enough Cold War intrigue, Tetris succeeds in making even the most convicted luddites among us care about its subject.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 30, 2023

In the spirit of 1980s Americana, a high-five ending is assured and eventually everything slots neatly into place.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 30, 2023

Like its namesake, Jon S. Baird’s “Tetris” is clever, crafty and shockingly entertaining.

| Mar 30, 2023

It all begins irksomely, with lots of bluster and aren’t-we-smart industry jargon, but gradually finds its footing as a sort of diplomatic thriller with a shaggy sweetness at its heart.

| Mar 30, 2023

The disappointment of “Tetris” is not that it fails to reproduce the pleasures of an ingeniously simple, insanely addictive puzzle game. It’s more that the movie seems at a loss for how to play its own material.

| Mar 29, 2023

Tetris is rather irresistible from beginning to hopped-up end. It’s almost as fun to watch as it is to play the game.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 29, 2023

The movie’s focus on Henk’s point of view feels like a miscalculation.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 29, 2023

It doesn’t always work, and sometimes the film gets boxed in by its own conceit, but the story of how one of the world’s favorite games landed on a global stage is fun enough, and tense enough, that it’s still worth playing.

| Original Score: B | Mar 28, 2023

To some degree, Noah Pink’s screenplay deserves credit for taking an arcane business story and rendering it entertaining. But the story gets so extreme and unlikely in the movie’s last half hour that it becomes easy to separate fact from fiction.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 28, 2023

A needlessly complicated and ultimately rather boring epic whose narrative blocks don’t so much stack on top of each other neatly as they do crush, grind and crack until the whole structure topples.
