FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://insessionfilm.com/movie-review-tetris/ "Tetris offers a fun, informative true story about one of the most popular videogames of all time. Filled with delightfully pixelated transitions and just the right amount of humor, as well as the game's iconic music, it's a film that makes its two hours go by in no time. It may not feature the most innovative storytelling in the subgenre, n…

Despite some old-school “America is good, Russia is bad” propaganda, which felt a little dated, the story remained engaging. However, the end of the film got a bit out there, and the car chase sequence fe…

This starts off as quite a fun look at just how "Tetris" made it's way from being a cheap and cheerful game played in the Soviet Union into a handheld game selling and making millions across the globe. It seems it was all spotted by opportunist "Stein" (Toby Jones) who managed to get it to a games exhibition where it was then picked up by the tenacious "Hank" (an adequate Taron Egerton) who determines to make his for…
