Tetris
WHY
For its new film, Apple is collaborating with Matthew Vaughn (Kingsman: The Secret Service) on the production seat and offers us to discover the tumultuous origins of the popular video game Tetris. Led by an absolutely perfect Taron Egerton, the film follows how the various players wanted to buy the rights to the video game in the middle of the Cold War. And that will be another war between an independent buyer and a powerful and controversial millionaire. The story is really interesting to follow as well as the many characters that we will meet as well as the various locations all around the world. The humour is well present but there is always some form of tension, especially in the sequences in Russia and when some KGB agents are coming. The soundtrack takes us back to the 80s and offers various remix of the really popular music them of the game. We don’t see the time passing at all. Be sure to watch this excellent movie!
WHAT
“Tetris” tells the unbelievable story of how one of the world’s most popular video games found its way to avid players around the globe. Henk Rogers (Taron Egerton) discovers TETRIS in 1988, and then risks everything by traveling to the Soviet Union, where he joins forces with inventor Alexey Pajitnov (Nikita Efremov) to bring the game to the masses. Based on a true story, “Tetris” is a Cold War–era thriller on steroids, with double-crossing villains, unlikely heroes and a nail-biting race to the finish.
