Just watched AppleTV’s “Tetris”. Before watching I noticed it had got pretty mixed reactions, seemed to be a pretty Marmite film judging by the reviews.
Personally, I absolutely frickin’ loved it. Probably helped that I grew up with the game and Game Boy as a kid in the late 80’s, and being a massive nerd who loves gaming history who was pretty familiar with the actual IRL history.
It really hit me in the nostalgia feels and had a great soundtrack. Thought it was very well cast with good acting, with a good blend of comedy and more serious aspects, and although obviously heavily dramatised in parts, it kept very loyal to the key real life events.
As far as biopics go, it was one of the best I’ve seen.
Also recommend watching The Gaming Historians YT documentary on the story as an after watch.
