A glimpse of 'Tetris'

The official synopsis of 'Tetris', according to 'Tetris' reads, "'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." The puzzles are placed in the right places and the Apple Tv+ has just released an intriguing movie trailer for 'Tetris'. 

And ever since the trailer was released, not only the fans of the beloved game but the official Tetris page has expressed their love for the film by commenting with a heart emoji. The modern classic game 'Among Us' also chimed in with their support for the movie and commented, "omg amazing game fr, this is gonna be good". 

'This looks like a def watch'

Fans of the game are delighted over 'Tetris' trailer and are expressing their excitement for it. One fan commented, "This looks like a def watch." Another fan added to the excitement by saying, "I’ve joked about a Tetris movie for years. To see it being dramatic r-rated and watchable is not what I expected." Another fan added, "wow! I read about this on the book "Game Over," and yea, the story's really good." One fan reminisced on their memory of the Tetris game and said, "Oh wow! I did no expect this at all. Looks fantastic. I was addicted to Tetris on Gameboy in the mid 90s and I was VERY good at it, I'd play Game B option on the highest level. I still have my original working Gameboy and Tetris game."

'This actually looks pretty interesting'

One fan expressed their interest in the film and added, "Who knew the story of Tetris could be interesting, I’m in." While another added, "Didn't have a Bourne-style action thriller about Tetris on my 2023 Bingo Card, but here we are." Yet another fan added, "This actually looks pretty interesting." Holding their excitement, one fan added, "I can't wait. The story behind Tetris is so wild."

'Tetris' is set to premiere exclusively on Apple TV+ on March 31, 2023.
