good movie but had a lot of unnecessary fluff (which you've pointed out in this vid). That chase while visually cool when it mixes pixel art and real life was just head scratching. Along w/ the spy stuff. It was kinda laughably, really. and the ending kinda felt like Rocky IV, except instead of ending the cold war, it was Tetris.
I've never watched the Tetris movie for the first time, last year I've watched Gaming Historian's Story of Tetris to know the history about the Cold War to the release of Gameboy to Atari and Judge Fern Smith
I will never watch this movie,because Henk Rogers was an Asian man, so was he played by a white actor? I will never watch movies that white wash real people.
I heard the script writing process for this movie was a nightmare. Every time they completed a line, it disappeared
that explains why some things are "wrong". They had to move them over and in doing so, created gaps to avoid completing a line. 😆
Haha, I get it.
That's a good one. You get a thumbs up from me.
@@Watcher3223 thanks my friend
Cleaver Joshua 👏👏🤭
Humor is the most attractive quality in us humans 😊 👏👏
The fact that Hank got Alexey's game popular around the world, and still gave him his share of the money/profits/royalties from it. Proved he trusted him since the moment they met. Even helping Alexey & his family come to live in America, thats friendship. Not only that, they founded the company of Tetris and to this day they still run it, along with Hanks daughter. That's what I call family. Like the old saying, "good friends are hard to come by," especially those that we trust and consider family.
@@VuotoPneumaNN elaborate pls
Saw this film last night and enjoyed it. Taron Egerton was brilliant as Henk Rogers.
He might have been good but the real person was not white he was of Indonesian descent and Asian, so they whitewashed a real person, which is disgusting in 2022.
I’m just glad that a Tetris movie is being made, and it’s not a shitty action movie where the blocks just fall from the sky.
Pixels 😂
The thing that really shocked me was the actor portraying Yamauchi, they look scarily the same
The movie was a ton of fun. Even with the parts you know can't be true it was still a blast to watch
I really enjoyed it as well, but yeah some of it had to be wrong or dude had balls of steel
I mostly agree. One made up event annoyed me greatly though: the scene where the Russian embassy agents in Japan threaten the wife and (implicitly) their daughters. Such a juvenile and unnecessary addition; the implausibility of them acting this way in a non-aligned country took me out of the film.
Other details diminished the movie somewhat too, such as the in your face KGB agent bribery subplot. I would have preferred a more subtle approach, but I get that the film was also made for youngsters who may not have a grasp about how things worked in the Soviet Union during this time period.
I'm all for pixelated, impossible car chases however as they don't pretend to be truthful to real life events, just fun. Or for combining events that happened separately in one scene or combining several characters into one; that's necessary for an efficient narrative and we all understand the language of cinema. All in all, a very enjoyable movie anyway.
@@Basauri48970
Not to mention their awful English!
@jonny_laguna
Well because they are the embassy staff, no? Or you're thinking only the diplomats from the West could boast their language skills? Talking about ignorance 🤧
@@OmarLivesUnderSpaceussr is ignorance based on this movie so i don't think they humble enough to increase their English skill, i know it's not real anyway.
Someone I know actually worked with the Maxwells and they said that they were portrayed perfectly.
lol, Kevin Maxwell himself said they still portrayed his Father to easy 😂
@@TheMarslMcFly lol
And there's a certain Maxwell daughter that was rather infamously associated with Epstein... anything to clear those debts, I guess.
Little fact, the Commodore 64 version of Tetris had a 25 minute soundtrack by Wally Beben who was a friend of mine. I heard that soundtrack before the thousands who played the game and almost cried, beautiful evocative piece. I also met Alexei Pajitnov at the Computer games show in London in 1987 at the Mirrorsoft stand, very intelligent man. LOVE Tetris.

The movie is surprisingly good; and the trailer sells it really well. Definitely worth a watch.
Tetris IS currently, and very well be...the Greatest video game ever made.
During my childhood in the early 90s, I used to hang at my local supermarket's video game section and occasionally got to demo Tetris on Famicom. That was my first actual video game experience. I absolutely love it! I never got to experience it on a Game Boy but later in the mid 90s, I got this bootleg handheld device called 'Brick Game'. Ah, those were the days.
I just finished the movie a while ago and it's one of the best movies I've ever watched in my life. And I can't get over Sofia Lebedeva, the actress who played Sasha. Absolute gorgeous!
if anyone still got that old school monochrome og gameboy with tetris game. keep it. dont sell it. its a piece of history
So in short: The movie is accurate appart from the KGBs involement. The rest did happen
The car chase scene was a guilty pleasure lol Its sooo good including the animated analogy to early gaming graphics of the 80s
Not only did the car chase not happen in real life, it didn't even happen on set. It's entirely CGI, except for the Lada leaving Elorg and everyone arriving at the airport. I was hiding just off camera to come in and clean the spark plugs after every take!
The car chased looked so real! Driving animations were near perfect! But of course, being a vfx artist I could tell that parts of it was CG, probably all of it without the interior shots.( Some of the camera angles definitely wouldn't work irl.)
"007: From Russia with Cube" 🔫
Yeah I actually met Howard Lincoln back in the mid 90’s and no way would he have been involved in a high speed car chase. Very smart guy and actually quite nice.
He sounds like a sensible man. Real people wouldn’t want to get involved in high speed car chases because car chases are too risky and too dangerous.
Who cares if the car chase was not true. It was one of the best parts of the MOVIE. The "glitch" transitions between real life and 8 bit graphics was my favorite part. The Russian version of Holding Out for A Hero ( along with the Japanese version) are a close second. You can know the truth and appreciate fiction at the same time.
Robert Maxwell is Ghislaine Maxwell's father for anyone who didn't know.
Kevin Maxwell had seen this movie and said his dad depicted in the film was nicer than IRL
@@ArcielLoyolabro that actually sucks 💀
That would explain the eyebrows
I was wondering about that.
Henk Rogers did know about Game Boy before it's launch. It's why he wanted to put Tetris on it. Nintendo could've put Mario as a pack in game but Rogers told them if they put Tetris instead, the Game Boy would be for everyone.
The Gaming Historian TH-cam channel did a great documentary on Tetris that I highly recommend people watch.
I watched this movie last night. I really enjoyed it, although the chase at the end was a bit ridiculous in a funny way.
It was good, what turned me off a bit was the cgi but the music made it better
It is especially funny when you know how these cars are really controlled and how it feels to drive them))
Inshort, the wrongs are the spy movie elements
hey, real life can't be that dramatic
Gaming Historian explained everything about the story of Tetris perfectly
Wen I saw the car chase escen, I was OMG they really spice it up the real events just for the sake of entertainment and was a brilliant move.
Learn to spell bro 💀
Just finished it now, I want more! Haha! Taron Egerton and whoever played Sasha & Alexey were great!!!!! I have never hated the Maxwells MORE than after learning of the shit they pulled on my favourite videofuckinggame
Nikita Efremov played as Alexei Pajitnov and Sofia Lebedeva played as Sasha.
Taron Egerton reminded me of a younger dicaprio. Very underrated actor
yeah - i could see that, kind of had a wolf of wall street vibe without the all of the debauchery, lol
I just finish this movie and I'm impressed on how Tetris became part of our history and more when i learned how it was built with the OG programming languages.
The Tetris Effect is REAL. After playing the game during the day, the following night, I can play it in my mind. My brain randomly generates the blocks, and it feels as if I'm playing the entire game in my head.
Just look at Robert Maxwells daughter
The apple didn't fall far from the 🌴
We got the movie of the year already 🙌🏻
definitely better and fun than anything coming out these days
I really hope there's a Sequel that focuses on Atari vs Nintendo, cause Tetris' license coincides with their Battle
Even though the car chase was obviously wrong, it was fun. And this is a hell of a movie.
glad you told us the truth. It's not necessary to include the USSR in Tetris so seriously
I loved this movie~mentary. Sure the KGB plot element was too over the top, but at least it made an otherwise boring movie about business legal disputes a bit more exciting to sit through 👍
Another movie that needs a dvd release that probably will be streaming only
I've streamed it but would be nice to have physical copy
This movie was a representation of the battles that ensued for a puzzled game! It required a lot of thinking and Henk was there when the opportunity showed up!
Highly recommend this movie!!!
Should do a top 10 games from the 80s with tetris, when anyone could play & not feel overwhelmed???
Wish this was in theaters for non-apple users
fantastic fun entertaining movie bravo amazing cast
When Henk talks about ‘Zelda and Link’. It shows us a scene from LOZ: Four swords, a game that came way after when this was set and the two shown are not Zelda and Link but Link and Link.
I don’t think this is essential enough to be included but I needed to get it out there
lol said the same thing. That part irked me to no end. Such a sloppy, careless mistake.
fr bro it was hilarious
I was surprised they didn't use something from the right time period. Seemed like such on oversight.
It is a good movie with a intresting story, and I also sugest watching, the gaming historyan's documentary of Tetris, to clear some fact's from the film.
I watched this movie last night and I loved it. Maybe a little too long but overall really good.
@Jonny it's probably our attention span getting shorter by watching tiktoks and shorts
@jonny_laguna It had the perfect length. Personally I hate this trend where seemingly every movie comes close, or even breaks the 3 hour mark
Haven't played it in years and still sometimes see those blocks fall in my dreams sometimes.
I think the part about how everyone knew that the USSR was about to collapse was true. All these things happened under Glasnost and Perestroika and the old ways of doing things was becoming redundant. I have read that a lot of corruption happened in this period.
Russia was also still fighting in Afghanistan at the same time too, this literally put the Entire Union as a whole into a slug match to keep themselves stable
I don’t get why people don’t like this it’s a good movie and tells a story of one of the best games of all time
The overwhelming majority of people do like it. Look at the ratings.
First time I heard people did not like the film. Just watched it with my Dad it's a good movie.
@@SunnyWinterzpeople hate the movie because they whitewashed a real person who was Asian and see it as another example of Hollywood appropriating achievements by non-white people and white people of achievement. They should have got an Asian actor to Henk who is Asian.
How do you know that nobody in KGB suspected that collapse of the USSR was close?
I like it, but I do agree that there are some inaccuracies.
A fun movie! Liked that you can perceive and understand the oppression of Russian citizens at the time. Very good movie indeed, even with the wrong parts... but that ending/credits mix of PSB "Let's make lots of money" with the TETRIS theme was just an awesome touch. Wish I could find it without the dialogue.
I don't know much about the history of Tetris. But, So far the Movie has been great fun... Btw
Taron in a stache is a good look.
“Neat rows” I see what you did there, writer
I've never watched the Tetris movie for the first time, last year I've watched Gaming Historian's Story of Tetris to know the history about the Cold War to the release of Gameboy to Atari and Judge Fern Smith
Love watching my wife replay Chaos Bleeds every few months or so. It's one of her favorite comfort games of all time.
As soon a Sasha showed up i immediately said "HONEY POT" like James franco lol
They got Henk Rogers' ethnicity wrong, too, lol
Sonic the hedgehog 2, the reason I am a gamer(also a fan of super Mario bros )
Not surprise that Nintendo and Atari were rivals back the 1980's and unaware of the Sega Master System until 2021 (from You guys )
I thought the guy who made tetris an hero'ed (if you don't know what that means then don't reply.) Seriously a legend I've heard since I was little in the early 90s.
Ok, where did you first play TETRIS ??
- Toronto Ontario Canada 1990
-At the underground, a dive arcade in the basement level of a store downtown on Yonge Street (which just happens to be the longest street in the world, true story lol ) and Gould st close to Dundas by the Eaton center ……
WHAT ABOUT YOU 🤷🏼♀️♥️
At least the Maxwells got what they deserved.
When Rick Yune said "that's the kind of guy us bankers like - he actually pays his debts" the whole cinema laughed.
This is one of the best movies I watched in recent years. The comunist era dipiction is breathtaking.
The movie ending where the party member that get arrested is the todays oligarc starting story.
Fun fact: They used Game Grumps footage when they mentioned Punch Out
Galaga always was special to me. I got pretty good. Could make a quarter last a long time.
To this day, I make the joke that movers should be hired based on their Tetris score 😂
Interesting
1. the honey trap lady was his real translator he got video of her. she was a kgb agent. he choose her because she was the friendliest agent/happy/laughimg. the honey trap part was just for the movie
Is her accent authentic?
imagine how cool it would be if the lead for this movie was an actual mixed/indonesian person though
3:07 this was clearly added to the movie because Matthew Vaugh was acting like Michael Bay and Randall Wallace during the Pearl Harbor and wanted to make an excuse to put a love one in danger from another country regardless of the historical inaccuracies.
Nice
I know the Rogers Family.
There are 9 chidren
Henk is the Oldest Son.
This movie was awesome 👌
Gorbahev never speak english . No one in my memory of that time speak english and specially so well
imagine in movie gorbachev judging both company who had the right owning the tetris. sure its not accurate but kinda interesting that leader ussr reacting of everyone wanting the share of that game
Two hours of fun.
If a movie for whatever reason gets made about me. The creators of th4 movie have my blessing to add as many action and car chases as they want
The only bad thing about this movie is that it is on Apple TV.
I know its fake the car chase scene but i didn't expect a FREAKINGA CAR CHASE SCENE in a movie title tetris
A Russian version of I need a Hero was so good!
American movie without car chase? Impossibru.
🤣🤣🤣🤣I didn't either!
I thought I was the only one having dreaming tetris 😂
I liked this movie
I need a hero....すごいすごいすごい 💃 🕺
I really liked this movie lol
i wish it had more stuff from before Rogers entered to picture and less soviet drama stuff otherwise I really enjoyed the film
A typical Hollywood movie-Action,romance etc...You know the usual...😂😂😂
I miss Tetris
I hate innacuracies in movies like this. If it didn't happen, why put it in? Screw the emotional response, I want fact, not hollywood in these types of movies. Everytime a biopic comes out I go straight to these videos before even watching it lol
I agree. However, the problem with so called "Based on a true story" movies is that movie studios are looking to make money from their products. They have learned the hard way that a slow movie won't get them $$$ so, if they feel the story doesn't have sufficient emotional impact or action to accentuate the issue and/or thrills movie goers look for, they will add some or even exaggerate things. This is true of virtually all movies of this kind.
Fr fr Tetris effect
I dont care about the car chase scene, we can have fun!. I knew it was fake of course. But the heroisim, the inteligence and patriotisim were the highlights of the movie. Humans are really amazing and also horrible at the same time. I loved the movie.
Fact : his name is Henk, not Hank. Surprised in your fact finding video you get his name wrong
The best the best movie...
I love this movie
Wow...
1 - HAHA! I Knew This wasnt true! Come on!.... But Is still fun.
I like _Tetris_ movie 🥰
So movie makers really believe that police/military cant stop planes from flying out, or worse, at the passport check?
To be fair, the KGB guy had already gone rogue at that point.
Not vonna lie even with the liberties sprinkled about this movie was what i needed
Has nobody making this "production" never heard about Robert Stein? Who the F is Hank? He is a invented person or someone that came into the story when it was to be ported to consoles?
Nono, Henk Rogers was the Game Developer located in Japan that bought the Console Rights to Japanese Game Consoles from Mirrorsoft, led by the Maxwells, who bought the rights from Robert Stein.
Henk was also the guy who went to Russia when he smelled something fishy with why he couldn't get the rights for Handheld Tetris. Doing that revealed Stein was taking creative liberties with the contract and encouraged Head of Elorg (The Owners of Tetris), Nikolai Belilov to confront him and Kevin Maxwell, later on helping Nintendo secure the rights because he was fed up with not getting royalties from Stein.
Finally, Henk became CLOSE friends with Alexy Pajitnov, Tetris' creator, and co-founded The Tetris Group with him so Elorg could only do Tetris related business through the two of them. Alexy finally got paid for his game thanks to Henk and later they'd have all the rights to Tetris sold to them so they'd co-own the game for decades.
@@TECH097 Henk smelled money. Greed is a powerful drug.
My brothers hatred me playing multiplayer with me on play station... Cuz I'd play forever...
Moscaw?
I'm pretty sure you guys are surprised that Minecraft is the best-selling video game of all time, and that it surpassed all the sales of Tetris
It's ludicrous and infuriating at the same time how the wife who lives all her life in Japan speaks way better English than professional "diplomats" (who were speaking English to a Japanese person in Japan, BTW) while the daughter speaks Japanese only
@jonny_laguna
I don't get what you're trying to say. Normally, this would just add up to what I said (since back then the embassy personnel would just be more professional and general people would just speak and understand less foreign languages), but you nevertheless seem to contradict me in some incomprehensible way so it's probably not the case. I would appreciate it if you elaborated on your point, and also why you started with "Again"
Wife can be bilingual and have spoken English sińce a Child So has a American Accent,
Diplomats have Russia accent
She grew up in hawaii 😑

Las Vegas
The Maxwells
IS THIS MOVIE LIKE THE COFOUNDER BUT WITH TETRIS

The Founder. Yes it's s similar type of film.
