What to Know

Critics Consensus

While it's nowhere near as addictive or fast-paced as the game, Tetris offers a fun, fizzy account of the story behind an 8-bit classic.

Audience Says

Even if it plays fast and loose with the true story behind the game, Tetris is tons of fun -- and Taron Egerton has never been better.

Stephen Romei

The Australian

The drawn-from-life drama Tetris is a bit like the video game it’s named after: slow to start but, once it warms up, a bit addictive.

Rated: 3.5/5

Observer (UK)

Director Jon S Baird harnesses the graphic style and plinky plonk music of 80s computer games to amusing effect.

Tamma Moksha

The Hindu

While his moustache might need some getting used to, Taron Egerton is reliable in this chaotic cold-war thriller and you can count on him to keep you hooked.

...compelling subject matter that’s increasingly employed to underwhelming and tedious effect...

Felix Vasquez Jr.

Cinema Crazed

As a thriller it’s sub-par, but as a film about the iconic pop culture sensation that is “Tetris,” it just downright stinks.
