Apple’s upcoming ‘Tetris’ movie takes audiences on a thrilling spy adventure, departing from traditional real-life drama storytelling

The film follows the story of Henk Rogers (Taron Egerton), who recounts his first encounter with Tetris at CES as a young entrepreneur. Rogers becomes obsessed with the game and teams up with Soviet programmer Alexey Pajitnov (Nikita Efremov) to bring Tetris to the world. Despite the compelling character of Rogers, the movie fails to explore why he risked his life and business, though his obsession with the game is a universal response to playing Tetris for an extended period, which the movie portrays through hallucinations of falling blocks.
