A Hidden Gem! Tetris (2023) Movie Reaction! 

It's so interesting how one of the most iconic games of all time almost never made it outside of its home country. This movie is great.

Fun fact: that $5,000,000 check in 89' is the equivalent of $12,000,000 now. Definitely worth the effort

39:46 I was curious about the same thing, so I did some checking to see what Henk's other kids and Alexey's sons are up to now. I learned that Henk's daughter Julie Rogers is co-founder and executive director of the Akahiao Nature Institute, his son Leonard Rogers is founder and CEO of a company called R Bridge, his other son Michael Rogers used to be Chief Agricultural Officer for an app called Smart Yields, and Alexey's son Peter Pajitnov is a lawyer in Seattle. I also learned that Alexey's other son, Dimitri, passed away in a skiing accident in 2017. RIP Dimitri Pajitnov. 😢

37:13 Nintendo's licence of Tetris expired in 1996, and all rights reverted back to ELORG, which became a private company after the Soviet Union fell, and to Alexey, who co-founded the Tetris Company with Henk. ELORG owned 50% of Tetris until the Tetris Company bought ELORG in 2005. Now, Henk and Alexey (and Maya) own all worldwide rights on all platforms.

This movie was really surprising. I put it on as a backround movie but started very quickly to watch it with full attention.

Fun fact - actor, who played Alexey, Nikita Efremov, had major role in Russian series "Londongrad" in 2015 and had a joke about Tetris. For me, in this film there are so much stereotypes for both sides. But I kinda like it anyway. Thank you!

It makes so much sense that Robert Maxwell was Ghislaine Maxwell's father.

yeah they totally added some stuff for dramatic effect, but it makes for a movie thats just fun to watch

Such a shame it's not getting the credit it deserves!

Best use of that song since Shrek 2

Loved this movie, I don't know if you can call it a hidden gem, since there are so many big names, but I'll count it since I din't expect anything going in watching it! :-)

I think the movie Tetris was brought to life! Thank you, Eric!

Nice reaction! I watched it last night and I really like it.

Cool reaction. Spasibo.

I signed up for apple TV just to watch this movie and I loved it!

I think this was (thus far) the best movie I've seen this year. It subverted all my expectations.

You want to hear something crazy? Apparently, because Henk Rogers is of partial Indonesian descent, Taron Egerton's casting was criticized as whitewashing. Which I think is crazy, because like you said, he was brilliant.

The only reactor, to watch this great movie

Dude this was an awesome Movie. Highly recommend it. 👍

wow

Taron Egerton has been killing it. His performance in Black Bird miniseries was also great. Based on a true story, Black Bird is an intense and suspenseful viewing unearthing a serial killer who preys on young girls. Taron obviously plays the protagonist, without spoiling anything. A bit heavy for this channel beyond what Eric usually reacts to, but a good watch away from YT if you're fan of Egerton.

Lucky you have apple TV +
