Tetris | Rotten Tomatoes (1) 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 Apr 15, 2023 Full Review Tetris | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times Taron Egerton fits perfectly into story of the classic game’s origins. Rated: 3/4 Apr 3, 2023 Full Review Tetris | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Director Jon S Baird harnesses the graphic style and plinky plonk music of 80s computer games to amusing effect. Rated: 3/5 Apr 2, 2023 Full Review Tetris | Rotten Tomatoes (4) 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. Jun 10, 2024 Full Review Tetris | Rotten Tomatoes (5) David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...compelling subject matter that’s increasingly employed to underwhelming and tedious effect... Rated: 2/4 Jan 23, 2024 Full Review Tetris | Rotten Tomatoes (6) 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.
