Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 4605215, member: 833"] [B]Tetris (2023, AppleTV) [/B]- While the movie has some flaws, it is very entertaining and a very good film overall. The premise is a complicated rights negotiation between and among two separate buyer's agents (Robert Stein and Henk Rogers), a Japanese gaming company (Nintendo), a corrupt media conglomerate (Robert Maxwell) and the Soviet Union. I know the software industry relatively well, and I had a hard time following the plot. It is an interesting story about the origins of a massive hit of a video game, but it is also an exploration of the parallel corruptions of capitalism (as personified by Maxwell) and Communism. That said, Nintendo comes out looking really good in this movie. My only significant complaint is a Argo-ian chase scene late in the movie that I felt was contrived, but that is if I am looking for things to complain about. This movie is pretty good. [/QUOTE]
