Apple’s 'Tetris' movie trades real-life drama for spy fantasies
Rogers’ early glimpse at a Game Boy prototype, the system that would makea global phenomenon, is treated like he's encountering the Holy Grail. He immediately sees the potential for appealing not just to kids with NES consoles but even adults. You could easily call it the first casual video game. Ben Miles and Togo Igawa also do a fine job of embodying Nintendo royalty, former Nintendo of America chairman Howard Lincoln and the company's third president, Hiroshi Yamauchi.
British billionaires Robert and Kevin Maxwell are more James Bond villains than actual humans , as they wrangle with Soviet leaders and Rogers over distribution rights to the game. Soviet intelligence officers, who repeatedly threaten Rogers and Pajitnov, are even more cartoonish. By the time we reached an obligatory car chase that, for some reason, also turns into pixelated graphics, I was almost completely checked out.It’s doubly disappointing since the movie didn’t need to do much of this.
