    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Early in the movie, Henk talks about how when he sleeps he can still see the Tetris pieces in his dreams. This is actually a real phenomenon called the Tetris Effect. The term was coined by journalist Jeffrey Goldsmith in 1994 to describe when something that one focuses on for extended periods of time starts appearing in their thoughts, perceptions, and dreams.
    • Goofs
      In the shots where Henk's passport details are shown, the capital of the Netherlands is erroneously spelled as Amsterdamn, instead of Amsterdam. Additionally, instead of the gender, they entered "12 JAN".
    • Quotes

      Alexey Pajitnov: Good ideas have no borders.

    • Crazy credits
      A short video is playing about halfway through the credits. It seems to be actual footage of Henk and Alexey in Moscow.

    Pretty cool
    I never knew this entire back story behind the success of Tetris. I was intrigued when I first saw the trailer and wonder if it could be any fun or good and I'm glad to say it's a pretty cool movie and I did enjoy it quite a ton. Taron Egerton did such a good job in the role and did some good acting and i think this movie was a pretty fun time and the whole story behind tetris. I think it was a pretty solid movie and now I want to play some tetris after watching this movie. This isn't groundbreaking but it's just a fun time in general which I think people should watch and I recommend to watch it.
