After five minutes of playing, he begins a rollercoaster of a journey in securing the rights to the game for Japan, where he lives and works as a game publisher and designer. Rogers discovers Tetris shortly after and is immediately fascinated. First shown trying to attract customers and investors at a video game conference in Las Vegas but ultimately failing to, Rogers is introduced as someone who is relatable and easy to root for: an everyday working man who’s trying to make a living. If the audience isn’t immediately lured in through the retro vibes of colorful blocks and music, Egerton‘s Henk Rogers is sure to do the trick. These thematic elements, including 8-bit animated transitions and the introduction of main characters as “players” with their own animated characters, create a sense of cohesion and tie the entire film together visually and musically. With 8-bit animation and music, it’s no secret Tetris is meant to be a fun and entertaining story set in the 1980s. The film establishes the setting and attempts to set the tone early on with the opening sequence. The film starring Golden Globe winner Taron Egerton tells the story of the international battle to distribute and license the popular video game - which was created in Soviet Russia - at the end of the Cold War. Nor is it a movie about the game - not exactly. Apple TV+‘s Tetris is not a video game movie. Don’t be fooled by the name (or the opening credits and graphics).
