Do you have any idea how many times I've said that we need to see Tetris as a talking picture show? Finally.

Will it be as good as Battleship?

[Tatsujin]

this will become one helluva blockbuster.

hope pajitnov will get his fair share out of it. probably not a single ruble.

has anybody seen this...?
I rented it on iTunes for a flight and it was entertaining.  If for no other reason there aren't a lot of recent, well produced movies on vid game history.

I think it will be impossible to top this in all of its brilliance:

The Tetris God

That sort of brings up an interesting question. What video game property based movies are actually good? Of course, a lot of these "films" are made by the terrible Uwe Boll.

These are the ones I can think of..

Super Mario Bros.
The Wizard (not really a game, but must count)
War Games (not sure it was actually a game)
Tomb Raider 1 & 2
Tron
Tron Legacy (My favorite)
DOOM
Prince of Persia
Wing Commander
Far Cry 
Bloodrayne 1, 2, and 3
House of the Dead
Dungeon Siege 1 & 2
Max Payne
Resident Evil Series (5 films?) (1 and 3 are decent)
Silent Hill
Alone in the Dark 1 & 2
Postal
Warcraft (Out next year maybe...so I guess we wouldn't know how it is)
Final Fantasy The Spirits Within
Final Fantasy Advent Children

I'm probably missing some.....anyone else know of any not listed?

This is what I think of when I think of "Tetris movie".
