   The Tetris movie that dramatizes actual historical events of a multinational battle to acquire the rights to the game is finally right around the corner and... it's quite a bit more over the top in style than I'd expected.

     I was looking forward to this, but now seeing the approach they took kind of bums me out. There was enough to make a cool Social Network-style film, but they went all out on evil KGB and car chases. 👀

     @xsan64 There are MANY, but the one I'd recommend is BBC's "Tetris: From Russia with Love" because it's made up entirely of *first hand* accounts of many of the participants:

     @dosnostalgic I look forward to it, but is there an existing documentary that gives a more accurate depiction of the story?
