So I ’ll go ahead and assume you ’re aware ofKing of Kong , the videogame documentary that chronicles an epical conflict to rule the game of Donkey Kong . Kongwas a surprising movie principally because it was supremely interesting to non - nerds , even though its depicted object was nominally a video game – and who wants to watch a movie about a video plot , much less a super - old picture game ? Well , the short response is of form that the movie was aboutpeoplewho play video games , and these days , that category hold out to almost everyone . There are a handful of games that almost every game - player has tried – top among them isTetris , the classic game by Alexey Pajitnov .
Director Adam Cornelius has put together a documentary about the top Tetris actor in the universe – the lagger is below , and it ’s been blowing up since the trailerhit the video biz presson Tuesday . I ’ve in reality gotten a sneak peep at part of the picture ( full revelation : Cornelius is a friend from college ) , and I ’m extremely excited about this docudrama . I should be clear – I have several friends from college who make picture show , and I do n’t post their trailer here . This one – well , sometimes there ’s a movie that has such universal appeal , and such compelling characters , that you have to take a look . This movie combines the nerd ingathering of Tetris , obsessional game - acting , and cat break wolf / moon shirt with the excitation of a sport event . I ’m not josh – watching the good Tetris participant in the world competing head - to - head is splanchnic and electrifying . Here ’s the trailer :
disco biscuit of club : The Tetris Mastersis presently in postproduction , set for exit in 2012 . If you ’ve played Tetris even nonchalantly , you ’ll find this movie tense , exciting , and nerdy around the edges – and yes , it ’ll give you Tetris Dreams .
