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

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.

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?

Tetris (2016)

Directed by Uwe Boll, written by Alexey Pajitnov.
