Video game adaptations have a troubled history, from the downright bad (Assassin's Creed or Alone in the Dark) to the mostly tolerable (the wildly off-book but still somehow enjoyable Resident Evil franchise). This year, though, the format was taken to new heights with HBO's The Last of Us, which many proclaimed to be the first truly great video game adaptation. When first announced, Tetris seemed like it would fall on the spectrum somewhere between bad and tolerable. How were they going to turn the puzzle video game into compelling cinema? For the most part, they don't do exactly that. Tetris is a serviceable adaptation of the real-life battle for the rights to one of the most famous video games of all time, but for all its visual flair and 80s nostalgia, there's still something missing when all the pieces come together.
