New 'Tetris' Movie: Great Idea or Epic Fail?

We all remember the pain in our thumbs after pushing on the keys of our flip phones for hours. The frustration when we only needed one piece, and, of course, it never came into view on our small screens. Many of us have probably forgotten about this old game and replaced our distractions with Angry Birds and 8 Ball Pool. However, our beloved game is making a return... but with a slight change. According to idigitaltimes.com, Larry Kasanoff has come up with the brilliant idea to turn Tetris into a Sci-Fi film. Of course, this isn't the first video game related movie to be produced. Wreck-It-Ralph, for example, was a big hit among viewers. The same can't be said for the newer Angry Birds film, which received a 57% on rotten tomatoes. Kasanoff reported to the Wall Street Journal that, "This isn't a movie with a bunch of lines running across the page." So what exactly is the plot of this film? A world belonging to the player of the Tetris game? An apocalyptic scenario in which people are getting killed from giant blocks falling from the sky? The success for this film doesn't seem too likely. What's your opinion about this upcoming movie?
