Black Mirror: Bandersnatch

[Deleted member 48881]

What did you think of this new Black Mirror film? First of its kind, an interactive movie.

I gave 7,5/10, refreshing idea but could have been much better, storyline didn't impress me much.

Yeah, novel idea, not as good as I thought it would be

 

[coollino]

It was fine.

More A-Level media project 'makes you think' type stuff.

Edit: ohh, thought you meant Black Mirror as a whole. Not seen this yet

Full marks for innovation, but imo it's one of the weaker episodes.

Great concept, great music and very appealing to us Evertonian's as that there is no happy ending to be found, but essentially all it is an early 80s text adventure with a film woven into it - there's even a flow chart created for it : SPOILER ALERT !!!

I have no idea what this is about but can he score goals?

Nice idea.
However too many of the interavtive choices made in difference whatsoever. Kind of: 'oh lets involve you, you irrelevant easily programmed audience' patronising stuff.

i thought that was sort of the point and related to the story, you think you have control over your choices and your path in life ..but do you??

You have plenty of choices, but I suppose many of them have only trivial or no impact.

I don't know what this is - heard of the show but never watched it. But from the title of it and the interactive 'game' format described, then the writer of that is clearly a fan of British computer companies from the 1980s.

Seems like a bad version of the classic PC game Pumbers Don't Wear Ties

That explains it!

Incredible story behind that game that never was and the devs Imagine. Unsurprising that Brooker is aware of it if that's his background.

Dreadful. 3/10 if I’m being generous.
