Bandersnatch interactive movie - Netflix
 

https://www.netflix.com/bandersnatch

Any good? Not having a netflix account I wouldn't know myself... :(

I tried watching this yesterday and just gave up. I kept getting sent back and forced to make choices. Then it replayed scenes that I already saw. After the fifth or sixth time doing that....zzzzzz

Was looking forward to this movie, and maybe I'll try and give it another chance, but initially.... zzzzzzz.

:(

I don't understand how this works. Do you have to rewind and fast forward the entire time through the movie?

I didn't think it would be like a game. It should send you through all the way to an ending no matter which choice you make, otherwise it's going to get tedious.

Well supposedly (as I understand it) you get to points when you make choices using your remote control. The choice you make is then streamed seamlessly. Should you not make a choice, it chooses for you. There are a lot of different outcomes and different ways to get to the conclusion (A Conclusion) of the movie.

Apparently the total hours of poossible viewable content filmed was about 13 hours. A personal trip through the movie should last about 1 hour 30 mins making choices, but if you specifically set out to do so, and you already knew all the correct choices, you can get from start to finish in about 45 mins

I think the fun is supposed to be in watching it again and making different choices and seeing hitherto unseen footage and new options become available as choices...

But like I said, I genuinely don't have a netflix account and have not seen it (pirated or otherwise) All the info I know about it has been gleaned from the web, hence this post to see if anyone here has seen it and was it any good?

I also know that on older devices (Like my smart TV) it probably won't work properly anyway...

In my case I have Amazon Firestick. Choices pop up at the bottom of the screen and you select. It is seemless.

Very interesting. I'll try and get some time to watch it this weekend and see what happens.

For curiosities sake I opened Netflix on the computer and it seems to be the same sort of thing there as well. There is no option to fast forward or skip ahead throughout the film. It appears the buttons appear universally.

Thank you but no.

Not a Black Mirror fan then? I thought most of us here were...

I'm a huge Black Mirror fan. Going to start watching it now via my Amazon Fire stick :thumbsup

I chose SugarPuffs

I chose Thomson Twins

Funny, I just tried watching this today and it drove me crazy, plus the story is quirky and distorted to say the least. Btw, I love Black Mirror seasons 1 -3 (season 4 sucked).

I chose to Accept

I chose to Refuse

I chose Yes

I chose the Bermuda triangle

I chose Shout At Dad

I chose Follow Collin

Is there a point at which you can choose to soil your pants?

If so, I'll sign up later today... :2 cents:

But aside from what you have chosen, is it any good? lol :)

I chose Yes to dropping acid

Yeah I like it Fionn Whitehead is hit as fuck :thumbsup

This scene with them on acid is interesting and his rift on the meaning of PACMAN is scary lol Did you see that scene?

Nah, I've really seen none of it and dont have a netflix account.

I chose Colin

I chose Pull Earlobe

I chose Flush Them

That scene was crazy... loved the song by Tangerine Dream they used there. It's from the soundtrack of one of my favorite movies of all time: Risky Business.

Yeah it was great real trippy and well done

I chose Hit Desk

I chose Pick Up Family Photo

I chose Throw Tea Over Computer

I chose The Symbol

I chose Back Off

I chose Get Rabbit From Dad

I chose Toy

I chose No

I chose the symbol

I chose Kill Dad

I chose Bury Body

I chose He Jumped

Post padding?

What's that?

Edit: Just googled it. No I don't give a shit about post count. Honestly I didn't realize how many options there would be during the movie but once I started I figured I'd follow through with it to the end lol

How to Watch Every Ending of 'Black Mirror: Bandersnatch'

That's a good view point
 

Yes! yes yes!!!

Hell yes, it was awesome, can't wait for what similar things come out on Netflix next

I liked how they featured the robot dog from another Black Mirror episode as a video game. Cool little easter egg.

Watched it after seeing this thread, was ok but I prefer just to sit back and be taken on a journey when I watch Netflix, if I want interactive I'll switch on the PS2 or XBox.

I won't be rushing to watch one of these 'interactive' streaming videos again.

I thought that you could watch it passively and not make choices too? ie if you don't choose the movie chooses for you and ts just like a normal movie?
