The new interactive Black Mirror Bandersnatch episode on Netflix. It's excellent!

If you played choose your own adventure games or read those kind of books when you were a kid, you'll get some bonus nostalgia points out of this one. 10/10 for sure!

Not sure I'd go 10/10 but it was really fun. This is one of those thing you just need to do if it sounds at all interesting to you. Don't read anything about it and just do it.

Bandersnatch Netflix ?/10

WTF? Just WTF.
I get it but just not entertaining for me. IMHO just aggravating. Think Ill go watch Bird Brain again. People seem to love that one too.

The Predator - 5/10 - it started out pretty fun and entertaining although a bit silly, but I was enjoying it. Then it just got even dumber and the whole group of guys is just kind of stupid since they are all like rejects and mental. Just an overall silly movie not even really worth watching if you are a Predator fan.

It's a lot better if you watch it with a blindfold.

The Man from Earth. 10/10. There are gems out there.

Im warning you, stay away from TMFE 2.

Equalizer 2 - 4/10 - just a bad movie that was all over the place. And then there is some random hurricane at the end of the movie which made absolutely no sense. Bad movie is bad.

i dont even remember the movie thought it was pretty good def better than birdbox but i did watch birdbox because you gave it 9/10 and wow it was not so great. No real end at all, the only thing it had going for it was that it was shot with professional equipment unlike most B movies.

The Predator - 7/10. I liked it, so sue me. Didn't take itself seriously and the humor was great. I might have given it a higher score if Mrs. Waterford had more screen time.

 

[purbeast0]

I did like some of the humor in The Predator too especially on the bus when Key was making the mom jokes.

Meh, I was pretty underwhelmed by the new Black Mirror movie/episode. I wish it would've been just a regular full season. I'd give Bandersnatch maybe 6.5/10. To me it seemed more like an excuse to use, or to test out, Netflix's interactive mechanism. The movie itself was kinda meh too, boring old trope of multiple realities (didn't seem like there was even much of that anyway). I do like the main actor though. I thought he looked familiar but couldn't place him until I saw his name; he was in Dunkirk. Also I thought his therapist was hot, probably my favorite part of the episode.

Sounds like I'll have to check out Bird Box. I've kept hearing about the damn thing, and saw that it broke some Netflix viewing record(s). I had no idea what it was about until I searched it earlier this morning; post-apoc fiction is right up my alley. And Sandra Bullock... do want x 9001.

 

[ImpulsE69]

is that the only episode this season?

 

[Charmonium]

Mortal Engines - 7/10

I don't really like that the plot relied heavily on the search for a McGuffin, but I really liked the Steam Punk vibe and the SFX.

 

[ultimatebob]

Birdbox was OK... it almost feels like A Quiet Place tribute movie to me. I'd give it a 7/10.

Maybe it would have been better if it was interactive like Bandersnatch

 

[ultimatebob]

From what I heard, the whole season got delayed by a few months because they had to film over 5 hours of content for all of the alternate Bandersnatch endings.

Finally got around to watching Hidden Figures - decent movie 7/10.

Edit after reading @SKORPI0 comments and link below

Finally got around to watching Hidden Figures - excellent movie 9/10.

Too bad it had a lot of historical inaccuracies, some scenes depicted in the movies never happened. I gave it a 7/10.

Always Shine - 7.5/10. Pretty weird and uncomfortable but great acting. I've mentioned this before but I'll watch anything with Mackenzie Davis.

I agree. It was a huge disappointment. If this is how things are with whole Black Mirror series, it is a major downturn for me. It was cool to see few things/settings from the 80's but overall 6/10.

 

[clamum]

Bird Box -- 7/10 Couldn't decide between 6.5 or 7 so I rounded up. I enjoyed it but not quite as much as A Quiet Place, which I thought was really great. But overall I thought Bird Box was pretty good and would recommend it to those that like post-apoc fiction.

That is about exactly how I see it. I may watch it again to get a different series of events. I have plenty of time at work now it seems. I enjoyed the nostalgia of the time it was set, the acting wasnt terrible, but overall just felt meh afterwards.

Have you seen the San Junipero episode? If you like nostalgia (or just really freaking good Black Mirror episodes), definitely check that one out.

Yeah, I didn't like it at all. Black Mirror is great because of the tight writing, extremely focused plotting and editing. This format just wrecks it (and yeah, you have to make many wrong choices to "get it"...which is still what wrecks this project). It's almost as bad as the actual choose your own adventure books. There's a reason that format failed--they were utter shit.

I'm guessing this will fail too, just like 3D. Humans just have too short memories or simply no appreciation of why bad ideas fail, despite how many times you try it again, just because "it just wasn't done right the first/last dozen time(s)!" We don't need interactive TV content. We just don't. Do your job, and write a cohesive story. It's your job to edit out the crap and piece together something solid out of a bunch of junk. Stop trying to convince the audience that they want to do your work for you. They "think" they do, but they will inevitably be bored by it or just hate it. It always happens.

Ah, come on... I LIKED the "choose your own adventure" books when I was a kid, and I also liked text based adventure games like King's Quest. This episode nailed both those concepts for me.

The only reason that I would agree to such nonsense is if you give me a coolcoin, but we both know that isn't happening.

Yep tons of people liked them. It isn't any different than 'getting all the endings' in video games. You either like it or you don't.
