Black Mirror [Episode Discussion] - S05E00 - Bandersnatch

I get the concept that they're trying to go with and it's pretty neat how they executed it. Honestly though, at the end of the day when I watch a movie, I just want to watch it... I don't want to choose a path and go back 10 times and pick a new path. The concept is interesting but honestly, I hated it. I just want to lose myself in a story, I don't want to choose my path and then be forced to go back and try again. Give me a movie and just do it. Being in control is too much and the fact that there are tons of paths takes away from it rather than adding to it. Such a piece of shit, I love Black Mirror but this is stupid as fuck.

I understand the concept but when I'm looking to watch a movie. I don't want to be clicking on shit and deciding for myself. Tell me a story and get on with it. The fact that I have to decide for myself takes away from it.

I've gone through the movie 3 times now and I still don't know if I'm closer to the ending but the shit I've gotten is trash. I don't want to pick something and then get sent back and decide again because my choice wasn't good enough. The movie touches on the fact that I have a choice but ultimately the creator never made paths for all of them. If there was a true path that's fine but I'm not sure that I even saw the full movie. I really hate this piece of garbage.

Fuck this concept, keep it the same.. This shit was a massive bust for me and I didn't even nut. I'm a movie nut, eh he but this was just stupid.

Can't wait for the next season where I can just watch it an not decide what the fuck is going on.
