“Black Mirror: Bandersnatch” is a movie derived from the hit british Netflix original, “Black Mirror”, which is thriller and sci-fi based.
“Bandersnatch” is interactive meaning, during the film it lets you make choices for the characters.Before the movie begins, there is brief instruction on how to operate the new feature. You are also given a ten second window to make a choice or else it’s going to do it by default. For example, in one scene Stefan’s father asked him what he wanted for breakfast and gave him two choices. On the screen you are given a limited time to choose what has been offered.
Taking place in the UK, Stefan Butler an upcoming programmer, creates a video game based on a “choose your own adventure” novel in 1984. He’s given a September deadline so it can hit sales by Christmas and is really stressed during this creative process. Because of this difficult time, he begins to lash out at his father and everyone around him;causing him to visit his therapist. He talks about his mother’s tragic death and how badly it still affects him. The rest is classified information, however it will all come together and make sense.This movie is highly recommended for anyone who is a fan of the anthology series, “Black Mirror”.
