Anissa Z Absolutely crazy and out of this world. I was hooked for like the whole time the concept is like a fever dream I've had before but never quite put my finger on... Crazy. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Griffith J An ambitious project that doesn't reach its potential. Intriguing enough to hold interest but doesn't progress much. The theme of free will is approached well with good 4th wall writing but weakens the plot. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/05/24 Full Review Tristan C Nice idea, but honestly fairly boring. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/02/24 Full Review Nick S It was good. Interesting story that really makes you think a lot. What, I think, they did wrong is - they made it too complicated. I believe, as a first entry into this "choose your own adventure" approach, it should have been much simpler so that less-eager viewers get more of a thrill from it - and then, they should have created more and more complex sequels. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/01/24 Full Review matthias s From the moment I hit play, I knew I was in for something extraordinary. "Bandersnatch" effortlessly combines the best of both worlds, weaving an engaging narrative while embracing the interactivity that only gaming can offer. As a gamer myself, I was thrilled to step into the shoes of our protagonist, Stefan, and make decisions that shaped his journey. The meta aspect of this film is an absolute joy for any self-aware geek. You'll find yourself questioning the very fabric of reality as the story unfolds. The clever references to gaming culture and the nods to classic '80s video games had me grinning from ear to ear. It's like the film is giving a playful wink to us, the viewers, acknowledging that we are part of the game too. "Bandersnatch" takes interactive storytelling to a whole new level. With each decision, you're granted the power to shape Stefan's fate and alter the direction of the story. It's an exhilarating feeling to know that your choices have real consequences, and trust me, there are plenty of surprising twists and turns along the way. The thrill factor in "Bandersnatch" is off the charts! Just when you think you have a handle on the plot, the film throws a curveball at you, leaving you second-guessing your choices and questioning what you think you know. The tension builds with each decision, creating an immersive experience that had me on the edge of my seat throughout. It's worth noting that "Bandersnatch" isn't your typical passive movie-watching experience. It demands your active participation, and that's where the magic lies. By immersing yourself in this interactive adventure, you become an integral part of the story, making it a truly unforgettable and personal journey. Sure, there are times when the choices can feel overwhelming, and the consequences might leave you scratching your head, but that's part of the fun! The beauty of "Bandersnatch" lies in its ability to create a sense of agency and freedom within the confines of a film, and boy, does it deliver. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/11/23 Full Review Eric W This movie is not what I was hoping for, especially when it carries the "Black Mirror" name with it. I couldn't wait for this movie to end, and still wasn't sure if it was over yet. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
