hogso Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Is this the 'choose your own adventure' one? I tried the minecraft one and it was clunky to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Finished Narcos Mexico just now, again very good. I would have liked more real footage thrown in like the original Narcos, but I guess there isn't as much material compared to Escobar who was so high-profile. I assume there will be another series.

It's interactive! Trying not to see/read too much as I won't be able to watch it until tomorrow/Sunday, but I've seen one post on twitter suggesting there is over 300mins of content, which condenses into a 90 minute movie with choices along the way. looks amazing.

Stevo985 Posted December 28, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted December 28, 2018 Yeah just had a look and definitely interactive. Didn't work on my phone though. I couldn’t see the choices so I just got stuck on the tutorial. I’ll try again later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuthority Posted December 28, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted December 28, 2018 Just watched the new Black Mirror 'interactive.' Pretty enjoyable and the first time I've ever see anything like it. I was definitely engrossed but somehow I was left a little ungratified. I think it's the not knowing if you got the 'best' or 'right' result/ending.

I'd kinda planned to make a note of mine as I went along then repeat with different choices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichfield Dean Posted December 28, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted December 28, 2018 Bandersnatch was amazing. I also got the 'unfulfilled' feeling for some reason but other than that it was so clever and so amazingly seamless when moving between choices. Very clever and very creepy. It does give you the option to return to a branch point you didn't take when your chosen story comes to an end, which makes it quite strange because you never know when the film has 'finished' as such. But they have incorporated this aspect into the story itself which is kind of genius. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted December 28, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted December 28, 2018 Yep I'm exactly the same. Really enjoyed it and was a cool concept, but the actual story seemed to end really abruptly and I don't think it was actually that good. I've had a couple of different endings but I feel very unsatisfied by it. Some bits were brilliant though Spoiler When he starts to become aware of you making the choices was great. If anyone got the bit where you tell him about Netflix and then he tries to explain it to the doctor it's hilarious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichfield Dean Posted December 28, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted December 28, 2018 Still watching and exploring the options. Spoiler The level of detail is astonishing - the adverts that pop up based on the initial cereal decision for example. And whether Colin is or isn't present in certain scenes. It is truly remarkable. But yeah, overall even a fantastic implementation like this does highlight the difficulty of telling a really coherent and fulfilling story in this fashion. 5 stars out of 5 for effort though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted December 28, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted December 28, 2018 Poirot complete. IMDb is littered with one star reviews, mostly along the lines of "It's not like the book, so it's WRONG" or "It's not David Suchet, so it's WRONG". I thought it was brilliant, bravo Malkovitch and the writers/director. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted December 30, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted December 30, 2018 So, the BBC non-singing Les Mis. Pretty decent start, I thought (although I haven't read the book). But the casting of a few black actors has brought out the Daily Mail readers. This review on IMDb, ten minutes after it started: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
