I guess some props to Netflix for trying something different, but I expected more. The "interactive" gimmicky portions seemed great at first, but then became annoying when you make the wrong choice and are looped back to previous scenes, thus having wasted your time and start losing interest in this film, and thus making this not "fully" interactive, as you are pushed towards a choice. Half way through we just wanted to get to an ending - any ending. I'm not sure exactly how many different endings there are, but I hope it's much less than the useless loops that took me well into 2+ hours (of a supposedly 90 min film) of relentless re-run scenes. This film is more of a video game, and if I wanted to play a video game, I'd boot up my Xbox or PS and use a proper game controller, not a mouse on a computer screen. After the bad taste of the loops goes away, I will try to re-watch this film without the interactive portions (available only via my computers web browser and mouse clicks) and see it thru my Fire Stick (oddly, interactive options not available) to see what Charlie Brooker decided this story should simply be. Aside from the interactive portions, directing was on point and the acting adequate. Clearly I wont be commenting on the editing lol. Shocked at all the fake high reviews, it really kills the brand when it has to come to that. A 6/10 from me, mainly for Netflix's ingenuity.
