That movie was fucking wild man! Who else has seen it, how long did it take you, and what did you think?

I will not post spoilers to the best of my ability, but I can't guarantee others won't.

Totally missed that. Thanks.

Also, to each their own. Lots of movies are absolute dogshit that people think are amazing.

Also heard it was unbearably bad, but said fuck it and decided to see for myself. I hated or was bored by almost all the episodes in Black Mirror's last season, but I did love episodes in each of the previous seasons and wasn't ready to give up on any of their content yet.

I legitimately don't see why people are trashing it that bad... Sure, it's nothing super special or w/e, but it's entertaining enough and it kept me, my wife, and my brother-in-law mildly entertained for a good hour or hour and fifteen minutes. Ending was rather anticlimactic, kinda made me want to go through it again, but I'm guessing that's their whole goal with this. I'll probably end up YouTubing all the different endings at some point or another, but I didn't care enough to bother yet.

How did it end for you. Pm me to prevent spoilers. Guest curious how others watched it.

Its not long, and i was very entertained. It actually made me pay attention as if i was in the theaters.i wanted to know what i was choosing when it happened. I watched it once very thuroughly, then a skipped like 75% the 2nd time to choose a different outcome and was kinda disappointed, but it reflected a line from the first play through, which was moderately cool.

It was okay. It had a lot of potential and then they shit the bed with it. It was the only above average episode of the entire season, hence the "almost all" statement in my previous post. The punishment didn't fit, nor was it satisfying imo. The entire *plan* if it could even be called that, and everything that followed was idiot plot. As that point of the episode is predicated on the fact that both Nanette and Daly are fucking geniuses (should be obvious, but can clarify if needed), it was just painful to watch. I enjoyed it a lot up until that all happened, which thankfully, was only a small portion of the episode. Everything else was pretty much perfect and I'd still gladly watch that episode again, but it was above average or pretty good at best, it could have been great, but they fell short.

I'd probably go

Playtest and Shut up and Dance as my top two. Giving nods to National Anthem and Men Against Fire.

From my talks with fans of the show, it appears that a lot of the ones I disliked, like San Junipero and Nosedive for instance, are favorites for almost everyone else.

Playtest was a really nice one as well.

I didn't like the ending.

I was intrigued with where it was going and then it didn't really end up going anywhere interesting.
