Not bad


Basically a bunch of short films that take place in the same universe at the same time; the stories are tied together by a person or piece of technology being in two or more plot lines. The plot lines are basically mini-episodes of Black Mirror asking "wouldn't life be creepy if technology did this?" sort of thing. Supposedly the theme of these stories is supposed to evoke thoughts about the meaning of life... I didn't get that at all. To me I just thought it was an entertaining way to spend 80 minutes. Would I watch it again? Yes, actually, but with other people, not alone. These sorts of movies/shows are fun to talk about with people because the concepts depicted are fairly thought provoking even if (in this case) the movie is nothing special. I would give it a 6 on the IMDB scale. It's not good but it is thoroughly entertaining so worth a watch at least once.

good take on it. I thought as a movie it falls short because there's no story, it ultimately felt pointless. But when I think of it as a series of short stories I like it a lot more, because the stories themselves were interesting, or at least they had interesting ideas, and they were very akin to black mirror episodes.

The one thing I didn't quite grasp is what Ben was doing that so pissed off Anna and ended their relationship. I thought maybe he was secretly recording their time together and then spending time reliving those events, but how was it he seemed (to her) to be coming into her reality, almost like some shadow figure from another dimension? Was it just him following her to record her, even when he wasn't as far as she knew around?

I definitely was thinking of black mirror while watching this. There was basically 3 good black mirror episodes in it. It started a bit weird but about half way in I was pretty interested.
