While this movie got a lot of press for being a kind of "choose your own adventure" the reality is that the gimmick was really used to drive home the main story line. The viewer was made to feel like they have some kind of control over the story, but do they really? Do we have any kind of control over anything? The film really challenges the user to think about so many different ideas - I really enjoyed that part of it. Overall I think it was a fine entry into the fantastic Black Mirror catalog. If you're not familiar with Black Mirror I recommend that you read this primer: http://grantland.com/features/the-remarkable-black-mirror/ (tip: whatever you do, do NOT watch Season 1 episode 1 first).
