Netflix released episode number 00 from their, long waited, season 5 of their original series ” Black Mirror” last December. the episode was named “Bandersnatch” and it came in the form of an interactive movie where the audience gets to ” choose their own adventure”.

The next binge-watching series, for people who haven’t yet watched it, should be “Black Mirror”. the show Black Mirror examines modern society, particularly with regard to the unanticipated consequences of new technologies. And “Bandersnatch” mixes the experience of watching a movie about new technologies while using new technology to interact with the movie.

The movie is a psychological thriller genre and the rating for the film is “TV-MA’’ which means the film is not suitable for people under 15.

plot

In England in July 1984, young programmer Stefan Butler (Fionn Whitehead) dreams of adopting a “choose your own adventure” book called Bandersnatch by tragic writer Jerome F. Davies into what he hopes will be a revolutionary adventure video game

. The game involves traversing a graphical maze of corridors while avoiding a creature called Pax, and at times making choices by an on-screen instruction. Butler produces the game for video game company Tuckersoft, which is run by Mohan Thakur (Asim Chaudhry) and employs the famous game creator Colin Ritman (Will Poulter).

Butler is given the choice of accepting or rejecting help from the company in developing the game. after choosing to accept the offer BUtler realises it’s big pressure on him. Butler then considers trying again, and the film returns to the day of the offer, the viewer is given the same choice.

Movie review:

The idea of the film as an interactive ” choose your own adventure” movie was new and exciting for many people.

After watching the movie, the excitement turns into astonishment and confusion. a lot of questions come to the mind and exclamation marks rise.

the film has more than five endings, which each one of them is very different than the other depending on the viewer’s choices. some of them are self-explanatory but many of them are confusing and can be translated and understood many ways.

after watching the first ending, Netflix will give you the option to go back to certain options so that the viewer can change their chosen path, they chose before, and try new paths.

there are some choices that are “Wrong”, like the choice of choosing to accept the offer of developing the game. when choosing this path Colin Ritman will say:

After showing you how does this path end it will redirect you back to the scene where you choose to either accept or decline the offer again and you are expected to choose to decline the offer, since accepting was the wrong path,.

some other choices that were given to the viewer didn’t have any significant change, whether you chose any of them nothing would have changed. like when they give you the choice between ” sugar puffs” or ” Frosties” for breakfast, either one wouldn’t matter.

during the film and while watching the viewer might feel like they are in a ” feelings roller coaster” where they are not sure about how and what to feel towards many of the characters as the characters do different things and have different reactions in each path.

It’s hard to decide whether you love or hate, trust or are suspicious of a certain character because in each plot they are different.

The movie had a strong cinema effect, the music was well fit with every situation. The lighting and colors were also very well suited with the time theme that the movie is set in “1989”. The clothing and even the street view were also suited with the time frame that the movie is set in.

The music effect and soundtracks during the whole film fit very well with every situation and helped hype the viewer up when necessary, make the viewer excited or even make them scared sometimes.

The movie was a good start to the “choose your own adventure” type of movies and it was well made, directed and produced. Although some drawbacks that some people might see, the overall experience was new and exciting to watch.

Beware of the T-shirt cannon, according to a Houston Astros fan.

Jennifer Harughty (JEH-nni-fer, HAR-u-ghty), a Montgomery County, Texas, resident, filed suit against the Astros on Monday claiming that a T-shirt fired into the crowd at a game last July irreparably injured her left index finger. The woman is asking for 1 million dollars in damages.

Harughty was sitting in the third-base stands, about halfway up the first deck, at a game against the White Sox on July 8, when Orbit, the team’s mascot, launched a T-shirt from close range that smashed into her hand and fractured her finger.

Harughty said that when the T-shirt first hit her she thought it hurt but ,/.

The ever-evolving Los Angeles County Museum of Art has cleared its biggest hurdle to erecting a radical new building by the Swiss architect Peter Zumthor that represents one of the country’s most ambitious museum transformations.

The county board of supervisors voted Tuesday to approve the current plan and release $117.5 million in taxpayer funding for it, despite last-minute entreaties from some art and architecture critics who urged the board to vote against the project.

Michael Govan, the museum’s director, in turn, took to the Opinion page of The Los Angeles Times to present his case.

“This is the big green light everybody has been waiting for,” Mr. Govan said after the meeting, where leaders of neighbouring museums and celebrities like Brad Pitt and Diane Keaton made short public comments of support. “Now we can go ahead with construction drawings and go raise the rest of the funds with the assurance this is going forward.”

what is anime?

people might wonder what does the word “anime” mean? what is the difference between anime and cartoon? in anime for kids?

to answer these question we have to first identify the meaning of anime. “
Anime is hand-drawn and computer animation originating from or associated with Japan. The word anime is the Japanese term for animation, which means all forms of animated media”. so anime is similar to cartoons in a sense but it is still different. anime is mainly targeted to more older ages as well as children. The major differences between anime and cartoons are the background, the character, and the plot. cartoon is more intended to make people laugh and made in a comical way, like SpongeBob. while Anime concentrates mostly on life issues or things tied closer to human emotion. that doesn’t mean that all anime shows are serious and focus on life issues, but a big portion of it does. there are a lot of shows that concentrate on super natural powers, super natural events and even to make people laugh as well. it simply comes in ALL genres just like regular movies.

space travel

As mentioned before, their are anime shows that handles the topic of time travel alone and there are shows that talk about both time and space travel. there are also some shoes that talk about only space travel without knowing the exact time era or with a totally different time scale. this genre in the anime industry is more popular and more well known more than the time travel as it has more shows and more fans. the main characters mostly in the anime shows doesn’t know or understand why and how did they space travel. as most of them didn’t choose to space or place travel. just like time travel, space travel also happens for many reasons and my many ways.

time travel

to start with the website we have to differentiate between time and space travel anime shows. although, some shows will handle both topics at the same time, some others only discuss the topic of time or space travel. time travel means moving to another different era or a different year whether in the past or in the future. time travel in anime shows happens for so many different reasons and with many different ways, whether It be with a time machine, magical powers or other ways. in this website there will be recommendations for anime shows that talk about time travel specially and both time and space travel in general.

welcome!

welcome to my website journey through space and time. this website will be about anime shows and movies that talk about time and space travel. there will be recommendations and suggestions to new shows that talk about this topic with a quick summary and a glimpse to each one of them. this genre in the anime industry is not very wide but it has a decent amount of shows that are already published. it might differ so much from one show to the other and that’s what will be discussed in the website. how can time and space travel be very different from the perspective of different people and with different plots.
