Just read the below:
“Netflix has announced its plans for further world domination, with the reported expansion of its services into an Apple-Arcade style subscription model, a move that follows the success of Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, and Stranger Things: The Game.”
I’m usually all for all things postmodern and quirky (I love The French Lieutenant’s Woman and meta-fiction is a lifelong interest), but I really didn’t dig Bandersnatch. Don’t know if it was the tech aspect that threw me out of the experience or the unwelcome video game connotations, but I could never appreciate it.
Anyone have thoughts on this? Interactive entertainment, exciting as it is, doesn’t seem to align too well with the idea of film as an immersive experience (unless we take 4D enhancement with relevant flavours/surround sound etc), or am I wrong?
Does anyone feel excited reading the announcement, or is this the latest “tech” gimmick?
