Black Mirror introduces philosophical concepts from a dystopian point of view. The general theme of most of the episodes is about the main characters making certain choices whithin the bizarre black mirror universe. And as a viewer you become a witness to the consequences of said choices.
Black Mirror - Bandersnatch is basically another episode of black mirror but with the concept of making the viewer an accomplice to the choices as well as the consequences that goes with it.
And just like the episodes of Black Mirror, it's from a dystopian point of view, where 'the concept of choice' is insignificant and doesn't really matter. It introduces the idea of 'the illusion of choice'. As a viewer you think you're in control, but in fact, you're just like one of the characters, who's being controlled; by a construct, literally and methaphorically. And if you're a stubborn viewer like me, you'll most likely Rewatch the movie in a hopeless effort to make different choices with different outcomes; in order to "win", or perhaps to just "be in control". Regardless, you'll end up being just another character in a dystopian story loop. That in itself gives the movie a deeper meaning and that is what makes this a genius concept. 9/10.
