10 Sci-Fi Movie Moments That Literally Stopped Movies
4. Black Mirror: Bandersnatch - You Are Controlling Stefan's Decisions
Speaking of it all being revealed as an externally manipulated simulation, Bandersnatch took that ball and ran straight out of the stadium with it!
Now, admittedly, much of this interactive Netflix experience is literally stopped along the way, mostly due to the fact that the audience is given time to decide what decision many of the characters are going to make as Stefan, Colin and co.'s lives take some rather unfortunate turns during the making of a game by the name of, you guessed it, Bandersnatch,
However, perhaps the most notable halting of the action comes towards the end of the gripping Black Mirror feature-length entry, when those watching on are given the chance to inform Stefan that we have been calling the shots all along. Cue a barmy battle with between Stefan and his psychiatrist that will either result in him dropping onto a sound stage and revealing the whole thing as just a film in production or he'll epically fight both Dr. Haynes and his dad before being dragged from the office kicking and screaming.
Whatever ending you choose, consider this story emphatically stopped.
