Black Mirror Men Agains Fire Rip Off of Outer Limits Heart and Minds
Very disturbing...and if they COULD do this, I bet they would....
Alert: Spoilers
Although it's from season three, this is the first episode I saw of "Black Mirror"...and because how good information technology is, it was a good place to first.
The show is set in the near future. Soldiers from some sort of international armed forces unit are battling 'roaches', though the roaches aren't bugs simply people...or they are kinda people. While they are humanoid, their mouths are freaking and inhuman and so is their language. They are very scary looking...and the soldiers know it's but proper that these 'things' are wiped out once and for all. The trouble is that 1 of the soldiers is having issues with his implants...and they all receive some sort of implants...and where this goes is what makes this one memorable and exciting to spotter.
This show has a lot to say...just I don't desire to discuss this now since you may not accept seen the show and talking about the implants would ruin the suspense. Suffice to say, the evidence is clever and a bit of a scare since it seems possible such horrible applied science COULD one twenty-four hour period be created.

The Armed forces Mind
I truly believe that the most money and management in nigh political entities is to give bill of fare blanche to something military. Since survival is the most bones human emotion, we tend to want annihilation that facilitates that. When nosotros talk about the advancement of culture, education, agriculture, infrastructure, the corporeality of coin given to these is piddly compared to the armed forces. And I'm talking nigh most countries in the world, not just ours. Think of Syrian arab republic and Russia and northern African nations. I believe that if the kind of engineering science existed that was portrayed in this episode, at that place would exist a group of zealots that would embrace it lovingly. Get rid of inferiority in our genetic make-up. The "Roaches" are just people with imperfections (as we all have) like possible cancer. Anyway, this is a actually disturbing episode because information technology is possible. Hitler used the same premises that these guys did. Throw in religion, which is every bit dangerous considering it preaches its own superiority, and you've got the seeds of the worst kind of world.

The Future Soldier
Alert: Spoilers
In a post-apocalyptic almost futurity, soldiers using implants that enhances their senses and provide data of their missions are fighting mutants called Roaches. When the team of the rookie "Stripe" is assigned to help villagers that had their supplies stolen by roaches, they learn that they have head to the house of a farmer. The soldiers discover a hideout of roaches and impale them. Nonetheless one of the creatures points a device to Stripe but he is killed past the soldier. Soon his implant glitches every now and then and he is submitted to a medical examination and visits a psychologist and learns that he does not take whatsoever trouble. On his adjacent assignment, Stripe, Medina and Rai are assigned to another mission and Medina is killed by a sniper. Stripe and Rai enter in the building to hunt down the sniper. But before long Stripe learns the truth almost the roaches and the purpose of the implants.
"Men Against Fire" is a scary view of the use of technology by the Lords of War in the warfare. Today it may be however fiction, merely the fashion this industry is developing, it might be possible some interface to control and meliorate the soldiers' feelings and senses. My vote is eight.

three.5: Men Against Fire: Dramatic simply food for thought too (SPOILERS)
Alarm: Spoilers
To bound directly into the spoilers, this episode sees the military fighting a mutated foe of screeching and deformed humanoid creatures. When one character has his implanted enhancements interfered with in some style, it causes them to switch off and he sees that actually these monsters are just people, and that they have been hunting and killing unarmed civilians.
This is delivered in a dramatic way, where we beginning with the soldiers and quickly come to sympathise what is happening to Stripe, and therefore what has been decided at a high level. On a near- future level, the episode is interesting in how information technology sells its own logic. In the same style as the evidence Utopia was chilling because so much of it ran as logically possible to those with no moral cadre, so too does this world. Michael Kelly is very well cast equally the person to explicate it, because he is detached and logical in his justification. This aspect is not every bit stiff regarding the reason they go to state of war confronting the roaches, nonetheless it works well enough, plus is non as interesting every bit the concept of helping people kill other people as easily every bit possible.
I watched this in the first week of 2017, and every bit a result this episode striking other nerves. These were the way that we already practise this without the technology, and so of course nosotros would if we had information technology. Whether it exist the media or the politicians (or more and more, a collusion of both), we already are targeted to non see others as people – and this is non me pushing a liberal calendar here, because information technology is the aforementioned on all sides. However to see Russian federation, Muslims, white males, feminists, immigrants, and all other groups all beingness painted as monsters by dissimilar groups in order to justify their agenda and goals, information technology does feel like the same principle as hither. This made it seem much closer as an idea and thus more engaging and spooky. The cease of the episode is as well really proficient because deep downwardly I think most anybody would make the same decision that Stripe does – we make it in much smaller ways, then of course we would in that scenario.
Another strong episode of a actually proficient season. When I heard that Netflix had deputed about twice every bit many episodes equally Brooker had previously made, I worried that the time-pressure and output would see quality drop but v episodes into the 12 and there is admittedly no sign of that.

Intensely agonizing.
Men against Fire is a classic episode of Black Mirror, it has so many things going for information technology, but for me, it's the what if scenario posed past the episode that's most impactful. It asks the terrifying question, what if the Military could command what soldiers saw? What if they had the ability to remove gratis will. It is a terrifying scenario, removing conscience from the military machine.
Malachi Kirby and Michael Kelly are both incredible, Kirby injects a life, a compassion and a sense of sensation into his performance, he in item was superb.
Easy to follow, despite dealing with circuitous subjects, information technology never feels too clever for its own skillful. Very well made indeed, superb production values, as always.
Powerful, hard hit drama ix/10.

"Mass lets y'all practice it."
Warning: Spoilers
In the story, they phone call it 'Mass' - an implant that screens out all distractions to war and the killing task at hand. Soldiers will non be sidelined by the sights, sounds and smells of war, death and killing. What startled me, and I don't know if it'southward true or not until I research it, was Arquette's (Michael Kelly) explanation that during Earth War I and II, but fifteen to twenty percent of Centrolineal soldiers ever fired their weapons, and in many of those instances, over the heads of the enemy. That was just a stunning revelation. And so the effort to desensitize soldiers past removing inhibitions seems like a logical step. All very frightening, because it makes the art of killing even more removed from human consideration. And yet in the scenario offered to Stripe (Malachi Kirby), he was allowed a choice to mind-wipe himself once more or relive the horror of hunting roaches. The failure of the episode lies in it's inability to explicate why the 'roaches' announced as vampires but the Danish citizens in the countryside being terrorized by them announced normal. How does the Mass implant distinguish between the two?

War, what is it adept for?
This is a deep episode that questions the morality of state of war, and whether a war tin be a "adept one". This episode doesn't rank highly amongst the Black Mirror fans, but it has a very serious tone that seeks to get the audience pondering nigh how the proficient guys see the bad ones. What is right? What is wrong? What are the greyness areas?

The weakest in the season, or more precisely, the least good
Another futuristic episode, judging by the language, is located in Denmark, in a military base that trains super-soldiers with encephalon implants, to hunt for mutants that threaten the survival of the human race. But when 1 of the soldiers' implant breaks down, he begins to realize that he is living a lie and that things are not as they seemed.
The fact is that this episode does not bring the original story, but is a fairly faithful copy of the 1998 episode "Hearts and Minds" of the series "The Outer Limits". Just nosotros certainly live in an era of remakes and reboots, accustomed to a serious shortage of original ideas, and personally, I have never had a problem with loans of this blazon, if the result is quality.
"Men Against Fire" sticks to the basic thought of the "Black Mirror" series and brings us another possible abuse of modern technologies in the near time to come. It criticizes war propaganda and brainwashing, as well as the tendency of an individual to, although enlightened, side with the bulk and opt for a line of least resistance.
The episode is an SF drama, with horror influences and the inevitable plot twist. It is well filmed and acted, and the horror moments are effective. Nonetheless, previous episodes accept raised my criteria to a fairly high level, with which "Men Confronting Fire" fails to keep upwards. Even if I hadn't watched "The Outer Limits", the story didn't bring me anything new and it didn't manage to interest me in the characters and their destinies, and the general temper, compared to the rest of the series, was lukewarm.
vii/10.

Predictable but practiced.
Black Mirror
Men Confronting Burn down (iv out of five stars).
This episode delivers another mind bending story with a social commentary message subconscious in the theme. Which can try to be relatable to the real world political/ warfare theme. It has an interesting plot without trying to requite much away almost the twist. I did find the twist to be predictable with this one. The plot follows Stripe (Malachi Kirby) and Hunter (Madeline Brewer) who are in a armed forces squad. Preparing to exterminate "roaches" which is mutated infected people. While Stripe begins to have visions during the mission. Which at that place can be something more that is hidden in there mission.
It has a sharp entertaining direction. Equally the squad is walking through a wasteland of an apocalyptic future. I thought the twist has been done before in another science fiction picture which is interesting but anticipated.

Eugenics Pick Northward Mix
Warning: Spoilers
Ok
At beginning I thought it was a pretty unoriginal take on a zombie pic, which information technology kind of is. The twist is simply that the "zombies" are only people with bad genetic traits. I was actually actually enjoying the story for the get-go half or then.
A better twist for the episode would have been to take the device evidence the roaches as normal people - when in fact they really do have a dangerous contagious sickness, and it turns out the military are actually justifiable in their actions. At least then it would requite the viewer something to think about. Every bit it stands, it's completely obvious from the beginning that the roaches will turn out to exist innocent people.
Every bit another reviewer mentioned, history and the present 24-hour interval continue to show us that certain humans need no excuses to oppress others and visit violence upon other people who are different. The idea that a human would merely kill another human if they resemble a literal monster is absurd to the betoken of farce - completely divorced from the reality of the earth and human nature. A regime tin can always find violent thugs ready to go out there and guiltlessly follow orders.
The eugenics angle seems a little silly. If they had the blood results for these undesirables, why would they exist eliminating them in such a haphazard way? Why wouldn't they take care of them at the time of the testing? It's possible I misunderstood the nature of the testing, or that they only decided afterwards on to exterminate these people, or that they somehow escaped. I gauge the bloodwork results wouldn't be instant. This version of administering eugenics just comes off as goofy.
It just seems odd to me that if the elites decided to exterminate these "junior" people, that they would do information technology in such a bizarre way. The logic is that they desire hereafter generations to inherit skilful traits, just the world the "normal" villagers are living in looks crummy as hell anyway. It doesn't seem to me like they are caring about quality of life for the "normal" people, so why would they care so much if they got some bad genes? Wouldn't it make more sense for the well bred powerful people but to isolate themselves away from the undesirables?
The ideas of fascism and eugenics are completely unoriginal- to the signal that the villain comes off as a one dimensional moustache Twirler. For this episode to be compelling you need to be able to sympathise with the villain in some way.
It really only feels like this world is unrealistic and the episode didn't do a smashing chore of explaining the logic of the world.

The weakest episode and so far
Warning: Spoilers
I am following the series in chronological order and so far, I found something interesting in each episode. Unfortunately, this story is but a bland politically correct statement.
It is based on the unrealistic premises that human beings are besides sympathetic a species to inflict pain willingly. Nevertheless, history constantly proves that men are quite eager to hurt others.
Existence it fuelled by ideological or tribal reasons, or just pure sadism, there is no shortage of violence in our past (and nowadays). You just need to check the torture instruments invented throughout the centuries (and withal used nowadays), to sympathise that no brainwashing is required to convince somebody to hurt someone else.
Perhaps information technology does take some natural inclination, just not much convincing.. and if during WWII only 20% of soldiers actually aimed at the enemy, how come 70 million people died? Did they purposely stumble on bullets?
Anyhow, the plot is near a marine brainwashed by a cybernetic device called MASS into killing people with defective DNA - though it is non clear why somebody confronting violence would bring together the marines to start with....
PS and if the authors wanted to make a powerful argument, perhaps they should accept considered religious brainwashing instead of the military - which has been done fashion as well many times before. But I guess that would take been way too controversial and Black Mirror stops short of controversy.

Coulda been better!
In the grand scheme, it's very generic, to say the to the lowest degree. But some revalations at the last human activity proved information technology has some nuances that are plenty to make it mildly refreshing, and kinda smart, at its cadre. It was all most the execution itself that saved the best, the meat of the story, for the final, and utilized it as a plot-twist rather than building upon it.

Heavy handed
Warning: Spoilers
This review contains spoilers.
The fifth episode of the third season of Blackness Mirror is entitled "Homo Against Burn". The episode is directed by Jakob Verbruggen and written by Charlie Brooker. The episode stars Malachi Kirby as Stripe, a soldier in the military. Stripe is forced to confront his by actions after a successful raid against mutants.
The episode is admittedly heavy handed in the delivery of its message. The episode has MASS implants creating illusions of mutated creatures such that Stripe and his team annihilate them. The episode does non have much subtlety in the execution of the concept. It became apparent as the episode went on that the plot attempts this as a twist. The plot of this episode is all the same engaging. The plots suspense is not equally engaging as the direction.
The interim by Malachi Kirby deserves mention. He does a fantastic chore with the role and information technology certainly shows on the screen. Likewise, the other supporting actors play up to par. The episode is not weak in the acting or direction.
Despite the lack of surprise in the plot I all the same enjoyed "Man Against Fire". The episode is a solid addition to Black Mirror. I would recommend "Human Against Fire".
Course: B

unique take on common trope
Warning: Spoilers
slap-up stuff, sick. non possible to properly review episode without spoilers, as tends to be the case with the serial. The topic for this week is genetic engineering, eugenics, genetic diseases, and that sort of thing, probably most famously covered in science fiction by the moving-picture show "Gattaca".
the initial conceit is what may be some manner of small-scale post-apocalypse, in which soldiers with combat-enhancing implants hunt down and impale shrieking deformed monster-people chosen "Roaches". Then one of them hits the protagonist with an electronic tube with green lights, and stuff starts changing for him.
the large reveal is that at that place are no "Roaches", at least in terms of what the soldiers encounter; their implants direct affect their cognition (all their senses, non only sight) so that they see designated people they have to impale as shrieking monsters. they are actually killing normal civilian people who are "genetically inferior", pre-disposed to genetic deformations, diseases, illnesses, mental disorders, that sort of affair.
rather than handle the state of affairs in a soft bigotry blazon of way like in "Gattaca" (where these types of people are tolerated simply essentially 2d-grade citizens) or trying to gently exterminate this via eugenics programs, the people in this episode accept gone a seemingly overly complicated path to exterminate people with inferior genes, while also fixing the supposed "problem" of soldiers in war being hesitant to kill their enemies, ending up going out of their way to avoid actually hitting their opponent.
by literally dehumanizing their opponent, the soldiers tin impale their enemies mercilessly with no lingering effects of PTSD or combat fatigue or mercy to their enemies.
while an interesting conceit, the execution seems troubled, with it taking merely a bit likewise long and in a roundabout mode to get to the large reveal, and then having to accept it all explained in two separate Expo Dump monologues that terminate upwardly leaving a minor window of interesting self-reflection followed by heaping portions of fridge logic that linger long afterwards. Some of the major issues that y'all remember up later; 1) Only the soldiers have the implant which makes genetic inferiors await like "Roaches". Thus, the other civilians in the surface area know that the "Roaches" are normal people who are infected. It seems highly probable that there would exist a lot more people than the one supposedly crazy religious human hiding "Roaches" in their homes and keeping them prophylactic, and that interactions between the soldiers and the civilians would eventually lead to the realization by one side or another that the "Roaches" aren't actually monsters.
2) The episode does a dandy job of avoiding any significant Nazi parallels, simply I cannot imagine this situation they take of implanting soldiers to make them meet the enemy as monsters would exist universally accepted among all nations and/or fighting forces. It would seem that having one nation and/or one army going around mass murdering civilians in a European country they deem to exist "genetically inferior" would not be a state of affairs that would escape detect of other countries, who would most likely end up eventually uniting and attacking them to stop them.
3) Given the level of technology they accept, it would exist utterly incommunicable to keep something like this a secret.

With a bully thought provoking premise and smart execution, Men Against Burn is i of Black Mirror'due south best
Right now, this and Exist Right Back are head and shoulders above all other BM episodes for me (with 9 withal to picket). I really loved this ane. Information technology's an exciting plot with a bully twist that makes perfect sense, and has a rich ambiguous message. In varying ways information technology gets at government propaganda, the psychological effects of war, human nature, and the difficulty of resistance. Extremely well executed, and the ambiguous catastrophe is fantastic. We know what his decision is - but what do his tears represent? Also dope to see my girl Shiv (Sarah Snook) hither. This is a really not bad episode with much more complex and compelling moral considerations than many episodes of the bear witness.

The season's well-nigh thought-provoking episode
To me, this episode felt more like an episode of Blackness Mirror than whatsoever other this flavor. The thing I similar about about this series is the way that it makes me ask myself upstanding questions that I never would have thought virtually otherwise while I'1000 watching. It brings up the topic of morality relative to near futurity technology. That is what has been in some means lacking from this flavor... until this episode. Admittedly, the episode is a little fleck heavy-handed at times, a lilliputian predictable at others. But at least information technology was working with big ideas, putting them out in that location, and making me remember. For that reason and that reason alone, I liked information technology more any other this flavor.
The episode follows future soldiers as they hunt down and kill genetically inferior "roaches" in some office of Europe. The subjects of eugenics, consent, and propaganda in the modern age are all brought into question by the episode.

Other reviews make me quiver
Warning: Spoilers
Showtime and foremost, this is a good episode, just like the balance of the Black Mirror series.
To cut an extremely long and complicated story curt (no sarcasm, honest) the military hypnotises (potentially implants too) voluntary recruits to the armed forces. This ensures they are viewing the man race (the damaging, disease ridden, destructive race that we are) as mutants that need to be destroyed before they destroy "usa". It's a well planned out episode but merely telling a story we're more than accustomed to. Delete the lesser, ability on with the stronger of the species (Hitler anyone? No?)
Anyhow, the episode culminates subsequently the chief guy gets shone in the eyes by a laser which the "roaches" (also known equally human beings) had constructed to assistance soldiers see the existent them. He starts to realise and rebel resulting in a showdown with the mastermind of the projection. He's given an option, keep to live in a globe where he'll be hunted or be the hunter and he'll forget everything he's seen thus far.
The episode ends with his (presumably dead) wife running out to greet him after existence dropped off at a now derelict home, which due to a quick flashback shows it used to be beautiful.
The ending is open to stance, but I think it's more than credible (and more apparent than some of the other explanations I've read on here) that she'd been deemed a "roach" and subsequently killed by the him and the military, hence his constant torture throughout the episode.
Relish and I hope yous brand similar sense.

Weapon of MASS Destruction
Stripe is woken upward past Hunter during an erotic dream. They're autonomously of a military group that have MASS implants, that heighten their senses and run across an augmented reality. Their squad is lead by Medina, who takes them on a new mission.
The squad infiltrates a subcontract firm they believe is harboring mutated humans they call roaches. Medina interrogates the farm owner while Stripe and Hunter clear the business firm. They find a hugger-mugger door, revealing a nest of roaches. One of them points an LED device at Stripe and they open fire. They arrest the farm possessor and burn down the business firm downwards.
Stripe experiences glitches with his MASS interface during training. Later on an examination, he'southward told nothing is wrong. Stripe, Hunter and Medina go far at a housing complex to search for roaches. Medina is killed by a sniper and they move inside the complex. Stripe finds a woman and Hunter kills her. Stripe stops her from killing a mother and child.
The MASS implant these soldiers are given wipes their retentivity and gives the armed forces control over what they can see. Information technology'due south explained that a bulk of soldiers don't desire to impale or even fire a gun. The soldiers augmented reality allows the war machine to pull off genocide and reward them with lucid sexual practice dreams as a reward for killing people they deem junior.
Jakob Verbruggen directs this episode in a mode that puts you in the perspective of a soldier discovering the truthful pregnant of his actions. In some parts information technology feels like a video game, showing offset person views with a gun in hand. The acting is very good overall with a standout performance past Malachi Kirby as Stripe.
Men Against Fire is a sci-fi activity drama that questions the use of advanced technology in warfare, the dehumanization of soldiers and psychological consequences of mass murder. It'southward another groovy episode in Season 3.
9/10

It's been washed before
Alert: Spoilers
I'm giving this a one star because it'due south essentially a rip-off of a story from The Outer Limits and isn't original. In TOL episode there are people fighting each other who regularly have a drug because of "radiations", when in fact it alters their perception of the enemy so they wait like monsters. One soldier ends up non getting the drug and sees the "monsters" for what they are - real people - but cannot convince his friends that they take been manipulated into fighting other humans, non alien monsters. So the story line is exactly the same.

Good ideas, but poor presentation and execution.makr this a poor episode for Black Mirror
The episode begins rather strong. It made me interested in the protagonist and the overall arc. But they present too many clues for me to be surprised past the twists.
The content feels spoon-fed rather than particularly intriguing. And they had a lot of ideas for this episode where the presentation could accept been more mysterious. But instead it feels slow, obvious and in the end, over-the-summit vindictive and cruel. I know to not expect a fun or light topic for this series. But this one took some ideas which were potentially believable with improved technology and stretched them unnecessarily to where the antagonist became unbelievably vicious for the sake of exploring how evil some technology could get. Instead the goal should exist creating an engrossing story related to the potential issues of technology. This i wallows in the issues too much. Nose dive was similar.
And that is what is so upsetting. In both episodes the stories have some good ideas, bully acting, great sets and great costumes, but the stories aren't written in a particularly strong style to go the most out of the ideas. The ideas and work come off like a missed opportunity.

Ignore All Negative Reviews! It's A POWERFUL CONTENT! And it will Show you lot Harmful furnishings of Upcoming Modernistic Technologies!
I don't know why people rated this episode lowest among all those episodes available in season 3.In fact people Rated "San Junipero" episode for highest among all episodes in flavour three.Ha Ha Information technology seems similar a Joke to me.
This "Men Against Fire" Episode is such a bright episode which shows us how Neuro_Plantation could exist a propaganda machine in well-nigh future generations! Especially for some Targeted Genocides. How people would exist educate by this innovative technology. It as well provided united states of america some World State of war 1&ii'south original references, where most of the Soldiers refused to fire confronting each other and how shamelessly the generals tortured them to fire confronting Peoples; like that.
This is such an Astonishing plot and the Principal Character Acted it brilliantly. The Screenplay, Musics, Action Sequences and horror factors all mixed up well together in this episode. So I can just go with 9 Out Of 10 Stars for it. Coming into my Parental Guidance point- Just Avoid Watching it with anyone of your family member! It strictly contains pure frontal nudity and accept some gored things as well. You can get for this episode... Thumbs Up from my side.

Black Mirror standard
I liked the armed services environment. Plus, unlike in other previous Season 3 episodes (except for Nosedive) the technology is crucial signal of the story. Topic of propaganda and its spread via technology is, in today's "mail-factual" times, highly relevant. The motive of eugenics is besides up for give-and-take. Despite weaker concluding act it'due south stadnard BM episode.

One of the all-time episodes
Q-Homo 20 November 2018
I had no thought what to await from this episode. I was expecting people vs. zombies, but information technology was much more. The idea of seeing the enemy as "the other" makes it easy to kill. It is almost a reflection of what we are experiencing at present. This person doesn't look like me, has a unlike religion, peel color, language or sexual or, therefore he is less human than me. We know, or should know, that is not the instance. We are all humans. The story and lesson are thought provoking, and the acting by Malachi Kirby as Stripe was outstanding. After watching 2 disappointing episodes, Metalhead and Crocodile, Men Against Burn down was a return to the classic episodes of Black Mirror.
