We tried stretching content to 100% of 27" viewport but it looked too cluttered. Imagine if you were reading a book where page width was half meter long. I hope you understand what I mean.
We could left align it tho. Didn't really try yet. Thanks for the suggestion!
Also won't work with facebook/twitter/google. I authorise the app okay, but the modal doesn't close, and I don't get logged in. OAuth callback not working?
We are using data provided by existing API's, and it's far from perfect in case of countries. Many hollywood blockbusters have numerous country tags. For example if one scene was shot in france, or they partnered with french production or something, it will include the tag "fr".
We have some ideas on how to make this more accurate. We'll be improving it in the next couple of days.
Well done. I always have a very bad time when trying to figure out which movie I want to watch, most websites have bad navigation / filtering capacities / just unfriendly in general. Movieo solves that problem elegantly.
This is wicked. It's slow, probably getting hammered by HN and/or has to retrieve data from various online servers (imdb and whatnot) but it's wicked guys, congrats!
Yep, I feel bad for our server right now. We actually pulled all data (300k+ movies, 800k+ people) into our own database. If it had to retrieve from various sources in real time it would have crashed long time ago. Time to upgrade the servers and cache everything into oblivion I suppose :|
Really love the site and bookmarked. For an anime movie fan it's tough to find a nice place that does all the things you guys do in a user-friendly way, so this is epic.
Highest audience rated animation from Japan between 2000 and 2014? Bam, there you go. That's how you help people. :)
So thank you for making this. If you need any extra help / feedback in return, lemme know.
That exact kind of search (and more!) has been supported on the major private bittorrent trackers for years. They also have the benefit of offering all the movies with a single click.
I noticed this aswell, it happens with audience score of some fresh movies (less than 1 month old). We pull this data from OMDB, so we can't really control it. We'll try to fix most of these cases manually.
Second this. Seems like the second most important thing behind the movie ranking is its availability on Netflix, Amazon, AppleTV - e.g. I want to find the best ranked movie on Netflix or Amazon Prime.
Related movies seem to be based on keyword search primarily, unconstrained by genre. But the keywords seem like sketchy content. Inception's keywords are "loss of lover dream sleep subconsciousness defense mechanism redemption," such that the top related movies are "The Science of Sleep" and "Sex and Lucia." Hmm... That doesn't seem quite right to me.
Similar movies are pulled from TMDB API. We have nothing to do with it. But you are right, in some situations similar movies don't make much sense. We have to dig deeper into this and find a good solution.
Looks good, but the one feature that I find lacking (in this and other similar apps, like http://omive.com) is the ability to "hide" movies I've already seen. Because otherwise I have to go through pages and pages to find a movie I haven't seen, let alone consider watching.
Multiple people said this, it's a shame how we didn't think of this before! We'll be adding this feature during the next couple of days! Thanks for pointing it out!
Hi oldboyFX, how are you doing with this feature? I would love to use movieio.me, but right now it is too time consuming to use because of all the movies I have already seen.
Great interface. How about adding a small trailer button on each movie preview as well.
Would save people time of clicking for a movie and then going for the trailer. Just my thoughts.

Not really a criticism but more of a question as I'm not a designer by any means:
Why do you only use a sliver of horizontal screen space in the middle?
I only mention this because it looks slightly unusual on my 27"

We're looking into this. If you could provide any additional info about the error, it would be very helpful for us! Thanks

I think you have a small issue with the Rotten Tomatoes API, for example with the movie Lucy (http://www.movieo.me/240832-lucy). The page shows a 96% audience score, while the Rotten Tomatoes website says 48% (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/lucy_2014/).
