What's the review

Use speech recognition to find, in an easy and fast way, ratings about a movie. See the project live at http://whatsthe.review

Everything starts with a story

I have always enjoyed movies, and by "movies" I mean good movies.

I mainly use Netflix to find what show to watch, but it does not provide, in my opinion, a good rating to know if a movie was appreciated by the public or not. Hence, the following typical scenario comes when I want to watch a movie:

  • Dinner is ready, waiting to be eaten
  • I start Netflix and look for movies
  • As Netflix does not provide rating for its movies, I go to my Mac and, for every interesting movie synopsis, I manually check for its rating on Rotten Tomatoes - which is the most reliable source for movies rating IMO
  • If the movie is below 60-70%, I check another movie and start again

As a result:

  • Finding a decent movie takes ages
  • I usually have to check for tens of movies and switch between my Mac and the remote control
  • I end up desperate and finally select a random movie
  • Most importantly: dinner is cold!

So, from all this laziness and frustration, I quickly prototyped http://whatsthe.review to solve:

  • How not to have to manually check for movies ratings
  • How to get ratings quicker
  • How to eat hot!
