Know how you'll feel about a film before you press play. How To Movie learns your taste from your own ratings and predicts each film as Ugh, Good, or Great, never guessing from the crowd.
A model of your taste, built only from your ratings.
Predicts your rating
A personal model, trained on the films you've rated, estimates how you'll score something before you watch it.
Modern and classic brains
Separate models for recent films and 15+ year-old classics, so older movies are judged on their own terms.
How you'll feel
Every film gets a clear Ugh, Good, or Great verdict, calibrated to your own history rather than a generic average.
Follows your taste
Recent favourites count for more, so predictions keep pace with how your taste actually shifts over time.
AI Discovery
Optional AI recommendations read your taste profile and surface films worth your night, on only when you enable it.
Private by design
Your ratings and any AI keys stay on your device. No ads, no analytics SDKs, no tracking.
Why it's different
It doesn't tell you what critics thought. It tells you what you'll think.
Trained on your ratings, not the crowd's average.
Personal model
A classic from 1975 is scored like a classic, not a new release.
Era-aware
Ugh, Good, or Great, calibrated to how you actually rate.
A verdict you trust
Privacy
Your ratings stay yours.
How To Movie is built around your own data. Your ratings, watchlist, and taste model live on your device, powered by film data from TMDb. AI Discovery is optional, runs only when you turn it on, and uses an API key you store yourself. No ads, no analytics, no tracking.
