Discovering titles
Search, filter and browse to find your next favourite.
Press the search icon (or Cmd/Ctrl-K, or “/”) to open quick search from anywhere. It matches titles and descriptions as you type, and when you’re signed in each result has a bookmark button to drop it straight onto your watchlist without leaving the search.
On the Movies and Series pages there’s a search box on the left of the filter bar. It searches the title and description and combines with the filters below it.
Narrow the catalogue by genre, year, rating, status and duration, and sort by popularity, rating, release date or title. Filters stack, and “Reset” clears them.
Every genre has its own page (e.g. /movies/genre/action) you can browse and bookmark. Tap a genre chip on any title to jump straight there.
Series are grouped by the network that airs them. Open the Networks page, or a series’ network, to see everything from that network.
Tap any actor, director or creator to open their page: a short biography, personal details (born, place of birth and more) and their full filmography, with a “Known for” row of their most notable titles at the bottom. Switch between Previous and Upcoming credits, narrow the list to Films or Series, and sort by Newest (the default), Oldest, Highest rated, Most popular or Title. Your filter and sort are remembered on this device for the next person you open.
Discover surfaces what’s trending and, once you’ve tracked a few titles, personal suggestions based on your genres and history.
Open “Matchmaker” from the footer to find titles by vibe instead of genre. Move the sliders, horror, cult following, intellectual appeal and more, toward what you’re in the mood for, and matching movies or series appear instantly. Leave a slider in the middle to ignore that dimension. Switch between Movies and Series at the top, and titles you already track are left out.
Each movie and series page ends with a “more like this” row. We analyse titles across dozens of taste characteristics and match on the overall feel, not just shared genre, so the suggestions go beyond “same category”. Titles we haven’t analysed yet fall back to genre-based related titles.
Can’t find a movie or show? Open “Suggest a title” from the account menu and give us the title or its IMDb id (the ttNNNNNNN code from the IMDb URL). We look it up automatically, skip it if it’s already in the catalogue, and otherwise add it. You can follow each suggestion’s status on that page. Once Moventra is installed, you can also share a movie or show link into it straight from your phone’s share menu, it opens the suggestion form pre-filled.
Every film and series page has a Reviews tab with audience reviews and their ratings, imported from TMDb. Long reviews collapse behind a “read more” link, and each review links back to its source.
Want trivia, reviews or the full crew? Every movie, series and person page has an “On the web” block with links to the official site, IMDb, Wikipedia, TMDB, Letterboxd (movies), Trakt, TVmaze and TheTVDB (series), Wikidata, and official Instagram, Facebook, X or TikTok accounts. We only show the ones we know for that title or person. On a title page the block sits under the details, on a person page under their personal details. Links open in a new tab.
On Suggestions, press “New in” plus the current year to see only titles that came out this year so far (for series, the premiere date), still matched to your interests and taste and never ones you already track. Ideal for catching what you missed. Press it again to go back to all years.
