The basics

What is Reelipse?

Reelipse is a one-stop movie and TV guide. It covers every film and TV show on TMDB, well over a million titles. Each film has a quick verdict, the cast and crew, runtime and age rating, a post-credits answer, where to stream it, its watch order and similar movies, all on one page. Each TV show has a verdict, cast, age rating, where to stream it and similar shows, plus a guide to every season and episode and when the next one airs. The home page shows what’s trending, in cinemas and coming soon.

No. We don’t stream films. Each film page links to JustWatch so you can see which services carry it in your country, plus the official trailer.

Verdicts & ratings

What do Absolute Cinema, Worth the Hype, Popcorn Flick and Snoozefest mean?

Absolute Cinema: drop everything and watch it. Worth the Hype: clear your evening for this. Popcorn Flick: fun if you don’t overthink it. Snoozefest: your time is worth more. It’s faster to act on than a 7.4 out of 10.

Where do verdicts come from?

From TMDB viewer scores: Absolute Cinema is 7.9 and above, Worth the Hype 7 to 7.8, Popcorn Flick 6 to 6.9 and Snoozefest below 6. Films need at least 40 ratings first. Every film page also links to IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes and Letterboxd so you can compare.

Can I give my own verdict?

Yes. Every film page has a “What’s your verdict?” control. Your choice is saved privately on your device.

Features

How do “movies like” recommendations work?

We start with the films Trakt’s viewers watch together, then add TMDB’s recommendations and films it rates as similar in story and genre. Each recommendation says why it matched.

What is the Movie Map?

A 3D map around any film: the films its viewers watch next sit close, their matches further out. Drag to turn it and click any poster to move the middle there.

What is Blend?

Pick two films and Blend finds what sits between them. Good for couples and groups who like different things.

How does Pick For Me work?

Set your time limit, who’s watching and an optional mood. We choose one well-liked film at random, weighted toward higher scores, and can skip films you’ve already watched.

What does “Start now and it ends at” mean?

Each film page works out the clock time the film would finish if you pressed play now, so you know if it fits before bed.

Parents & content

Do you show age ratings?

Yes. Each film page shows its official certificate for India (U, U/A, A) where one is listed, or the US rating otherwise.

How do I find family-friendly movies?

Use the Family-safe filter on Discover, pick “Family with kids” in Pick For Me, or browse the Best Family Movies list.

How do I know if a movie has a post-credits scene?

Every film page answers it in the quick facts, based on TMDB’s community tags, and the Post-Credit Scenes list collects the films where you should stay. Very new films may not be tagged yet.
