Have you ever watched a movie and then been tormented by the thought: “Why didn't I go to this movie while it was in the cinema? That would be so great.“ But the train has already been two or three years ago, and maybe more. Meanwhile, new interesting films are released every week, and “young players” appear in the top 250 on IMDb, and we just have to not oversleep and have time to go to a worthwhile movie while it is still being shown on the big screen. And then the Fflick web service will come to the rescue, which will not only tell you what Twitter users think about the movies they have watched, but also present the reviews of your friends on Twitter in a convenient form.
Registration on the service is what it should be – it just isn't here. Just find and use the “Sign in with Twitter" button. We confirm permission from Twitter (“Allow”) our profile has already been created. By default, a page will immediately open with a list of your opinions and the opinions of your friends about the movies you have watched. On the left side of the screen is the cover of the movie, and on the right is your friend's opinion. In the appendix to the picture of the film there is information about the number of tweets and the total score (as can be seen from the illustration, at the moment these indicators are at the level of 968,385 tweets and 75%).
In the profile of each Fflick movie, in addition to standard data (genre, release date, description, age rating, etc.), it shows information about the current assessment by Tweeters, a list of the most influential Tweeters who have already spoken about the picture, popular opinions (opinions that have scored the maximum number of retweets) and links. The list of messages about the film below contains convenient filters – the opinions of your friends, interesting (I have no idea how tweets get here), positive and negative reviews.
If you are faced with a choice of which movie to go to, then go, first of all, to the Fflick homepage. Here all the movies are divided into categories – going to theaters, the nearest in the plans of the show (for example, on August 13) or pictures starting soon. Also, the main page shows popular and recent tweets on the topic of cinema, as well as links to the Twitter profiles of film critics and studios. All this is necessarily flavored with a reminder of the number of tweets left and the rating of the film.
Personally, I am delighted with the idea of service, design and information saturation. It remains only to say thank you to Kurt Wilms, Ron Gorodetzky, Dav Zimak, and Marc Hemeon, who created such a wonderful thing. And I'm going to watch new movies and write about them in Fflick. By the way, do not forget that the web service is guided by English-language names, so leave your reviews mentioning the original name.
