CineDNA reads what you like and finds films that fit. Rate films you have seen — loved, liked, mixed, didn't — and CineDNA builds a picture of your taste out of 133 traits. Not just genre: whether you go for slow burns, for dialogue, for moral ambiguity, for nonlinear structure, for warmth, for dread. Then it uses that to rank what is actually available to watch tonight. WHAT YOU GET For You — what is in theaters and what just landed on streaming, ranked against your taste. Every film carries a Match score, for how well it fits you, and a Quality score, for how good it is regardless of you. The two are kept separate on purpose. The Genome — every film broken into the traits that make it what it is. It is what the recommendation is actually made of, and you can read it yourself. Discover — browse more than 34,000 films by genre and decade, or search for one. Where to watch — a real link to the service that has it, or a way to book a seat while it is still in theaters. Watchlist — the films you said you would get to. Your DNA — everything you have rated, sorted by conviction, so you can see the shape of your own taste. COMING FROM LETTERBOXD? Import your recent ratings in one step and start with a profile that already knows you. No ads, no autoplay, no infinite feed. CineDNA is a tool for deciding what to watch, not somewhere to spend the evening. Film data and posters courtesy of TMDB.
