Moviora Plays Ten Questions To Help You Pick A Flick

Whenever my friends and I get together for a movie party, the toughest part of the evening is collectively deciding what to watch. There?s always one person that shoots a good suggestion down with a curt, ?I?m not in the mood for that?. Moviora is an app that aims to make that process a little easier. It?s a strange thing. Streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Instant Video certainly provide a plethora of video content for our viewing pleasure, but oftentimes the biggest challenge is narrowing down all of those options to just one title. Netflix offers a list of recommendations by sifting through our viewing history, but it?s far from perfect. I?ve watched a lot of stupid crap, and so have all of my other friends I share my Netflix account with. More often than not, my searching on Netflix will end up in mired in a list of obscure, low-budget B-movie titles that I have no intention of ever watching. Moviora is an app that attempts to discern what we?re in the mood for watching by essentially playing a game of ten questions. For example, it asks if you?re in the mood for a ?drama?, and you narrow the choices down by answering yes or no. Once you?re cycled through these prompts five to six times, you?re provided with a movie recommendation, along with a trailer, some reviews from Rotten Tomatoes, and links to the film on Netflix and iTunes. When I answered ?yes? to drama, ?no? to comedy, ?yes? to romance, ?yes? to action, and ?yes? to adventure, it provided me with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which is actually a movie I haven?t watched yet and wouldn?t mind seeing at all. It doesn?t always provide you with the perfect choice, but there?s an addictive quality to the ten questions aspect and it?s certainly a lot better than aimlessly meandering through Netflix?s movie titles. You can try out Moviora for yourself at their website here. The app is currently a free download in the iOS App Store.
