• Genre filters: the new movie pages also give you new ways to explore films by genre and find one you’re in the mood for. Sometimes, you might feel like seeing a sci-fi flick or a romance, but you’re not sure what’s out in theaters. with genre filters you can start browsing right away and quickly find the right movie for you.
