Aggregation and assessment of cinematic works available on a prominent streaming platform utilizes a specific review website’s scoring system. This system, well-known for its “Tomatometer,” assigns scores based on the percentage of professional critics who have rated a film positively. Films on the identified streaming service earning high scores from this aggregator are thus highlighted as critically acclaimed within that platform’s offerings. As an example, a film achieving a score of 95% on the Tomatometer and available on the streaming service would be considered among the highest-rated films on that platform, according to the review aggregator.
The availability of aggregated critical scores offers several benefits. It provides viewers with a readily accessible metric for gauging the perceived quality of films, potentially saving them time by filtering out poorly reviewed content. Historically, viewers relied on individual critic reviews, word-of-mouth, or promotional materials. This aggregation streamlines the decision-making process, allowing for more informed viewing choices. The aggregated scores can also influence the visibility of films on the streaming platform itself, as higher-rated titles may be promoted more prominently.
