Overview

MovieHunt is an interactive visualization to help users find the next movies to watch. The visualization provides both the overall trend of movie ratings from 1987 to 2016, and the connection, defined by common director and actors, between a selected movie and the other ones.

Users can filter the data cases by genres, ratings, year range, and change color encoding based on popularity, gross and budget. They can also explore the movies which share the same director and actors, and see the detail information of each one on the side.
