See IMDb Ratings on Netflix — Without Leaving the Page

Every movie night starts the same way. You open Netflix, find something that looks interesting, then open a new tab to check if it is actually good. You search for the title on IMDb, scan the rating, maybe check Rotten Tomatoes too, then go back to Netflix. Repeat for the next title. And the next one. Thirty minutes later, you have spent more time researching than watching.

CineMan eliminates that entire loop. The moment you browse Netflix, Prime Video, or Disney+, IMDb ratings and Rotten Tomatoes scores appear directly on every title card. No new tabs. No searching. No friction. You see the numbers right where you make the decision.

How It Works

Getting started takes less than a minute. There are exactly three steps, and the third one happens automatically.

Step 1: Install the Extension

Add CineMan AI to Chrome from the Chrome Web Store. The extension is lightweight and free. No account creation, no email, no sign-up form. You click "Add to Chrome" and you are done.

Step 2: Browse Any Supported Platform

Open Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, or Disney+ Hotstar as you normally would. CineMan detects the streaming platform automatically and activates its overlay.

Step 3: See Ratings Instantly

As you scroll through rows of titles, IMDb scores and Rotten Tomatoes percentages appear on each card. Hover over a title for more detail, or simply glance at the numbers to decide whether something is worth your time. There is nothing to click, nothing to configure, and nothing to remember.

Supported Streaming Platforms

CineMan currently supports three major streaming services, with the same seamless overlay experience on each:

• Netflix — Full support across browse pages, search results, and title detail pages. Ratings appear on standard cards, bob cards (the expanded previews), and category rows.
• Amazon Prime Video — Ratings overlay on browse and search views. Works across the Prime Video catalog whether you access it through the standalone site or the Amazon integrated player.
• Disney+ / Hotstar — Full overlay support on browse and detail pages. Covers the combined Disney+ Hotstar catalog in regions where the services are merged.

Each platform has its own layout quirks, card sizes, and DOM structure. CineMan handles all of that behind the scenes so the experience feels native regardless of which service you are on.

What Ratings Are Displayed

CineMan shows two primary ratings on every title:

• IMDb rating — The familiar 1-to-10 score based on user votes. IMDb is the largest movie rating database in the world, with millions of votes per popular title. The score gives you a quick sense of overall audience reception.
• Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer — The percentage of professional critics who gave a positive review. A 90% RT score means 9 out of 10 critics recommended it. This is particularly useful for genres like comedy and horror, where IMDb scores tend to underrate quality films.

You can toggle each rating source independently. If you only care about IMDb scores, turn off Rotten Tomatoes. If you prefer the critical consensus, show only RT. Both are on by default.

Why This Is Better Than Checking Manually

The obvious answer is speed. But there are subtler advantages:

• Context matters. Seeing ratings on every title in a row lets you compare films side by side. A 7.8 looks different when it is sitting next to a 5.2 versus a row of 8.0+ titles.
• You discover more. Without the friction of tab-switching, you check ratings on titles you would have scrolled past. That obscure foreign film with no recognizable cast? Turns out it has an 8.1 on IMDb and 95% on RT.
• No algorithm gaming. Netflix's own percentage match is based on what Netflix wants you to watch. IMDb and RT scores are independent, third-party ratings based on actual viewer and critic opinions.

Privacy: Everything Stays Local

CineMan does not collect, store, or transmit your viewing data to any server. The extension fetches rating data from public APIs and caches it locally in your browser using chrome.storage.local. Your browsing activity on Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+ is never sent anywhere. There is no account to create, no analytics tracking your behavior, and no data to sell. The extension works entirely within your browser.
