How Cini scores Seven Samurai
Star ratings flatten everything into the same 7-or-8. Cini does it differently: instead of asking how many stars Seven Samurai deserves, it asks which films you liked more. A few quick head-to-head comparisons slot Seven Samurai into your personal ranking, and its score out of 10 comes from where it actually lands for you — then Cini predicts how much you'll like what you haven't seen yet.
