Filmoria: Frequently Asked Questions

British movie news & reviews

Where can I find the latest British movie news?

In Movie News, updated through the day — casting, UK release dates, box office, production news and the industry stories worth knowing about. The wider Movies section pulls news, reviews and features together in one feed.

Does Filmoria review new UK cinema releases?

Yes. Movie Reviews covers new films as they reach UK cinemas, each with a star rating and a named reviewer. If it is getting a proper UK release, the aim is to have a verdict up around the time you can actually buy a ticket.

What makes Filmoria a British movie site rather than another US one?

UK release dates, UK certificates and UK availability are the default frame of reference, not an afterthought bolted onto an American release calendar. British films, British talent and UK festival coverage get proper space alongside the Hollywood output everyone covers.

Are Filmoria film reviews spoiler-free?

Reviews are written so you can read them before seeing the film. Where a plot point genuinely has to be discussed, it is flagged first — you will not walk into a twist unannounced.

How are film reviews scored?

Most carry a star rating next to the write-up, so you can take the verdict at a glance and read the reasoning if you want it. The rating reflects the reviewer’s honest opinion of the film, nothing else.

Can I browse movies by genre, year or actor?

Yes — the movie database lets you browse by genre, by release year or through the Top 50 movies list, with synopses, ratings, cast and UK streaming availability on every film page.

OTT & streaming news and reviews

What does OTT mean on Filmoria?

OTT is “over-the-top” — anything delivered straight over the internet rather than through a traditional broadcaster. In practice it is the OTT section: Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV+, NOW, iPlayer and the rest, covering both series and streaming-first films.

Where do I find the latest OTT and streaming news?

OTT News carries renewals, cancellations, new-season dates, platform announcements and what is arriving on each UK service.

Does Filmoria review streaming series?

Yes — OTT Reviews covers new and returning series as well as streaming-only films, with the same star ratings and named bylines as the cinema reviews.

Which streaming services does Filmoria cover in the UK?

The ones people here actually pay for: Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV+, Paramount+, NOW, BBC iPlayer and ITVX, plus the smaller services when they land something worth your time.

Are streaming reviews based on a full season or the first episode?

Each review says what it is based on. Where a platform only releases the opening episodes to press, that is stated up front rather than passed off as a verdict on the whole season.

How do I find out where to watch a film in the UK?

Every film page in the movie database has a Where to Watch (UK) panel showing which services currently have it to stream, rent or buy in the UK. Availability moves around, so it is worth a check before you settle in.

Gaming news & reviews

Does Filmoria cover gaming news?

Yes — Gaming News covers announcements, release dates, delays, studio news and the bigger industry stories, all within the wider Gaming section.

Are Filmoria game reviews scored?

Yes. Gaming Reviews run the same way as the film and OTT coverage: a named writer, a star rating, and a verdict written after actually playing the thing rather than watching a trailer.

Which platforms does Filmoria review games on?

PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and PC, with the review stating which version was played — performance can differ enough between them to matter.

How long after release does a game review appear?

When the game has had enough hours put into it to say something useful. Some land on launch day, some take a week — a 60-hour RPG does not get judged on an afternoon.

Does Filmoria publish sponsored or partner content?

Occasionally, mostly around gaming, betting and lifestyle. It is identifiable from the subject matter, it is kept separate from editorial, and it never touches a review score.

Upcoming movies, OTT shows & games

Where can I see upcoming movies?

Two places: Upcoming Movies for written previews of what is coming and why it matters, and the upcoming movies list for a live, date-ordered grid of confirmed releases, soonest first.

Where can I find upcoming OTT releases?

Upcoming OTT Releases tracks what is landing on Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV+, Disney+ and the other UK services — new series, returning seasons and streaming-first films.

Where can I find upcoming games?

Upcoming Games covers the major releases ahead across PS5, Xbox, Switch and PC, including the ones that have quietly slipped a year.

How often are the upcoming release lists updated?

The upcoming movies grid is generated live and only ever shows titles dated today or later, so it cannot go stale. The written previews are revised as dates firm up or move.

Do you list UK release dates specifically?

Yes, and it matters — UK dates often differ from US ones, sometimes by months. Where a film or series lands here on a different date, that is the date given.

Where can I watch the latest trailers?

In Trailers — new trailers and teasers embedded with a short write-up on cast, plot and when you can actually see it.

About Filmoria
