## Overview

Each movie of your catalog has its own page, built from the data Dbmovies imported. From top to bottom, it shows:

1. **The hero**: the backdrop, the poster and the details of the movie.
2. **The rating** and the genres.
3. **The synopsis**.
4. **The buttons**: Watch, Download, Trailer, Share, My list and Details.
5. **Persons**: the director and the cast.
6. **The comments**.
7. **More like this**: related titles.

When a visitor opens a movie from a list, its poster appears right away, and the full-quality image replaces it as soon as it loads.

## The hero

- **The backdrop** changes every 9 seconds between the backdrops of the movie. The button in its corner shows the next one. It stops while the mouse is over it, and it does not change on its own when the visitor's device asks for reduced motion.
- **The poster**, and **the logo of the movie** when it has one, or its title.
- **The original title**, when it is different, and **the tagline**.
- **The details**: year, runtime, countries, age rating, and the quality and language badges. Each country opens its page.

## The rating

Visitors rate the movie with five stars, in half steps: half a star is 1 and five stars are 10. The circle shows the average rating and the number of votes, and **Your rating** shows the visitor's vote. Clicking again changes it.

Visitors without an account can vote too. See [User ratings](https://doothemes.com/docs/dbmovies/modules/user-ratings) for who can vote and how the rating is calculated.

Below the rating, each genre opens its page.

## The synopsis

A long synopsis is cut after a few lines, with **Show more** to read the rest. **More details** opens the details of the movie.

## The buttons

| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| **Watch** | Opens the streaming links of the movie. See [Player and links](https://doothemes.com/docs/wovie/player) |
| **Download** | Opens the download links. See [Player and links](https://doothemes.com/docs/wovie/player) |

| **Share** | Opens the share menu of the device, when the browser has one. Otherwise, it shows **Copy link**, WhatsApp, Telegram, X, Facebook and Email |
| **My list** | Saves the movie to the visitor's list, and changes to **In list**. Visitors without an account go to **Sign in**, and come back to the movie after signing in |

## Details

**Details** opens a window with everything Dbmovies knows about the movie:

- status (**Released** or **Upcoming**), quality and audio language;
- views, original title and, when it applies, adult content;

## Below the hero

### Persons

The director first, then the cast with the character each one plays. Each person opens their page. See [Person page](https://doothemes.com/docs/wovie/pages/person).

### Comments

Members comment on the movie. See [Comments](https://doothemes.com/docs/wovie/pages/comments).

### More like this

Titles related to the movie, with **Load more** to see more. Dbmovies chooses them: first the titles that TMDb recommends for this movie and that are on your site, then titles of the same genres. To change how many load at a time, see [Related content list](https://doothemes.com/docs/dbmovies/settings/core-modules#related-content-list) in the Dbmovies documentation.

## On phones

- The poster heads the page, and the title appears over its lower part.
- The buttons appear below the synopsis, and the player opens inside the page. See [Player and links](https://doothemes.com/docs/wovie/player).

## Where the data comes from

Everything on this page comes from the movie in Dbmovies: its details, images and cast from the import, its badges from [Custom badges](https://doothemes.com/docs/dbmovies/settings/custom-badges), and its links from [Link sources](https://doothemes.com/docs/dbmovies/modules/link-sources). To change something, edit the movie in **Dbmovies › Movies**. See [Movies](https://doothemes.com/docs/dbmovies/post-types/movies).

## Troubleshooting

| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| The Trailer button does not appear | The movie has no trailer. Add its YouTube video in the editor of the movie, in Dbmovies |
| The backdrop does not change | The movie has only one backdrop, or the visitor's device asks for reduced motion |
| More like this is empty | TMDb has no recommendations on your site for this movie, and no other title shares its genres. Import more titles |
| My list sends the visitor to Sign in | It is for members only. After signing in, the visitor comes back to the movie |
