Free film and TV poster platform
Athena is a free-to-use lifestyle app designed for film and TV lovers around the world. This entertainment app from the Rocket Propellant team lets you search for films and shows you like. It then returns with movie posters for that particular search keyword. What sets it apart from other similar apps is that it offers all available posters in different languages.
In terms of app layout, Athena is easy and streamlined. It immediately shows you the best shows, which remain in 2021 for some reason. Still, the library is continuously updated and scores are based on Rotten Tomato.
Explore movie posters around the world
One thing to note about Athena is that its library is based on Rotten Tomatoes (RT), a U.S.-based review aggregator for films and TV shows. Still, instead of having to check its website, you can have an idea of whether a movie is good or bad based on its RT rankings, which are taken from both audiences and registered users. The app also follows a five-star rating system.
Aside from the RT scoring system, the app also gives you a lot of information you might need. It has a synopsis included and even shows the cast of characters with photos included. Another nifty feature of this app is that by clicking on a specific cast member, you can see their body of work. Their respective filmography shows all films they’ve worked on throughout their career.
As a free app, it also has ads. In fact, every single time you open it, a full-screen ad shows, although you can skip it and go to the app right away. One minor issue with the app is that it needs to be constantly connected to the internet. It’s unlike other similar apps that, once updated, can work offline. Other than that, it’s reliable, informative, and easy to use.
A top-tier entertainment research platform
More than simply providing movie posters for different films and TV shows, Athena is a full-on entertainment research platform. If you’re looking for something good to watch, it can get you started. It has movie ratings, a quick summary, and a cast of characters that is interactive as well. Basically, you can search for films by title or actors appearing in them. Highly recommended.
