Movie Preview Extension

- Why this app was created?
- For reducing the amount of action to get valuable movie information

With help of movie-preview extension, you will get brief information from several meaningful resources like IMDB, Rottentomatoes, Metacritic and immediately receive a link for IMDb page with selected movie

I often find interesting movies in different resources, like youtube, Facebook, inside comments on different resources, some newstellers, and all the time I need to do a lot of action to check this movie rating or find IMDB page, like copy-paste to google
search, finding IMDB link or another valuable resource, open it.

With this application, you could just select movie title on the different page during you surfing and get brief and valuable information immediately

This app created for removing this step with the copy-pasting movie name, google search or IMDb. And give a small piece of information should you even do these copy paste movements.
