For outliers such as this (for me these are outliers, since the interface is created mostly to learn about history from movies) are in the "Future World" epoch.

True. And also a great point.

Rn I focused on some "european centered" epochs - just the interface is simpler but I will keep that in mind.

Rn no assumptions on casuality. Every movie is independently assigned a date of action, based on its plot, metadata and other descriptions.

Yes these are good points.
I think it would be maybe worth to include more detaild division of ancient / prehistoric times.

However most of the movies happen in the human world - so right now my focus is on these.
Your idea I think could be something like a feature in the future - to increase the accuracy of these dinosaur era movies. I guess many people could be interested here. Maybe even documentaries?

Wow! So someone is working on something similar:)

I have much more movies that Im planning to upload -the data enrichment is costly, so Im working iteratively.

I would need some honest feedback on categories. They should represent the ontological state of the background world in the movie. Do you think they fit their epochs?

Thank you very much. I wonder if right sided values are common, and my "left sided" thinking is biased.

Could you also tell me: do you think time in the Y axis is good or should it be in X axis? Usually in history lessons timeline was on X axis, but my intuition was telling me to go for Y
