Q09
AI Interview

Probe why the respondent gave the overall rating they did: ask them to describe the specific scene, moment, or performance that most shaped their opinion, and whether it made the movie better or worse. If they rated it highly, find out what almost lost them; if they rated it poorly, find out what almost won them over. Anchor follow-ups on concrete details (a line, a shot, a plot turn) rather than general impressions.

That's a wrap — thank you! Your review feeds into a report on what audiences loved, what fell flat, and what could make the next screening even better.

What’s included

  • AI follow-ups

    Adaptive probes on open-ended answers that pull out detail a static form would miss.

  • Attention checks

    Built-in safeguards against rushed answers and low-quality respondents.

  • AI-drafted copy

    Wording, ordering, and branching written by the AI — tuned to your research goal.

  • Auto report

    Themes, quotes, and a plain-English summary write themselves once responses come in.

How it compares

We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.

Why this template

  • Includes a dedicated AI follow-up interview that probes the specific scene or moment that shaped the respondent's overall rating, not just a static open-text box
  • Combines rating and matrix questions covering story, acting, visuals, and pacing alongside a recommendation likelihood score, so studios get both quantitative and qualitative signal in one flow
  • A ranking question captures which aspects (story, acting, visuals, pacing, etc.) mattered most to the viewer's overall opinion, adding relative-weight insight competitors' static forms don't offer
  • Optional demographic questions plus viewing-context and streaming-frequency questions let festivals/distributors segment reactions without extra survey design work

Jotform

Movie Review Template

A drag-and-drop form template for collecting basic movie ratings and written reviews, aimed at bloggers or small sites rather than studios doing post-screening research. It's a static, fielding-ready form you can customize, but it doesn't dig deeper into respondent reasoning on its own.

What it does well

  • Easy no-code customization within Jotform's form builder
  • Fielding-ready template usable immediately
  • Likely integrates with Jotform's broader form ecosystem (notifications, spreadsheets, etc.)

Where it falls short

  • No adaptive follow-up questioning — respondents can't be probed on which scene or moment drove their rating
  • No automated per-response quality scoring to flag low-effort or inconsistent answers
  • No transparent, published prompt/methodology for how any open-ended responses are analyzed

Typeform

Movie Review Form Template

A conversational-style static form template for collecting movie ratings and reviews, using Typeform's one-question-at-a-time UX. It's ready to field but relies on fixed question logic rather than any real-time follow-up based on what a respondent says.

What it does well

  • Polished, conversational one-question-at-a-time interface
  • Simple to brand and deploy quickly
  • Familiar UX likely to reduce drop-off on short surveys

Where it falls short

  • No AI-driven follow-up to explore why a respondent gave a particular rating
  • No voice interview option or guided screen-share tasks
  • No automated report generation summarizing audience sentiment

QuestionPro

Movie rental survey questions + sample questionnaire template

This is a movie rental/consumption habits questionnaire rather than a post-screening review of a specific film's story, acting, or pacing, so the fit with studio/festival audience-reaction research is only partial. It's presented as a sample question set, useful as a reference but not built for probing reaction to a specific viewing.

What it does well

  • Broad set of pre-written questions on rental and viewing habits
  • Backed by QuestionPro's established survey platform and analytics
  • Useful as a question-bank reference for adjacent movie-consumption research

Where it falls short

  • Focused on rental behavior, not structured to capture reactions to a specific film just watched
  • No adaptive AI follow-up to explore what specifically shaped a respondent's opinion
  • No built-in per-response quality scoring or automated audience-reaction report
