The Spectrum
Where the room converges—and splits.
Official score distribution
How Resonance is calculated
Six judgments. One transparent result.
Score each dimension from 1–10. SpectraFrame multiplies each score by its published influence, then adds the six weighted values. Nothing is hidden, and every breakdown remains inspectable.
Emotional resonance, personal connection, and the strength of the feeling a film leaves behind.
Character depth, performance on the page, relationships, and the quality of dialogue.
Story coherence, pacing, structure, ambition, and how successfully the film realizes its narrative.
Cinematography, composition, production design, effects, costumes, and world-building.
The effectiveness of sound, music, silence, and their contribution to atmosphere and meaning.
Originality, directorial identity, thematic conviction, and the elusive quality that makes the film singular.
Official Resonance reviews
The shared experiment.
These takes use the same six questions and weights, making comparison possible without pretending agreement is required.
All time great sci-fi.
Alternate Projections
Same film. Different instruments.
Custom frameworks ask different questions and assign different weight. They are displayed as personal lenses—not folded into the official Community Projection.
