Eye in the Sky
Scored from 350 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: Films · 2010s (13,059 peers).
Summary
A British colonel commanding a multinational drone operation in Nairobi tracks a cell of high-value terrorists preparing a suicide bombing. When a young girl enters the strike zone moments before launch, military officers, politicians, and the American drone pilot become locked in an agonizing debate over the legal, political, and moral cost of pulling the trigger.
Released in 2015, Eye in the Sky is an action, drama and thriller film.
350 IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 358 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. The cohort it is ranked inside is 2010s films — 13,059 of them. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 956 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Eye in the Sky lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2010s (13,059 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 350.
