Scored from 136 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: Films · 2000s (7,847 peers).
Summary
In a dystopian 28th-century future, ancient machines awaken beneath the Earth and begin transforming humans into monstrous mutants, overwhelming the warring mega-corporations that rule the planet. As humanity evacuates off-world, a small band of soldiers led by a battle-weary captain joins a monk on a desperate underground mission to find and destroy the source of the mutant plague.
Released in 2008, Mutant Chronicles is an action, adventure and mystery film.
The cohort it is ranked inside is 2000s films — 7,847 of them. The calibrated figure is built from 136 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 140 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 1,349 of whom clear the calibration test.
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 Mutant Chronicles 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 · 2000s (7,847 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 136.
