You're using the IMDb.
You've given some hefty votes to some of your favourite films.
It's something you enjoy doing.
And it's all because of this. Fifty seconds. One world ends, another begins.
How can it not be given a ten? I wonder at those who give this a seven or an eight... exactly how could THE FIRST FILM EVER MADE be better? For the record, the long, still opening shot is great showmanship, a superb innovation, perfectly suited to the situation. And the dog on the bike is a lovely touch. All this within fifty seconds.
The word genius is often overused.
THIS is genius.
