Is the fact that IMDB is owned by Amazon related to the fact that (at least as of now) there are zero ratings or reviews of this thing on Imdb?

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt35291758

Maybe it's too new, but I would have expected something by now

Edit to add: now a few hours later and it has 30 reviews and a 1.0 rating. I guess it was just frozen for a while

Edit (again) to add: So the positive reviews looked like AI to me. So I asked Google Gemini:

How many of the favorable reviews at https://www.imdb.com/title/tt35291758/reviews/?ref_=tt_ururv_sm appear to be AI or the same person posting over and over again under different accounts?


And it helpfully replied (with details omitted here for brevity):

Of the current favorable reviews (ratings of 8–10), approximately 40–50% exhibit characteristics of being "dubious," meaning they are either likely AI-generated, part of a "review bombing" campaign (in reverse), or posted by the same entity using multiple accounts.
