Doesn't Windows have an app for people that are visually challenged?
Really hate this design. Miss the compactness and ease of use of the previous one. Every once in a while it still opens to the old design and I'm always so relieved. I agree with some of the others -- it would have been nice to have a choice.
At the suggestion in some of the comments, I did check out TMDb. Needless to say it misses a lot of the more obscure items and lacks a few of the features (though maybe some of the addons add additional functionality), but it is SO pleasant to look at and work with. Unless IMDb responds to our negative comments, I see myself now splitting my time between the two sites, with a deference to TMDb.
In looking over the other comments, I've yet to find one that compliments the change. That's a pretty strong message in my book, IMDb.

Didn't think it was possible but you just made the site look even uglier. Good job mate.
Another feature literally no one asked for.
What about the new genres?

Nothing to be "excited" about. Another feature no one asked for. What about the new genres?

@Col_Needham "afraid of change" is way overused and is a cop out when companies/people want to force a change and don't care about the opinions of those affected. Sure it exists, and is often correct. But change, as you know is not always good.It's the change that is the problem, not change itself.
Updating technology? Ok, keeping up is good. Just not in the way it was done here. I don't need to replay everyone else's responses, but it's the design and uselessness of the new site that's the bad part of the change, not change itself.

Well, I also had to create an account and take the time to say this, the new design is HORRIBLE!
Why has been said many times already.
I really liked the old version to find what I'm looking for, so naturally in comparison to the old one I HATE the new design and don't really want to use it.
Which is quite a shame, I'm a IMDb member since 2007 and it's one of the few sites I visited multiple times a day, from my PC.
Since they forced the dreadful update on me a few days ago I didn't visit any title pages, I just can't stand it!
It started, when they changed the home page to the awful, just designed for smartphones, look.
Couldn't use it anymore, so I just visited the title pages.
But now the title pages are also screwed up, so the whole page is unusable for me and obviously many other members!
Regarding the actual longtime users, nobody wanted this and nobody needed this!
What a great way to ruin a once awesome website and one of my favourites!
Please add an option to use the old design on proper screens!
THIS is NOT the way!

Does anyone know what's been going on with the lay-out/background colour sceme over the last 24 hours or so? I can't find any information about it or on how to change it. My main window used to be white with black lettering and beige spaces on the sides. Then yesterday the beige changed to some weird coloured nature print and today to black. But now when I search for something (and I need to use it for work a lot) the main view changes to a black with white lettering, which is a real nightmare to read. Then when searching for the next thing, it changes back to white with black lettering, and back to inversed... and so on. Do others experience this problem as well? And where do we find the settings to change it, please? Thank you!

This version really sucks. You have to squint to find the film date and alternative/original title. What was so bad about having both of those the same font size as the original title?

Remember:
if it ain't broke, don't fix it
The new version is much detested and for all the right reasons mentioned by all commenters. If the old version is no longer an option, I will start using Tmdb and avoid IMDb at all cost.

Hello. I want the old layout...If I use Firefox browser I get the old one, but If I use Opera browser I get the new one that honestly I hate, no offense to whoever spent time working into it but it's not good. How come when I enter with firefox ( browser I don't like to use ) I'm getting the old layout and if I use Opera ( the browser I want to use ) I get this new thing? I don't want to open firefox to ONLY use imdb.
Please consider going back on the changes, and let me know if there's something I can do to change it.
Thanks.

I really do not like the new format of IMDB. Everything about it is so bad I don't even want to use it at all anymore, and I have always used it quite often for many years. I hope it is returned to the old format, and returned to it soon, as that really was perfect just the way it always has been.

HORRIBLE layout. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go back or at least have the option to use whatever one we want. Sure I'm not a person that likes changes in general, most of the time I hate all changes ( if it's working why change it...) but this one... my god, it's so bad it makes me puke

Please allow me to go back to the old page, like how reddit allows you to view the old layout. It is terrible.
