Tech Stack Rationale

• Next.js App Router + TypeScript: single codebase for pages and API routes with typed architecture.
• Tailwind CSS: consistent design system and responsive layout without inline styles.
• Framer Motion: card animations, transitions, and cinematic micro-interactions.
• clsx + tailwind-merge: safe conditional utility class composition.
• Axios + Cheerio + Gemini SDK: existing movie/review/AI logic preserved in lib/.

Assumptions

• IMDb ID input must match ^tt\\d{7,8}$.
• API keys are only read from environment variables (.env.local or Vercel env config).
• /api/movie handles movie metadata retrieval and /api/sentiment handles AI sentiment analysis.
