Discrepancy Between Weighted and Unweighted Ratings for "Hemisphere"
The unweighted rating for the feature film "Hemisphere" is 5.9, but the weighted rating is only 4.5. Why is there such a significant difference between these ratings? Could IMDb please review this to ensure it is being fairly calculated?

Hello Elizziepassa,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Our voting system already detects and defeats attempts to stuff the ballot and skew the rating, as demonstrated by the difference between the weighted average and the arithmetic mean on the vast majority of titles in the database. For additional information about IMDb ratings and weighted averages, please refer to our FAQ.
Cheers!
