The homepage of "MoviesTitan" will feature an interactive galaxy of movie posters. Users can navigate through a starry sky where each star represents a movie or TV show. Hovering over a star will display a brief synopsis and rating, while clicking will open a detailed page with trailers and reviews. This concept will be brought to life using @react-three/fiber for 3D rendering and gsap for smooth animations and transitions.

The landing page will utilize a "parallax" interaction model, creating a layered depth effect as users scroll through the site.
