You will need an image, and name only to tell search engines you have a movie etety on your webpage. It is a few orange warnings to be fixed. Code below is better if you want a "perfect" example.

There you have it. Added a few useable stuff than just fixing the orange warnings, like actors and musicBy. Notice how you add several actors with [].

Is schema.org/Movie worth it?

Personally I doubt you get any benefits in SERP's or SEO using schema.org/Movie. But if you have a blog or something where you blog about movies/actors etc it is a nice way of giving the search engines a strong signal of what you blog about.

There is far too many high authority sites and Google already have a very good and accurate "movie search" so the basic one is more than enough. Just add director/directors and dateCreated

But if you insist of creating the new IMDb, go nuts :)
