i haven't seen this movie vs i didn't see this movie

The phrases are both correct, but they would be used in dissimilar contexts. 'I haven't seen this movie' is used when referring to a movie you have not yet watched, indicating a present perfect tense. 'I didn't see this movie' is used when referring to a specific past time when you did not watch the movie, indicating a simple past tense.
