In the example given, you should say "I saw the move yesterday." You could say "I have (I've) seen the movie already," but you wouldn't use the word yesterday with it.
Have seen is the present perfect, and had seen is the past perfect. The past perfect is used to refer to an earlier point in time than some specific past time. For example: When I watched Indiana Jones 2, I hadalready seen Indiana Jones 1. In this example, you are talking about the past (when you saw Indiana Jones 2) but want to speak about something even farther in the past. So you need to use the past perfect. Both the present perfect and the past perfect deal with already completed actions.
