List of pros n cons of the new movie pass $10 offer for newbies

[Quickgun_murugan]

Here are some of the advantages and disadvantages of using MoviePass as told by people who have tried the service and stopped, and others who swear by it:

Advantage: It’s actually a great deal

Ticket prices for movies are only rising. And, until Tuesday’s announcement, MoviePass offered essentially the same plan as it does now, but for $50 per month. For true film lovers, that’s still a steal. Now, you only need to watch two movies per month to feel like you’re getting your money’s worth (only one, if you live in a major metropolis).

Drawback: No 3D or Imax

The MoviePass system does not extend to special formats like 3D or Imax. If you’re a hardcore Christopher Nolan fan, you’ll still have to shell out to see “Dunkirk” how it was meant to be seen. 

Advantage: No blackout dates

The service is available for use every day of the year. As long as there are tickets available, one of them can be yours.

Drawback: Must buy onsite

Were you one of those people who bought “Force Awakens” tickets weeks in advance? That’s not really an option with MoviePass. To select a showtime, you have to check in on the app, which only works within 100 yards of the location. That makes it tough to buy ahead of time, so that midnight premiere might have to come out of pocket.

Advantage: Available at most theaters, even indies 

MoviePass says it’s available in over 91% of all theaters in the U.S. That extends to big chains including AMC, Regal Cinemas, and Cinemark, but also smaller houses like the IFC in New York and Quentin Tarantino’s New Beverly for Angelenos. However, some pushback may be coming — later Tuesday, AMC released a statement objecting to the deep discount.

Drawback: No premium theaters like the ArcLight or Landmark

If you’re one of those people who need a screen consultant on hand just in case you’re unhappy with the quality of the image, you might be out of luck. Among that small percentage of theaters that aren’t in on the deal are … well, let’s just say exactly the chains you would expect.

Advantage: Your conscience is clean

The company reports that it works by buying movie theater tickets for its subscribers directly from exhibitors at whatever price they offer. That means that MoviePass is operating at a loss, and playing the long game.  Sure, most movie theater owners would rather you buy their own loyalty programs. But if you balked at the idea for fear of ripping off your local indie picture house, feel free to proceed sans guilt.

Drawback: Solo ticket buyers only

MoviePass works best for loners. Since you are only able to buy your own ticket, if you like seeing movies in large groups (and want to sit together), it isn’t especially useful. Even two MoviePass users can’t buy tickets in one order. At least for now, it’s single tickets only. Which could make a date to the movies a little less romantic.

Advantage: Track your progress

The app keeps track of the movies you watched and when you watched them. That makes it easy to recall all your terrible choices, and think how easy it would be to write your end-of-year lists!

Drawback: The app can be buggy

Since it requires your phone to use location services, it can freeze if the reception at the theater is bad. It will probably only be a minor nuisance, but it’s something to consider.

Bonus: A magic debit card

Maybe you’re not easily amused by technological advances. But when you sign up for MoviePass you are mailed a debit card. When you purchase your movie ticket at the theater, your personal card is automatically loaded with the precise amount that you need to buy your ticket. Come on, admit it — that’s pretty cool.

On Tuesday, MoviePass announced it slash its rate to $9.95 a month. The service, which allows subscribers to see one film a day in theaters, saw such a spike in interest that its website crashed because of the traffic.

As someone who has been using the service for over a year and saw his rate cut from $50 a month, I was thrilled. I love going to the movies, and I'm happy to know that now more people will be making their way to their local cinema.

For those who just signed up, or for anyone who is still on the fence about joining the service, here's how seeing a film through MoviePass works.

 

There are two components to MoviePass: the smartphone app and the physical card it sends you once you sign up. After you receive your card, you can create an account in the app and begin watching movies.

When you open the MoviePass app, you'll find a list of theaters near you. If you want to see other theaters available through your subscription, simply change the ZIP code to your desired location.

Selecting a theater brings up a list of showtimes. MoviePass does not let you look at different dates, so you can browse only the current day's times.

MoviePass works for only standard films, so any Imax or 3D showings will be grayed out, and you will not be able to select them.

To ensure that only the subscriber is the one using the service — and not, say, a friend or family member — MoviePass will not let you check in at a movie until the GPS on your smartphone senses that you are within 100 yards of the theater.

This becomes an issue when you want to see a popular movie that you know will be sold out. Instead of buying a ticket from home in the morning, you have to go to the theater to purchase it.

 

Once you're near the theater, select your showtime. Here, I've selected an afternoon showing of "Dunkirk" at the AMC Loews theater closest to Business Insider's offices.

Hit "check in," and the app will inform you that the funds have been transferred to your MoviePass debit card. Occasionally, the app will require you to enter the last four digits of your card number to authenticate the purchase.

After that, use your MoviePass card as you would an ordinary debit card.

After you've enjoyed your film, MoviePass adds it to your "viewing history" page. The only thing left to do is watch another one tomorrow.
