Used it for 3 months and of the 7 times that I used it, it failed to work 6 times. Each time it failed, I had to call their customer support team to fix the issue with the card (always on their end) resulting in me being late for my movie. The time before I decided to cancel, their system was down and the automated call support center said to "please pay for the ticket email them to receipt and they would reimburse me". After this experience I decided to cancel because it was ABSURD to pay for a service that only worked 10% of the time. Also, when I canceled they wanted to charge me a $75 cancellation fee for breaking their 'annual membership' which I never knew I had signed up for when I began their proposed "monthly subscription". My two other friends who had moviepass both had similar experiences and also chose to cancel. In essence, great idea, terrible execution. They have serious work to do from service to product. Would not recommend until they fix these issues.

@sophiaedm sorry for the bad experience, Sophia. We do list the subscription as an annual plan, maybe that should be made clearer? The technical issues are definitely something we're working to improve right now and looking forward. Appreciate the feedback!

Very limited availability when it comes to participating locations but seems interesting. Edit: @eman21 was kind enough to point out that they are actually at about 93% of locations nationwide. I made a mistake with the map view. Cheers!

@irvingtorresyc It's accepted at most chains (AMC, Regal, BowTie). Although I have seen over the past few years, it drop independence theaters/chains.

@eman21 You know what. I retract my previous comment (edited above). I just realized you guys are indeed in more locations. I went back to the map view. I just wish you guys included 3D films, IMAX, 4D, XD etc but this is still great. Will give it a spin and write a review of it soon.

@eman21 @irvingtorresyc I believe they did an upsell and/or a test for a higher package to include 3d movies. @eman21 pls confirm

@irvingtorresyc @johnmurch can confirm, we're testing with AMC right now. Premium includes 3D, ETX, and IMAX for $45/month. Also includes E-Ticketing and Seat Selection at participating AMCs.

I love this service and they even implemented an idea I suggested. You have to checkin before you purchase your ticket, but going to movies in NYC, you never know before you checkin if it's sold out. They now have a simple solution, if sold out you can now click and checkin to a different movie. Great service and awesome default date night activity. Highly Recommend!

@eman21 my pleasure, one other thought - purchasing tickets in advance, would be a killer feature, especially in NYC. As mentioned by @stefanwild, since you now require a 24 hour window from one movie to the next, you could limit the purchase of a ticket to be 24 hours after the last one. Just a thought :)

@stefanwild @johnmurch yup, advanced ticketing is the dream! We're well on our way with the E-Ticketing/Seat Selection testing I mentioned in the thread with @irvingtorresyc.

@rrhoover has been using Jukely which has a similar model for concerts interesting how for movies the experience can take place on the computer (i'd almost prefer it), whereas with concerts I have to be there in person. That may just be me though, loads of people love going to the movies. The whole saga with "The Interview" challenged that perception though.

@eriktorenberg I was just going to mention Jukely Unlimited, all-you-can-dance concerts for $25/month, which recently launched in SF. I'm a big fan, really enjoyed seeing Stwo a few weeks ago. cc @xBora

@rrhoover @eriktorenberg Would love if you guys gave our "Event Subscription" service which is a mix of Jukely and Moviepass. Subscription service for going out. We've got a few thousand members in SF & NYC. $20/month gets you a pair of tickets to at least 2 events each month (we don't find that people go out more than twice per month so unlimited didn't make sense). Tickets include nightlife, concerts, classes and more. If you don't pick anything, you can get a pair of movie tickets instead. We just put up a sweet new app too: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/...

Hum, something we'd be interested in, but not happy if its annual commitment prior to using it for a month or two. My wife likes going to movies more than I, but I think part of my problem is spending $11 for a movie I'm happy to wait for on Netflix. So all-you-can-eat movies settles that, and it has both indy theaters we'd use fairly often. However I also don't want to deal with issues described by @sophiaedm . Not good on the nights we're able to breakaway and get some personal time.

@golocalapps appreciate the feedback, Ross! After the first 12 months, there's no further commitment, so you can cancel at any time without a fee. There's also a 2 week free trial to see if it would be worth it for you before committing to the full year. Issues with functionality are being addressed and we're committed to lowering our error rate considerably over the next few months. Not a complete solve for your pain points, but hope the info helps!

Wish this was available in Canada! Perhaps less chains = less incentive to participate in an innovative program like this.
