I was a huge moviepass fan until moviepass changed the rules to make it impossible to use the plan. I was happy before then - I went to about 3 movies a month. In December, I started hearing about Sinemia. I decided to give it a try, and I'm really happy I did! It's much better for me than moviepass. I can go to any theater. No network... I'm loving getting to purchase seats at Arclight cinemas (I don't know if these are anywhere outside of Los Angeles). These aren't in the moviepass network. They are great theaters with reserved seats. It's $7.99 a month to go to any 3 movies a month if you pay a full year in advance. No blackout dates or times. Any movie, any theater, any time. I did the family pass. Still $7.99 per month per person. But I can take anyone with me. So I got a two member pass, and I sometimes go with my partner and sometimes with my son or daughter. Works in all cities, so when I visited my daughter at her college last week, we went to a movie using the membership. So far, so good. Just a few things about Sinemia... If you are deciding between Sinemia and Moviepass, it's best to pay an extra $15 per person (one time charge to get the physical Sinemia charge card. It makes it so there are no fees from Sinemia when you purchase tickets. (If you use Fandango, you do still have to pay the Fandango fees - same with any online ticket service, but you don't pay any fees to Sinemia. You just use the card from them. It was a little tricky the first time I used it to figure out the system... You have to find the movie you want to go to, then input the theater and time of the movie into Sinemia. Sinemia then activates your physical card for use as a charge card. Then you purchase the tickets with the card. You have to remember to "Check in" to the movie when you are at theater on the Sinemia app.
If you have any questions about Sinemia, I'm happy to answer! I think there is some way I can get people a $10 discount (I think I get a discount and you get a discount.). But I didn't post this to get the discount!! I'm just happy with the service and wanted to share. I got to see Into the Spiderverse at the ArcLight Cinerama dome in Los Angeles, (Tickets normally $17.50), Bohemian Rhapsody at the Sherman Oaks ArcLight (also normally $17.50 tickets) and The Kid Who Would Be King in San Luis Obispo ($13.50 tickets) the first month. We just started our second month of the membership, and I am looking forward to going out more often.
Before Moviepass and Sinemia, I went to movies about 4 times a year. It was just too expensive for a movie experience - and I enjoyed using Goldstar to see actual plays for about the same cost. Now I go to movies and plays. It's been a nice change.
