MoviePass has been making changes to their program since I first signed up a few months ago. Many just small and not an issue, but the last two have got me a little peeved.
First, you now have to waste time sending them photos of your ticket stubs. Not a huge issue, but the fact that my theater doesn’t have the best reception is. I always have to check in well before I hit the lobby or I am not able to check in.
Second, (this is the one that really gets me) you can only see a movie once. EVER. No repeat viewings of movies you like.
Supposedly this is all to stop fraud. Who is trying to fraud MoviePass? The theaters, maybe? Ok so I can see why we need to send them a photo of the stubs for that one.
But why can’t we see a movie more than once? In their eyes it is to get us to see different things. I’m not buying and I don’t like it. Seriously, the stuff out right now is utter crap or I have already seen it.
Up until this time I could have seen 30 movies in the theater in a single month, if I so chose. Now I can only see 1-6 movies a month (because this is the number of choices my local theaters offer in a month. This SUCKS big time.
Hit up the MoviePass home page to see what they say about Any Theater. Any Movie. Any Day. (they need to change their sales pitch now).
