The price of admission to a movie is just ridiculous, isn’t it? A girl can hardly afford to get a tub of popcorn with her flick anymore. But movie pass eases the pain of the price with a monthly subscription plan. More »

For film buffs who prefer the really big-screen experience, MoviePass seems a no brainer — pay around $30 per month and watch as many movies at the cinema as you want. Now Android users can get the same MoviePass app as their iOS-toting counterparts on Google Play, albeit with the same kickers: its still in beta and is invitation only. There are other constraints too, for now: you’ll need a GPS-equipped smartphone, access is limited to one movie a day, the price goes up from $30 depending on your market and you’ll have to pay with the included MoviePass card — among others. Still, on top of access the app also lets you find showtimes, chart your movie-going, manage rewards, share socially and “even reserve a copy of the film and soundtrack you just saw,” according to the outfit. Anything that encourages us to get out of the house occasionally has to be a good thing, considering all the tech keeping us there.

Would an Unlimited Subscription Get Your Ass Back in a Movie Theater Seat? [Chatroom]

MoviePass launches iPhone app and card combo, takes unlimited viewing to all US theaters
Posted in: Today's Chili 
While MoviePass was in early beta, it got more than a small amount of pushback from theaters that didn’t like someone changing the price formula without their explicit say-so. The company just found an end-run around that conspicuous obstacle. It’s releasing both an iPhone app and a reloadable card that, when combined, let MoviePass’ effectively unlimited subscription model work at just about any US theater. The app unlocks the card for a specific showing; after that, it’s only a matter of swiping the plastic at a payment kiosk like any old credit card. It’s not as sophisticated as NFC or Pay With Square, to be sure, but it should keep the rude surprises to a minimum. Both the iOS app and the card require an invitation to the $30 monthly service if you’re eager to get watching movies today. If either is too limiting, there’s promises of both an Android app and wider availability in the future.
