AMC lets you see it on ANY format and lets you reserve seats from the app from anywhere. It's hilariously better.
Depends. How many movies do you actually watch each month that you want to see vs. those you watch because it's part of the pass? And would you want to pay the fee for the movies that you were not interested in to begin with? And suddenly it's something like $20 for two movies.

Unless you watch foreign, independent, limited release, etc. films on the regular - then Movie Pass is the better alternative.
Naw why lmao. I don't understand this response cause it's easy as hell to avoid opening day crowds. This service is still a dirt cheap way to watch many movies a month.
Fathom event movies don't work with AMC. So no, it's not hilariously better.
Last movie I watched using moviepass was bladerunner. I assumed their business model was like that of gyms, where you pay for membership but nobody uses it. If I continue to go to movies as rarely as I do then it would be cheaper to just pay the theater instead of paying an extra $3.50.
MoviePass lets you do that too with e-tickets. I got my Ant-Man ticket at 12:30 a.m. to make sure I had a good seat. And MoviePass lets you see movies in nearly all theater chains. AMC is only better if you only ever go to AMC theaters and watch 3D or IMAX movies often.
I know, but they're still available. The AMC plan only lets you get your tickets from anywhere at AMC theaters, so...
It's also $20 a month.
Compared to MoviePass' $10 a month that can be used at almost any theater.
I still consider MoviePass a better deal, but as we've seen, it was too good to be true.
While this sucks big time, I'll live.
Users being able to waive it once per month is HUGE and a movie ticket still costs 17 dollars in my area so it's still a steal.
If this keeps Moviepass chugging along, then hell yeah. Let's hope it lives for years to come

MoviePass also only allows you to see a movie once. AMC doesn't limited that.
Yeah that's a huge limitation, but so is eticketing. It's limited availability is a pain in the ass.
Moviepass also has restrictions on some Bollywood movies from time to time
I've got multiple AMC theaters near me so AMC A-List works for me. Also, I can schedule and cancel them any time I want to so yeah A-List works for more people I would think.
Yea, I think I'm going to lapse Movie pass this month. Can't do reserve seating and having to drive by the theater to do that is a constant struggle just to see something later on that day.
How can it work for more people if it's more expensive and limited to a single chain? MoviePass works with art house theaters too, so that's a massive amount of theaters it supports compared with just AMC. As I said, if you only ever go there and are not interested in going to any other theater ever and are okay with paying $20, sure, it's better.
why do people keep saying it's $3.43, they just had to put a number as an example
they literally say in the email
Note: the actual Peak Pricing surcharge will vary based on showtime and movie title.
we have no idea yet, it may be way lower for a matinee day of release for example

AMC has Dolby Cinema, which projects the movies with Dolby Vision HDR. No other chain has that. So yea, it's better.
And I live in L.A. and no AMC theater has a real IMAX screen. They're all LIEMAX. The real IMAX screen is at a Cinemark. Don't act like AMC are superior theaters.

The AMC vs Moviepass thing comes down to location I think.
My local AMC for example is nice, has a bar and Dolby. Get your food delivered to your seat as well.

Well, Uber will stay in business whereas MP will not... So is this really accurate?
