MoviePass is simply not worth the headache or the expense. First, the economics don't add up: buying regular tickets directly from the cinema sometimes costs less out of pocket. Second, their pricing is deceptive. When checking out, the app tacked on a 7-credit surcharge, making the transaction far more expensive than advertised. Finally, when you decide to cancel, your unused credits are instantly forfeited rather than rolling over. So even though i have 33 credits, and the ticket cost 28, the extra 7 credits makes it impossible to buy, and you cant just pay the difference yourself unless you want to buy significantly more credits. Support was completely unhelpful when I reached out. Save your money and skip this scam.

User Reviews
Multiple reviews converge on a core contradiction: MoviePass promises savings but is often financially disadvantageous due to credit costs and online service fees, with many citing it as more expensive than buying tickets outright. Users report a buggy, slow app with login and loading problems, a difficult checkout flow, and poor customer service. Additional pain points include daily usage limits, rapidly expiring credits, and confusing renewal or cancellation processes. Despite some praise for the concept, most reviews describe the service as unreliable and not worth the cost.
Pros
- Potential to save money for frequent moviegoers when credits align with ticket costs.
- The concept and social appeal to movie lovers and families as a 'cool' option for entertainment.
- For some users, MoviePass is seen as a worthwhile investment for film enthusiasts.
Cons
- Hidden online service fees and high credit costs make it financially unattractive and often more expensive than buying tickets.
- The app is buggy and unreliable, with login, loading, and checkout problems that disrupt booking.
- Customer service is poor and unresponsive, with slow responses and chat closures.
- The purchasing flow is convoluted, involving many steps and fluctuating costs (online fees, credit rounds).
- Usage is restricted (one movie per day, credits expire quickly), and renewal/cancellation issues add to the frustration.

When it works it’s great. But too often there is a technical problem and it declines, I end up having to buy the ticket with my normal credit card. Paying for a service that often doesn’t work.
