Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Better than going to the movies
The movies available are new and up to date. It is easy to navigate through and the movies available are inexpensive.
CinemaNow is gaining some ground in digital distribution. It links with UltraViolet, which is ok, but I still am not 100% on the cloud-streaming format. What makes this only mediocre for me is that the selection of CinemaNow is still barely minimal. Mostly only new releases, movies and TV-wise. Also, next to no anime at all, which is a big thing for me.
This isn't the first time I've used the CinemaNow gift cards and it won't be the last. They're pretty straight forward, they allow me to rent/purchase online movies and tv shows without supplying my credit card information and I like that option.
However, more important to me is the ability to download movies and watch them offline. I was in a place with very limited and unreliable internet and CinemaNow is the best option I've found to watch recent movies in that situation.
