MoviePass app comes to Android with $30/mo unlimited theater access, caveats

[![MoviePass brings unlimited theater access to invited Android film buffs for $30mo ](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/02/moviepass-2-5-13-01.jpg) ](http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/05/moviepass-app-comes-to-android/)

For film buffs who prefer the _really_ big-screen experience, [MoviePass](http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/28/moviepass-wants-to-be-netflix-but-for-theaters/) 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](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/02/moviepass-launches-iphone-app-and-card-combo/) 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](http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/14/ces-2013-hdtv-and-connected-devices-round-up/) keeping us there.
