Made it only one month with Sinema.

Between signing up and waiting for the account to be activated, they went to a 'cardless' only system which required you to buy tickets through Atom Movie Service or another one that I don'recall the name. This incurred a per ticket processing fee which could be avoided if you connected through Facebook. Doesn't this sound fun jumping through Sinema, Facebook, and then Atom to complete the purchase.

Also because of this cardless process, you could only go to theaters that participated with these online movie purchase systems which limited you to the closest theater; AMC in Leesburg. At this point, it would be easier to just use the AMC plan (but won't).

Right after I quit, they resumed the ability to use a card which I assume is like MoviePass and maybe could be used at the Villages theaters, but who knows. Not worth the headache.

I think the great deal for us on these movie passes has lived its life. I have read that AMC's plan is struggling to survive.
