Summary
I stood by the AMC Stubs A-List subscription for years.
But, when an Alamo Drafthouse location came to my Midwestern hometown, I soon found myself shifting loyalties.
What Is Alamo Drafthouse?
Alamo Drafthouse Cinema
The Alamo Drafthouse is a theater chain with nearly 40 locations nationwide.
It’s what initially drew me to check out the location that opened near me in 2022.
Then, I learned about the Alamo Season Pass.
What Is the Alamo Season Pass?
The Alamo Season Pass is everything I loved about the AMC Stubs A-List subscription, only better.
Instead of three movies a week, the Season Pass gives you one reservation a day.
AMC’s “A-List Entourage” feature pales in comparison (not to mention otherMoviePass alternatives).
Depending on your location, the Alamo Season Pass could cost you as little as $16.99 monthly.
Contrast that with AMC Stubs A-List, which starts at $19.95 and only goes up from there.
Even so, Alamo is working on a version of the Season Pass that will do away with those.
It’s not even that I’m paying less per month for Alamo Season Pass over AMC Stubs A-List.
It’s about the actual movie-going experience, too.
Alamo also has more exciting selections in addition to whatever the week’s new releases are.
It’s enough to squash any fears thatcinema is dying.
The same goes for the strict no-distractions policies, which are handled with politeness and anonymity.
From one avid movie-goer to another, I don’t think you’ll regret your decision.
