easyCinema

The only Lovefilm"powered by" site with pay-per-disc pricing; a great deal for low-volume renters.

This recent venture by easyJet founder Stelios has that trademark simple, orange look, and is powered by the Lovefilm Island engine, so it works well. The site is much cleaner and simpler than the standard Lovefilm one, with fewer menu choices on only a single sidebar. The actual film data and search engine are quite good, as you'd expect on a Lovefilm-powered system. However, as we've stated, before, rather than use a "powered by" affiliate site like this, we suggest you stick with the original company.

Personally, we prefer more options and details, but we realize not all people do, and we applaud easycinema's effort at customizing the Lovefilm engine in more than just looks, simplifying options and menu bars etc. for those who like a sleeker site. The big distinction is easycinema's shift to a pay-per-disc model like Amazon, so easy cinema is a top option for those low volume renters who like the excellent Lovefilm engine, but want the convenience of pay-per-rent tariffs.

Prices: easyCinema offers a 7-day money back guarantee, which due to postal times essentially means you have to decide whether to stay with them after receiving your first set of discs. They use the limited Amazon-style model; 4 Discs per month, 1 DVD at any one time for £7.96 per month, 7 discs per month, 2 DVDs at any one time for £13.93 per month, or for 10 DVD's per month, 3 at any one time for £19.90. The 4-disc rental is cheaper than Amazon, but gets worse at the higher tariffs as they lack a volume price incentive, so it best suits very low volume renters.

One major bonus over Amazon; if you don't use your DVD credits in a given month, you can carry them over up to 90 days.

Featured EasyCinema Customer Review

Evandro from Kennington, November 3, 2006

Easycinema's service is perfect for me and the only pay as you go service i can find, i almost always get my first choice and don't have the worry of yet another direct debit as i top up my account when i want to and can keep the dvds for as long as i want.

the only thing i feel could be improved is the delivery time, i get the discs 1st class but when sending discs back in the pre-paid envelope they are sent 2nd class which delays the next disc for a day longer than necessary

this is the best service for people who may go a week or two with out renting or if you rent once or twice a month then the 4 discs one at a time at £1.99 each would be ideal for you as the pre-paid package lasts for up to 3 month.

Make sure you read the terms and conditions when signing up as they can and will debit your account after 90 days for another batch of credits even if you have not agreed to auto top up.

If you only watch about 1-4 DVDs per month, then easycinema is good value. No need to comit to direct debit, pay for batches of 4 DVDs at a time which will last for 90 days. They use 2nd class postage which means 1-3 days in postage, it takes about 5 days to send back and recieve a new one. However you get more of top DVD choices than other companies, and if you keep your list short even better.

Jon from Milton Keynes, May 2, 2008

The worst company I have ever used for any service. Almost half of the DVDs didn't work properly. Tested on several machines, it took quite some effort to convince them that this was unacceptable. Refunded credits expire at the same time as credits you bought, often leaving very little time to use them. Don't be fooled by the cheap prices, this lot are an absolute joke. I will not be using any LoveFilm powered companies cos I suspect the DVDs are all from the same warehouse. Will be trying Blockbuster despite the price because I've never had any problems renting from their stores.
