Blockbuster.com Review

Today the speed of mobile devices grows and the resolution of the screen gets bigger and bigger. Many people prefer to watch a movie then they are travelling or just can’t watch the film on normal TV. The movie watching on mobile devices is pleasant and has almost no troubles. The main problem might be to find an interesting video and to convert it to the right format for your mobile device. Today we decided to offer you a site called blockbuster.com.

Site provides:

Movies.
On the main page you can see thousands of films. They are categorized and have clear structure so you will not get lost. One of the targets of this site is to provide you necessary information about the film. This is done by reviewing the site and collecting the votes of users. There are some different options like comments or in some cases even the general information about the plot and the actors will be enough to decide, is it a right film for you or not.
Rent
If you like the film, you can rent it. How does it works ? There are two options, you can rent a new disk or previously viewed one. The price difference is usually very small. The disk will come to you by mail.
Buy.
The site offers you to by modern films and the most interesting films. There almost all new films. You can get them for you as a new unboxed one, or as previously viewed. Here the prices are quite different.
Games
If the films are not enough for you, you can do the same thing with the games. There are new unboxed games and already played games.
Mobile version
In the case you have no computer at home. You can use your mobile phone to visit the site this doesn’t really matter because you will get the almost the same search options. And after finding the right movie you can buy it or rent, directly from your phone.

Mobile downloading
If you don’t need the disk. Or if you want to wait for such a long time you can download the movie. Here is nothing special to say many site’s offers you to download the movie to a computer. But blockbuster.com offers you to download it directly to your phone or mobile device. Let’s clarify why it is a great plus? Today the speed of WIFI is usually the same as the speed of your wired connection. If still you WIFI router is quite slow you should not worry because the file for mobile version is usually 3-5 times smaller, this is because of lower resolution. Mobile screens have are smaller and they don’t require high resolutions. So you will not spend much time for downloading it. Many clients of cell providers have unlimited 3G or 4G Internet. This will help you to download the movie even faster and you should not sit and wait until it’s finished. You can do it even if you are traveling (but please don’t try it if you abroad, the roaming costs can be a bad surprise for you). And the last but not the least is no need to convert the video file. You already get the file ready to play on your phone or other mobile devices.

Site drawbacks.

Reviews and info
Today there are many sites which gives you much more interesting reviews and more précised information about the film. The best example of such site is imdb.com. Here blockbuster.com can’t be a concurrent.
Trailers
The other problem are trailers unfortunately not all the films have trailers or many screenshots. The trailer gives you much more information than general descriptions or photos.
Rent.
Not all films you will find on the site is possible to rent or to buy. If the owners of the service don’t have it at the moment it will be displayed.

Site summary and verdict

The blockbuster.com 7 years ago was the leader on the market, number of clients was huge and it was very profitable company. But after the company filed for bankruptcy in 2010, the situation didn’t really improve. We can’t advice this site to you because there are better variants on the market. This is not a unique service and probably not the best one but it can be used by people who don’t want to spend hours searching for a film. The site is easy to use and it’s quite colorful these are main aspects what the general user can need. Talking about the prices if you just rent a disk this will be a good option for you to save some money.

Verdict. simple but in some cases very useful service for entertaining

Our mark: 5/10
