Review: Redbox Instant By Verizon

I have mentioned before that I am a BzzAgent. This means I test items for little to no money and then give my opinion to BzzAgent's website! They go through all of their reviews and then give the feedback to the company that owns each item. The following is a review on Redbox Instant By Verizon!

I have come to find that I enjoy a lot of the features of Redbox Instant! I have been able to watch movies I had not yet seen and also ones that I have been wanting to see for a long time! I have also found movies I never even knew existed!

Even though I can not currently watch the movies on my computer (my computer does not like the player they use for some reason) I am able to watch on my phone and I love that! I also have my oldest son set up to use it on his computer and my husband as well! Here are some of the facts given to me by BzzAgent...

1. The $8/month subscription gives you the best value for your bucks: unlimited streaming + 4 DVD credits per month (1 DVD credit = 1 night rental) to use at over 40,000 Redbox locations nationwide.

2. You don’t have to be a Verizon customer to sign up for the service, but you do need high-speed internet access to use it.

3. You can weigh in on what would make Redbox Instant even better and report any service issues via the Help Center at redboxinstant.com

4. Instantly stream Hollywood mega-hits to any internet-connected device, including smartphones (iPhone and Android), tablets, computers and Samsung Smart TVs and Blu-ray Players.

5. The Redbox Instant by Verizon app is limited to certain devices, but is not needed to stream content.

6. You can buy and rent movies digitally without a subscription, including today’s newest releases.

7. Browse Redbox locations and reserve movies at the box of your choice using the app, too!

For $8 per month I think this is going to be worth it! Knowing us, we will only rent kid movies from the kiosk with those 4 DVD credits (the price is different for blu-ray rentals and the credits for them, $9 instead of the $8). I think we are going to be happy with what our $8 is going to get us!

The following are some of the movies I have enjoyed so far... 

Wake... A movie I was unaware of ever even existing and I am glad I found it! I love Ian Somerhalder in The Vampire Diaries (he plays Sexy Vampire Damon Salvator) and I also love him without all of his Vampire Super Hotness! LOL! Great Movie! Slightly Morbid... But it is good! Ha ha!
Thor! A pretty dang good movie as well. I was on the fence about watching this one. I was not sure I wanted to and now I am happy I did! Loved it!
 I found this one in the subscriptions and the main reason I watched it is for another of my beloved TVD (The Vampire Diaries) actors... Torrey Devitto! She is Dr. Fell on TVD and also married to co-star Paul Wesley, Vampire Hottie Stefan Salvator! This is a great movie about friendship! Has some pretty funny moments!
Another one I happened to stumble upon. I am also a huge Anna Paquin fan! Her put together with Josh Duhamel and Katie Holmes made this a pretty good flick. Sort of slow at times and different, but it is a good movie as well! I have not found one I didn't truly like yet. Some I couldn't get behind, but not ones I didn't like!


I believe that is it for my review here! This is in Beta testing still so you must have the invite codes to use it. However, once it is out there and going I hope a lot of people take advantage of this awesome website and app! I will be!
