Certainly better than just renting the movie with the only draw back that its more difficult to get the new releases so if you like to watch the lastest you will still have to buy them / rent them. This would be cooler if they had a bigger international following because then you could buy and trade movies that are obviously more difficult to just go intot he store and buy. There are some foreign films to choose from but the choice is limited. Also the foriegn films are not categorised. The search engine needs improvement!
