Films can be watched in HD on Premier and Sky Screen 1, however the channels are still in standard definition, however this is likely to change in the coming years, as we make the move to HD programmes. These HD channels are more cost, and require you to have the Sky HD box. If you have Sky+ then you can pause, record, rewind your favourite movies so you ... more

Sky Movies is another of the Sky packages that I really do enjoy very much and is certainly a package that offers much choice in the different variety of movies that it shows throughout its many different movie channels.

Sky Movies is Sky's very own collection of broadcsted movies. The main channel of the collection of around 15+ is the Sky Movies Premiere and HD channels. On Sky Movies Premiere there is around three new movies broadcast throughtout the week. Once the week is over these movies are spread throughout the other channels such as- Comedy, Action, Horror, Drama etc. Generally movies appear on Sky Movies about a year after they are released in the cinema, so there isn't that long of a wait. The movies shown on Sky Movies are as you would expect, the best there is. Such as - Harry Potter, Pixar Animated Movies, Click, etc If you ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Sky Movies in general (255 words)

SKY MOVIES comprises all of the Sky movie channels broadcast on the Sky Digital satellite television system in the UK. Together these are known as the 'Movies Mix' and need to be subscribed to collectively, the viewer cannot subscribe to them as individual channels. The price of subscription differs depending on the complete package you receive, but personally I receive the 'Movies Mix' and the 'Variety Mix' and pay £34 each month, although the 'Variety Mix' alone would cost £16 per month. I am therefore paying £18 per month for the privilege of receiving the Sky Movies package. The 'Movies Mix' consists of a variety of channels, including those devoted to ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Sky Movies: The 2nd Movie Division (549 words)
by - written on 22/07/03 (Very useful, 51 readings)
Rating:

On Sky Digital you have about 10 channels devoted to movies, that doesn't include the likes of SCI-FI etc also showing movies on a regular basis. So if you like films then you're bound to be spoilt for choice. In a previous opinion I've said that Sky Premier is the place to find the films of the last 18-months that were big hits. Moviemax is the place to find those films that weren't anywhere near hits. Moviemax could be called the B-movie channel as a lot of it's output is made up of that stuff that goes direct to the bottom shelf of your local video shop. I'm talking about the stuff with pumped up titles like 'Maximum Force' ...  Read the complete review
