I can't go to the cinema since my ABI, shame: loved big screen. Can't even concentrate on DVDs at home now: way too overloaded and stressed. Bought Skyfall but too frantic and couldn't keep up or understand it, sad.

Wasn't sure how I would be.Had a problem with the sound for the first ten minutes-loud but muffled then my ears adjusted.Put finger in good ear a few times for the louder scenes!Seats have improved a lot-could feel springs!Its a two hour movie so I fidgetted a lot-few people in so could sit apart from the rest and the darkness covers up the fidgetting/leg spasms.Lovely hot chocolate!Toilets in foyer!I would be happy to go again if there was something I really wanted to watch.By the time it comes out on DVD you may have improved some. x

I do love cinema, the way it gently takes over all your senses makes my mind rest very well

An obvious exception is for non-English language films. Living in Spain it's surprisingly hard to tell beforehand what language the film will be in. Last film I went to see turned out to be in English, French and Portugese with Spanish subtitles!

You get a swipe card and everything you buy, tickets and food and drink get points. There is also a card giving cheaper tickets for people on disability allowance and carers get cheaper tickets too.

Thats a shame-if you could sit at the back would it help if you could stand up and stretch your legs awhile?

Would getting an aisle seat help? My right knee is shot so I try to get a right hand side aisle seat so I can strech it out into alley way (not during in and out time (although admit to being tempted sometimes) although if it's both legs it probably wouldn't work.

SOme theatres have wheelchair spaces on the aisle with a seat behind or to the side. It might just be worth asking before going.

On the sillier side, if you've got an understanding partner you could alway get them to take seat in front and use their shoulders for support. Harder to share the sweeties that way though.
