There's just nothing quite like the cinema, wandering from the brightly lit foyer into the darkness of the screening room; The light smell of popcorn and the excited chatter before the film begins. It's cosy, it's intimate and it creates a different mindset. When you go to the cinema you want nothing more than to be engaged and transported.

Sure, watching films at home is fun too, bit the experience is totally different. Homes are filled with a million subtle interruptions, all of which can stack up to effect the overall experience.

Despite this, 2016 is currently on track to be Hollywood's worst year for ticket sales in a century. Yes, you read that right - a century. It's a depressing time for those who love not just movies but the cinema itself.
