I hadn’t been to the cinema in years so it was perfect.

I had not been to the cinema for like 3-4 years and normally I would not treat myself to go. But I got this for a Christmas present and went to go an watch the new James Bond film it was very cool with my girlfriend. The process of getting the code to then book the tickets was very simple and self explanatory. So I would recommend this as a present to anyone particularly someone who does not go to the cinema very often.
