What makes a great film?
It’s got to be one that’s engaging enough to keep your eyes glued to the screen.
And while there are numerous ways to watch films these days — from streaming sites like Netflix and HBO — on your laptop or smartphone or home theatre, nothing beats enjoying it on the big screen with great sound and snacks!
It’s time to head back to the cinema hall and be transported to a different world.
