If you feel your Cinema isnt suitably accessible then why not send them this info?!
A single wheelchair space shall be at least 36" wide. Where two adjacent wheelchair spaces are provided, each wheelchair space shall be at least 33" inches wide.
The ones here are pretty good. Though there's a slight incline getting into the actual theatre but it's nothing too crazy. If anything I'd get rid of the carpet but it looks nice and gives me a workout so whatever.
I haven't gone since I got home. Cannot imagine sitting front row and looking up with neck pain, and getting to rest room in middle of flick would ruin the movie for me, taking too long. I need to watch DVD so I can pause, stretch, use bathroom, give my brain a break, etc.
I dont very much like those seats at the front wavewolf,like you say its not ideal for the neck and its too close to be honest. I love the view from the box at our local cimena, its ideal

I went to see Cirque du Soleil recently in a large arena. We were seated about midway, in the front so terrific, unimpeded view! Would be similar to the box as you described. If you have never seen Cirque, their shows are simply amazing and thrilling. We saw Varekai, but there are several more I'd like to see live. I had watched Varekai on video several times, but nothing compares to seeing it live. Here is video of my favorite scene:
Above is Dergin Tokmak performing--he is my hero, master dancer on canes! In the show I saw, Bill Shannon performed--he is great, too, but not the dramatist that DT is.
I've seen that video before wavewolf, it's pretty cool how he can do that.
Dergin Tokmak has amazing upper body strength and balance. His left leg is braced, and is basically non-functioning. When he does the handstands, he uses his right leg to hold it up. He inspired me to try to do a handstand, which was easy for me before being paralyzed. I did two of them, one where I was staying after rehab where floor was concrete! The other was in my rheumatologist's office, showing off--he got so angry at me that I was convinced by his arguments not to do this anymore. I need to manage risk, not create it, and need to preserve what function I have left, not use up my broken body so I lose mobility altogether. So, I need to find another outlet for my wild side! I was doing a few of the moves that I picked up from watching DT's videos on YouTube, but now realize that with progressive rheumatoid arthritis and sarcoidosis, I must try to keep my strength for ADLs and not squander on non-essentials. Frustrating, but I am finally admitting how sick I am as I see my body declining month by month.
The cinema in my home town has the wheelchair seating at the back and to one side. It's actually a good view but the sound isn't as balanced as it should be.
