A video made by Nyle DiMarco and Chella Man has been released on YouTube, showing what a typical cinema-going experience is like in America.
In the video, the pair are seen having to wait while cinema attendants put batteries in a device called CaptiView, then we see how the device shows the wrong captions during the film. It all adds up to a far from positive experience that many Brits will relate to…

That was just horrible to used the CaptView…I have never see them before. Why don’t the cinema use the subtitles? Although every time i pop to cinema there is no subtitles available and also the company “Cineworld” does do subtitles BUT cutting back on them which is shame!!
Hopefully the company change the CaptView change to subtitles which makes it easier and not in the way.
