Today I was in class, and doubts were raised about this sentence: "I haven�t been going to the cinema for ages." Is it correct? Thanks a bunch!! |

You just need to say: I haven�t been to the cinema for ages.
Edit: Or if you meant to imply that you used to be a frequent visitor to the cinema but you have stopped, you would have to explain that in a rather longer-winded way!: I always used to go to the cinema, but I haven�t been for ages. Or something like that. |

In the US you can also say I haven�t been to the cinema in ages. |
