Doubtful!: Photosensitive epilepsy affects up to 5% of people with epilepsy. Photosensitive triggers include certain rates of flickering images or light. In general, seeing a film at the cinema is unlikely to trigger seizures. Frame rates of normal cinemas is 24 frames/second, which would produce noticeable flicker. Since the intensity in the cinema is very low, the risk is also very low/unlikely to trigger.
