How do you pronounce 'cinema'?

Sinem-ah (short a)
or Sinem-ahhh (long a)

I am not interested in whether or not you over or under-pronounce the 'e' in the middle, but the end but

I have only heard it pronounced 1 way.

Both, but that's because I'm a northerner who married a southerner and lives in the south. I also use both northern and southern pronunciations of such things as France, bath and pasta.

Can't help it.
