I have been here lots of times to watch Hollywood movie. I guess this cinema is one of the few…read morecinema that does not dub their movies to German. Yes it is original. No offense but watching movie in its initial language is much much more better than watching it when dubbed to another language. The cinema is quite small, with only 3 theater. 1 being the biggest theater and the other two is quite small, fit for movies that are regular. The entrance is small, with 3 cashier to sell the tickets and snacks & beverages. Although the appearance of the bar is very unconvincing, the snacks tastes good and they are sold for a very affordable price. Ticket price is cheaper compared to other cinemas around town. On thursday especially, they have 4€ entrance for students. Cheap, but you will be crushed and squeezed by people when the movies previewed are long waited by public! Lol And one last thing that i dislike about the theater, it is very unorganized with the seating. There are no seat numbers so you have to race to get the best view seating- which relates to my statement above. :( Despite my dislike being pushed, shoved, and squeezed in the crowd, this is my only choice to watch international film with its original language that fits my budget plans. I really do hope they renew their policy and arrangements to make a better experience for us, customers.

Metropolis is almost the only theater where they play movies in their original version in Köln…read more Totally old fashion looking, with 2 rooms on the smaller size, Metropolis is very charismatic. But no worries, the technique is totally ok, good picture and sound quality! The best part I find is that on top of the typical sodas, ice cream, popcorn offering they also serve beer that can be taken inside. A nice Kölsch and a good movie, what else? They also of course play German movies and quite a few children movies. The location is perfect lots of restaurants cafe etc. for a bite to eat or a drink before or after and a subway stop right next door. By far my favorite movie theater in Köln

WOKI-Gründer und geschäftsführender Gesellschafter Rainer Otto (49), 1965 in Bonn geboren und bereits seit 1981 in Bonner Kinos tätig, verstand es von Anfang an, extrem Kino-begeisterte Mitarbeiter um sich zu scharen. Diese Leidenschaft fürs Kino und Spaß am Kinomachen kam auch den zahlreichen Besuchern zugute: Hier wurden sie sehr freundlich und fachkundig beraten. Die Bonner strömten in Scharen: Schnell wurde das WOKI zu einer Institution in Bonn. Bis heute ist es das erfolgreichste Bonner Kino und auch bundesweit ganz weit vorne. Das Konzept des WOKI heute: Große Filme in Deutscher Erstaufführung zu moderaten Preisen, ältere Filme zu günstigen Preisen zu zeigen. Auf nur zwei Leinwänden zeigen wir oft pro Woche bis zu 20 Filme, das ist in Bonn eine unerreichte Vielfalt. Bei all den wirt

The cinema is alternative in many ways. It doesn't mainly show the big blogbusters - and if they do, it's in the original language, mostly English. Well, if the film is French, it's French and so on. Sometimes, they are German subbed, sometimes not. I love films with a certain depth - that's a cinema to go to if you like films that make you think more about after you left the cinema than when watching the movie. If not right from the start, you realize that you are not in a usual cinema when you try to buy popcorn. That's because they don't have any. Same with Nachos. Instead, you can buy potato chips and Haribo sweets. I had to get used to it at the beginning, but after some time you get used to it. And it would be stupid not to go there because of the popcorn. After all, as the films are a bit more special, there's fewer people who would potentially go there. I guess not having to clean sticky popcorn and cheese from the floors saves a great deal of money. Considering, the 6 € entry are a very reasonable price for a cinema ticket in Cologne. There are no price reductions for students and so on. But there is a bonus system for people who go there often. Last but not least: They do have spaces to put your drinks in during the film. They do not have double seats.
