Although it's definitely not the best movie theatre in Frankfurt, it does the trick for being soo close to the downtown area. If you don't understand German though, beware that all the movies are translated and there's noway for you to understand the film. I know it feels kinda awkward to see the Hangover in German, but surprisingly it was still hilariously funny!

Gute Alternative zu den großen Massenabfertigungspalästen, wie Cinestar und Kinopolis. Pluspunkte…read moreim Vergleich zu den genannten Alternativen in den E-Kinos: - Hygiene: keine klebrigen Böden; auf die Sitze kann man sich auch setzen ohne einen Kaugummi am Mantel zu haben, die Toiletten sind okay und scheinen sauber, aber investitionsbedürftig, um auf den neuesten Stand der Technik zu kommen. - Freundlichkeit: Das Personal ist freundlich und der Service persönlich, weiter so! - Angebot: Es gibt noch richtige Coca Cola und kein Pepsi, für mich ein klarer Pluspunkt. - Die Preise für die Karten sind geringfügig günstiger - Der Kinosaal ist kleiner, aber insgesamt hat es was Uriges und man braucht keine Brille, wenn man ganz hinten sitzt. Ebenfalls bekommt man keine Genickstarre ganz vorne. Fazit: Um die Konkurrenz für die Cinestars dieser Welt zu erhalten, in der Hoffnung die investieren auch mal in ihre Dependancen, besuche ich gerne weiterhin die E-Kinos!

I enjoyed my time here very much. I usually prefer to be outdoors, in a sculpture garden or…read morehiking, not so much in a museum. Unless there is something special that sets it apart from the usual modern art/portrait/natural history type of experience. I was ready to be inside and warm, and I was ready to see something new, so the Film Museum seemed like a good choice. There are several floors of exhibits spanning the history of moving images. From the very first to the very recent, I was delighted with the interactive exhibits and tidbits of information I gleaned while walking around. Special appreciation goes to the team that made the montage of film clips that I saw on the upper floor. That took a lot of work - it flowed together and had theme, the sound turned up on one of several scenes that might be taking place at any given moment on the wrap around screens. Truly, great job. Likewise with the Ardman montage - I simply couldn't stop watching. Speaking of which, the collection up there was wonderful. I loved seeing the clay models, and the sets with all the small props. I especially liked the characters that were on the walls - these should have been for sale! If they had been I'd have several sheep in my living room right this minute. If you're like me and you only wander in from outside when there is something out of the ordinary to see, then let yourself wander here.

I only spent half a day in Frankfurt but of course this movie geek had to visit the Deutsches…read moreFilmmuseum for the majority of my few hours in the city -- and it was worth every second! This isn't the best museum I've ever been to, but there are some pretty sweet pieces here that earn the museum a 5 star rating: 1. there's the original CINEMA sign that was used in "Inglourious Basterds" and 2. they have an amazing collection of original vintage film cameras! Movie nerd nirvana! The museum itself is small and spread out over a few levels. There are exhibits celebrating all aspects of filmmaking from acting, sound editing and projection to visual effects, lighting and the narrative of film. The exhibits have English guides too so no worries if you aren't fluent in the German language. The highlight will undoubtedly be the temporary exhibition. They change often but make sure you see the special exhibit during your visit, whatever it may be. There's a very cool, very sleek and very German cafe in the lobby. It's filled with other movie fans so it's a fantastic place to people watch and start up a conversation.

Bartender was quite energetic and friendly. Menu is small but food was pretty good. Full bar in the theater. What else can go wrong? :) Highly suggest that you stop by sometime. You won't be disappointed. PS: Complimentary bread comes with lard (pork fat), not butter.

The cinema is hidden inside a rather nice restaurant and the seats are large and very comfortable (see the pics). The film programme is usually very high grade and mainstream films are blissfully absent. It is just a great place to watch a good movie - buy a few nibbles at the bar, grab a glass of nice wine, take a seat and enjoy the film. If you are hungry after the film you only need to step out of the cinema and have some good food in the popular restaurant - or just have a drink for that matter but not too many as you need to go down a spiral staircase to reach the loos. Highly recommended; this must be the nicest cinema in Frankfurt.
