The 3 screens (1 main screen on upper level, 2 small screens on lower level) provide a great selection of art-house, international or alternative films. The atmosphere is quite relaxed, and not like the cookie-cutter cineplexes. Wine, beer and espresso drinkes are available, as well as the standard snacks (but no popcorn). Arrive early for shows, since they are often full.

This used to be my favorite cinema in the 2 years I had to live in Paderborn. The theaters have a…read moregood size, sound and picture are as good as in any other cinema. The food is as overpriced as anywhere. Best thing though is that sometimes (sadly not as often as I'd have liked) movies are shown in English. As someone who can't stand dubbing, this was a very welcome way to see new movies immediately and not having to wait for the DVD release.

The good thing about this movie theater is that they also show quite a few movies with original…read moresound, i.e. not the dubbed German version. Definitely a plus for English speaking natives, and film enthusiasts. The prices are what you would expect from a large city theater these days. Slightly steep, but still affordable. On 3D movies it gets a bit on the ridiculous side though. The seats are very comfortable and I've usually found it to be quite tidy. I never noticed anything that bothers me about screen and sound in the cinemas. Apart from occasionally being a bit to loud. But maybe that's just me.

Cinestar is ideally located in central Bielefeld, and is usually less crowded than Cinemaxx near…read morethe train station. Both cinemas have the same prices, but Cinestar has a larger selection since some movies only have one or two showings per day, so multiple titles per screen (10 screens total). In the summer some English-language originals used to be shown, but this has been drastically reduced, while subtitled Turkish-language films are also offered in the winter (generally 1 film per week). Discounted parking is available in the underground garage (2.50€ for 3 hours). On Friday & Saturday evenings long lines for the 8pm shows. Keep your 3-D glasses after the show, you'll get a 1€ discount on the next 3-D movie.

Like other German movie theaters, tickets are purchased for particular seats in the auditorium. Prices vary depending on how far or close to the screen you sit, but overall they are very reasonale prices for a modern day movie theater. Some foreign films are shown in the original language (usually English) once a week. Tuesdays are usually cheaper in price, and the theater also offers a student discount with a valid student ID. The student price is only 5 euros! There is also a discounted price for children (Kinder). The theater has nice cushy seats, offers all the usual movie concessions and the latest in German and Hollywood hits. All movies from Hollywood and in other languages are dubbed into German by German actors.
