I came here because they offer €6 movies every Tuesday (as far as I can tell, it's for any movie…read moreincluding 3D movies) and the VIP seats cost €8.20 (they certainly look fancier). The regular seats are decent, can't complain. The 3D glasses are still €1.50 each, but it's optional if you already have your own. I love that they don't upcharge for mandatory glasses. If you're used to American movie theaters, I highly recommend looking at the concession stand menu beforehand. The options for what you can purchase is mind blowing. Around the middle of the movie there was a break in which you could stretch your legs, use the bathroom and resupply on snacks. Our movie was two hours so I definitely appreciated the intermission. Our movie had after-credits and the movie attendant was the one that came in and told everyone. I honestly would have never guessed, since I'm only used to after-credits in Marvel movies. They even dimmed the lights for the after-credit scene! All in all, worth every buck!

Awesome. Watching a movie in this location is one of the must-do experiences in Essen.read more

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
