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

The Astor cinema is my new favorite cinema in town. From the moment you walk in the door, right up…read moreto heading back out, you are treated as a welcomed guest. After getting your tickets you are offered a free glass of Sekt or orange juice while waiting for your film to commerce. At this time you also have the possibility to check your coat in - free of charge. The leather arm chairs, which you can lean back in, and a slat comes out for your feet, were wonderfully comfortable. There is so much space to the lounge in front that you can completely stretch out without coming close to reaching it. After taking your seat a waiter comes around to take your order (a menu awaits you next to your arm chair). There is a full selection of light meals, drinks and snacks on the menu. We both ordered a beer and a Mediterranean plate (ham, salami, cheese and a warm bread roll). Very fresh and yummy. The movie we watched was in 3D, so we received 3D glasses when entering the cinema. The glasses were high quality, battery operated glasses. Excellent! All technical equipment is brand-new. The sound and picture quality was top-notch. Such 'luxury' does come at a price. In comparison to other cinemas you'll need to pay an extra 3-4 € per person. Calculate in the free welcome drink & free cloakroom and the extra cost per person will decrease. The only slightly down side is that there are 'only' 3 cinemas. So the total number of movies being shown at any one time is limited. I am a fan of this cinema. If the movie I want to watch is not screening there, I would happily wait until it is. I couldn't see myself willing going back to the 'regular' cinemas in town.

Although online reservation of tickets and seats cost more, I strongly recommend it to avoid the long lines, as the theater gets very crowded. Only wish they had more original english movies; the majority are dubbed german and they only seem to offer one english movie a week very late (Tuesdays at 11:00pm). Not sure why it's so limited, since many Germans also prefer to see movies in original English. A wider selection of english movies at different times would definitely bump this theater to five stars :)
