Ringen Kino (FYI it's pronounced Shino for those of you that don't speak Norwegian) is the first movie theatre we've visited since moving to Oslo. I have to say it's awesome, and much different than the states, in a great way!
So the way it worked is you buy your tickets in advance and you're assigned seating, that's a great thing because you don't have to show up early to try and get a decent spot. I think the tickets for our 4pm show were like 110 kr each, not a bad deal. Where the huge difference came in was the concessions, it was an actual store, kinda like a mini mart, the popcorn is in warmers waiting for you to grab, you grab your own drinks, candy, bulk candy etc. And it was good prices! We each had a drink, a big popcorn and candy for 200ish kr. In the states all that stuff would have been around $50 at a movie theatre.
The movie theatre it's self was decent size and had very comfy seats in a stadium type seating layout, so no problems with big heads blocking the views. We saw an action movie so I can confirm the sound system is one of quality.
We live right across from this place so we definitely will be frequent visitors. I suggest you check it out and see what you think! read more
