Eine Bar im Eingangsbereich, Kinosäale die wunderbar dekoriert und eingerichtet sind und eine gemütliche Atmosphäre, machen das Filmforum zu einer guten Alternative zu grossen Kino-Ketten wie UCI und Cinemaxx. Dazu kommt noch, dass eine Karte mit 5 Euro (4 für Schüler) sehr günstig ist. 5 Sternesehr empfehlenswert!

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

This movie theater leaves much to be desired if you're from the U.S. I saw a movie here in the…read moreevening in the summer when it was around 75°F outside, but inside the theater it was like an oven. There's no AC or ventilation, so forget bringing a sweater in case the theater will be too cold -- it won't be. The chairs aren't very cushioned and sit straight up, so it is difficult to be comfortable for the length of a movie. Besides the below average atmosphere, the sound/screen quality was fine and the price seemed average (8 Euro).

I freaking love this place. I've been twice, once to see Minions (don't judge, haters) and most…read morerecently to see their "CineSneak" offer (more on that later). This theater is a little out of the way, but it's huge and shows almost every movie you can think of. They have the original English versions of all the movies they release, which is great for expats. So. CineSneak. Essentially, every Wednesday night the theater allows you to purchase 5 euro tickets. The catch is that you have no idea what the movie is going to be. Even the guy selling the tickets doesn't know! Trust me, I asked. It's always a new release though, so if you don't go to the theater often, there's no risk in seeing something twice. Last night we ended up watching this weird Christmas movie which wasn't fabulous, but a fun excursion on a weeknight. I will definitely be doing this again. (The only downside is that like most theaters, refreshments are insanely expensive. I just wanted a bottle of water and it cost 4.25, which is insanity. You can buy a beer there for the same price. I'll never understand overcharging for water.)

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
