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.

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.

For me personally the Astor is more than a cinema - it's an experience…read more The main reason I come here are the original versions of current movies, which are shown almost daily. Another great feature are the really comfy lounge seats, paired with foot rests and butler service on your place. You don't have to wait in any lines, they come to take your order before the movie starts and there's a button on your seat where you can discreetly order during the movie I believe. All together this theater looks really classy and also looking at the hardware they are up to date with the Dolby Atmos sound system. Only thing still missing would be the IMAX quality, but the screens in their larger theaters provide excellent quality. Sure the Astor is more expensive than other theaters, but only slightly (they offer a student discount btw) and the experience is worth the money in my opinion.

The Astor cinema is the long awaited better option to the CinemaxX monopoly that had Hannover in…read morecheck for decades. The approach of a much nicer interior, comfortable lounge seats, the butler service as well as the competitve state of the art sound and picture make this cinema to my personal number one in Hannover, although I normally prefer going to the smaller program cinemas usually. Really like the fact that most movies are shown in their original language on a regular there too.

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.
