Let me tell you: it means that it becomes exclusive to be here. No, not that it "becomes"; that it FEELS exclusive. On opening night it's a special feeling walking through the crowd of people who wants to be nowhere else. This is the cinema, the main cinema, where people will dress up for opening night, where they will clap from sheer joy of looking at the title and credits and where there will be roaring og laughter of every joke. This is heaven for blockbusters. This is where they wished they played because getting played here means box office, baby. That's half the experience. The other half consists of many thing that just works perfectly: Great sound. Check. Great seats. Check. Great concessions. Check. This is it. Quite simply, this is it. For indies, go elsewhere.

Sound is very important to me, perhaps even more so than the actual picture quality. So when I first experienced the new Dolby Atmos sound system at Imperial I was completely blown away. Maybe not as enthusiastic as the people clapping to the Dolby Atmos-intro, but still very impressed. While you wait to get in to the theatre you can enjoy a beverage of your choice by one of the bar tables in the open and welcoming lobby available on two different levels. You can also prepare the snack binge by visiting the candy shop. If you're down with the sugar I would recommend you to get here a bit earlier, it can get really, really crowded in here. Since I hadn't been here before the renovation I don't know how it looked back then, but you can see that it is an old building and the heritage shows through in most of the modernities which is always a good thing. I love when you can see a buildings history told through walls and pillars. Entering the theatre you're struck with how well planned it is, soft, warm, several different light sources in different colours projected onto the red walls. The seats are very comfy and they are also reclinable with good leg room. I am a 3D-sceptic, I believe that it detracts from the movie experience with bulky glasses and you get a very limited focus area. I have changed a little bit after having booked Gravity in 3D by mistake, the 3D-glasses here at imperial are more like real sun glasses, less bulky and in Gravity 3D is used quite tastefully, making it not so intrusive. So it was one of my better 3D-experiences, but I think I still will choose a 2D-viewing if possible. And it actually seems that Imperial tries to acknowledge this by offering the 2D-version when possible.

No matter what you're into (I'm into horror of all of the ages, but you might be psyched on…read moremusicals), Cinemateket has it. The array of films are incredible. It's not just the b/w films, the exploitation films, the arthouse, the animation, Spike Lee joints or the Bollywood madness. It's all of it and much more. It's the film house for all of us film lovers and cineasts who truly love film. But! What the hell's going on with the bright ground floor? It's like they asked the interior decorator not to include atmosphere of any kind. And when the decorator went downstairs, they were very adamant on keeping the extremely depressing basement. As if they thought it's better to have suicidal thoughts when partying (the parties are always down here) than to enjoy the DJ playing old Depeche Mode. And who wants to be happy listening to Depeche Mode, right?

Not sure why there are so many negative reviews, but disclaimer: I'm American and this is the only…read moretheater I've been to in CPH. I also didn't have any trouble with the "teenage" crowds that people have complained about. Snack area: it was incredibly large with anything and everything one could possibly want (think the snack section of Netto), unlike the American concessions that consist of a few shelves and whatever's behind the counter. The popcorn prices are fair (49kr for a large that can be split between 3 starving college students). Movie selection: they had all the biggest hits/blockbusters that the average consumer likes. Not where you'd go for Indie films, but they've got stuff like Bad Moms, Thor, Star Wars, etc. Seating: there is plenty of leg space, which is something Americans aren't used to. The seats are comfy and recline just enough that you're not a public nuisance. Definitely would come back, if not for the movie, then at least for the adjacent mall that's quite fun to explore with a group of friends!

Reading many of the somewhat negative reviews I need to confess right off the bat, I like Palads…read more Maybe it's because of the cheap beer (25dkk is alright), maybe it is because I can go here basically any time of day and just slide down in my seat and watch a movie. I do love watching movies alone, preferably in an empty theater. :) I should make it clear that this review is not entirely about the movie theater, many times I just go here straight from the station when back from a trip, to collect my thoughts and catch up on work that has piled up while being offline or just inaccessible. In the cafè they have always been friendly and helpful, in the ticket counter a little less so. Usually there are quite young and I would imagine underpaid, it really hasn't bothered me much since I get the tickets in the machine at the entrance. I am a big Imperial fan, any big budget movie I always prefer watching in Imperial. But for those times where you wanna catch a romantic comedy or a drama and just lean back and relax in a smaller movie theater, for those times I think Palads really fits the bill. I have been hearing some things about unfair employment conditions etc, but it is hard for me to know. If something like this would surface I will update my review, in the meantime, treat them well, get a beer at the bar and enjoy your movie! :)

Regarding the facilities, there is a cafe where you can enjoy a cup of coffee or warm chocolate before or after the movie. Can't remember if they had popcorn (pretty sure they didn't) but at least they do not have much candy. So if you associate movies to eating something yummy make sure you bring something with you. One more thing I liked about it was that it was more or less kids free and it was quite chill/peaceful with no queues. I had a very positive experience and whenever I check for films I try to look if I can watch something there. It is also quite conveniently close to Strøget so it is easy to find your way to it.

Small, neat cinema with an authentic vibe…read more Grand Teatret has been kept in a Danish 1930's style that gives the theatre a unique warm and welcoming feel. The atmosphere is laid back, and I've never seen a line of more than 3 people (all waiting to get a coffee) - and while you can buy candy, it doesn't have a massive candy supermarket like many newer cinemas, but instead has a minimal candy selection at the ticket sales desk. The lovely vibe you get from the cinema and its adjoining cafe is that this is a place for movies and cinema lovers. Not marketing. Not candy. Not Hollywood. Just good movies. It makes you remember what movies and cinema is really is - or at least really was - about. Bottom line: The best cinema in Copenhagen, second only to Cinemateket.

Empire is a favourite among lot's of movie fans in Copenhagen. The vipe of the theater is very laid back, and beside the normal candy, pop corn and soda, you can buy beer, and bubbles for your movie. The seats are nice, soft, and comfortable. The rear row are double seats, so you can site VERY close to your date (blink blink). Sound and screens are great. They feature main stream movies here. Remember we don't normal dub movies in Denmark, so tourists, and expats can catch a movie in the original language. I nearly gave Empire 3 stars, because of the cleaning standard at the toilets. It looks like, they have forgotten to vipe of the toilet bowl, and sinks for months.

If there ever was a hipster version of a movie theater, this is it. Perhaps I don't frequent movie…read moretheaters enough to experience their evolution, but this is the only theater I've been to where you can order coffee and beer. Seats are comfortable, both theaters I've been in were really clean (none of the quintessential shoe-sticking that happens in other theaters), and a large amount of room in the aisles (good if you're a bit personal bubbly like me). Two quirks, at least coming from my experience in American theaters and in the two theaters I've been in at this place: 1) There is only one set of stairs in the theater, meaning you're better off choosing seats closer to the one set of stairs, unless you really like getting to movies early or climbing over everyone to get to your seats at the very end of the row. 2) The projector is situated so that if people in the back row are standing up, they can completely block the projected image. It hasn't been an issue in the films I've been to, but nothing can take you out of a movie like a shadow of a fellow movie goer.

Der var et interview/oplæg på ca. et kvarter fra en kvinde som har specialiseret sig i at lave samtalekort som kan bruges til at få dybere og bedre emner på bordet når vi hygger derhjemme eller med venner. Ikke bare var filmen fantastisk og fik mig til at grine igen og igen. Vi fik også allesammen en gave med hjem hvilket var ret flot. Tak for en skøn aften. Vi kommer gerne igen.

So they basically sold twice the amount of seats available in a room. With my friends we realized we were double booked. Anyway they handled the situation in a remarkable way ! They opened a second room so we could all see the movie and knit, they offered us free a free drink or popcorn...and they waited for everyone to be in the room to start the movie. Because of that double booking it took quite some time to solve the problem and they waited for us. What kind of cinema waits for its customers to start a movie. This was an example of customer service.

What a great theatre - I found it whilst walking (that was fun to say whilst-I'm American we say…read morewhile, but whilst fits for this theatre) (oh and another sidebar I'm spelling theater-theatre; I DO have a good time being easily amused)! You know I didn't even know it was a cinema They had outside cafe tables and a large open lobby, concession is quite large, good prices, great eclectic movies with English, Danish, and other options. I only chose English because well that's all I speak and read...lucky (cross-trained) Danes can select any one and read the subtitles! I enjoy going to the movies in other countries to see what their cinemas are like and their film interests. You can learn a lot about likes and focus-areas. Okay back to the Dagmar...popcorn yummy and hot-tip: don't expect butter there ain't any...Americans beware. But the seats are spacious and comfortable the sound is great. Not too loud like stateside theaters. You feel like you can show up early and hang out. I did. Oh be ready for 20 mins of previews felt a bit longer than US standards.

Now it's mostly IMAX theatre - playing a couple of hi-res film in the curved giant screen. Not much of the old planetarium part of it left. Don't get me wrong, I love the IMAX theatre and the film they play. I went there just today to see "Space Next" and I think it's awesome seeing with 3D glasses and the big screen and all. It's definitely an experience that you can't get in normal cinema. But the state of the place apart from the theatre is sad. Toilet is dingy and old (clean, but kinda smelly), the supposedly educating exhibition seems like it's been there for so long and nobody really takes good care of it. The "mission launch" game is so boring that I doubt it would catch anyone's interest. Even the game room for kids are so worn down that you felt like you stepped back into the time machine and came out on the wrong era or something. All in all, this place needs facelifting, the exhibition, the shop (most importantly! - they need to be more serious in selling popcorn and candy if they want to focus on selling the theatre!) but I do recommend seeing the film in the IMAX theatre.
