Absolutely love this cinema. Very friendly staff and great experience, love the selection of movies they screen, the seats are comfy. They only accept cash
Brings back childhood memories.
Very friendly and convenient, excellent audio and visual.
Great tributes to distinguish directors or genres. Feels like the cinema of the past we all love but miss so much!

Tickets are sold unnumbered which means you have to get there significantly earlier if you want good seats since it is first come first serve. This means you may end up with bad seats, even after paying significantly expensive tickets (14€ for Oppenheimer). You also can't pay for popcorn without cash (...yes in 2023 xd). Other than this, audio and image quality is great. Overall it is a movie theater with a lot of potential, however I cannot recommend it until these things are improved upon.
Went to watch Oppenheimer and it was disappointing to say the least. To start there is no organization to seats so it’s first come first serve which I dislike since I had to come 1 hour early just to stand in a line for the hour in the 40c weather. Second thing is the snacks and drinks are overpriced. Third thing is that the seats are extremely uncomfortable and unclean. And to top it off this cinema isn’t even real imax 70mm! It’s digital imax which is not advertised in the site. I URGE you to not visit this cinema. It was a terrible experience altogether. Spending 7€ on a cola, fighting over seats and messing up my back. The screen and audio quality wasn’t even that good. I visited a regular mainstream big cinema last week and it was much better in every way. So don’t bother with this one. 0/10 couldn’t be more disappointed
Big screen, worst experience. They make you wait for queue outside bc they don’t even assign seats!! First come first served, so they sell front seats. if you don’t arrive an hour before the movie begins, people snatch and occupy good seats by putting their clothes and bags. Oh btw it’s almost impossible to watch from first two rows and the sides so you’re better off watching on the steps… so if you wanna pay 15 bucks to watch a movie sitting on the floor go there. Never again, you guys suck big time!
I had an extremely negative experience with the cinema, and I cannot, in good conscience, recommend it to others. The issues began with their website, which proved to be prone to errors during the booking process. Furthermore, attempting to contact them by phone proved fruitless as my calls went unanswered for three consecutive days. Similarly, my emails were blatantly disregarded, leaving me feeling ignored and frustrated.
Upon visiting the cinema in person, I encountered further problems when the ticketing process encountered a glitch. My QR code link failed to work, leading to a ten-minute delay as I struggled to resolve the issue. Additionally, I discovered that they sold tickets without specific seat assignments, resulting in my friends and me being seated apart from one another.
To add to the disappointment, the actual screening time of the movie bore no resemblance to the time stated on the tickets. The film commenced 30 minutes later than scheduled, further exacerbating the overall poor experience. It became evident that their priorities seemed to lean more towards maximizing profits rather than providing satisfactory customer service.
In light of these numerous and significant shortcomings, I strongly advise seeking alternative entertainment options that offer a higher level of professionalism and customer care.

Yesterday I watched the „Oppenheimer“ movie at 20:10pm. I was not sure if the theatre was the right choice as the reviews are quite „wild“, so here are my thoughts:
This may sound rude but this cinema in total is a bad joke and I do not understand the hype it gets - especially, as it is considered as one of the best cinemas (timeout article) in the world.
First of all the, the tickets are quite expensive for what you are getting. To not number the tickets is bad and I have never seen this anywhere else before.
I mean, I get the reason, the owner wants to sell all seats and avoid empty seats but for the customers it‘s not fair, as you pay premium and you do not know where you end up. There should be at least categories, even better, numbers.
To visit movie theaters should be something exciting and not full of stress. Waiting in the line for hours (it started to rain yesterday) before the movie starts, running into the theatre in the hope to get a decent seat is just not how it should work.
Also the fact, that cards for payment are not accepted is not very 2023 and getting snacks / drinks before the movie is almost impossible if you want to have a proper seat.
I feel very sorry for people that work very long and just want to enjoy a movie and end up in the worst seats.
For comparison, I know another 70mm premium cinema from my hometown Munich. It‘s called „ASTOR Film Lounge“, there you get tickets with numbers, service (drinks and snacks), popcorn in sweet and salty (only salty at Phenomena) and the equipment - especially the sound and seats are way, way better than the experience you get in Phenomena. Also, it‘s bigger and the cinema is a lot cleaner - we have spotted lots of dirt and popcorn on the ground when entering the cinema hall.
To me, as someone visiting this cinema for the first time, it feels more like some sort of „scam“. I would not recommend to go there and we will not likely go there again, as long as it remains like it is.
Two stars because there was no commercial before the movie, no issues during the movie and the lady selling popcorn and drinks was very nice; the rest was forgettable.
