The condition of the movie theatre makes the movie even better. And such is the case when you visit movie theatres that have been designed with your visual and auditory experience taken into consideration. Here are some of the coolest movie theatres in the world.
The Cine Thisio in Athens is one of the most majestic theatres in the world. It is one of those places that is guaranteed to garner a crowd in the summer. Not only can you watch whatever the blockbuster you are there to watch you will also get a view of the Parthenon and Acropolis from your seat in the cinema. It gives such spectacular views at night and is highly popular. The Cine Thisio is one of the oldest movie theatres in Athens having been constructed in 1935. It is open only from April to October every year. It showcases bygone classics as well as new studio releases.
Alamo Drafthouse is a movie theatre in Texas that has a lot of street cred. It started in Texas and has since moved out to a whole series of events including nights when movie experts rip into Michael Bay features, Quote Alongs and Heckle Vision. There are some very strict policies at the Alamo Drafthouse which is what makes it popular among its clientele. There is a no-cellphone policy, no talking, no children under the age of six and no advertisements before the movie begins. It is located on S Lamar Boulevard in Austin and is considered one of the great cinemas of the world.
The Rajmandir Theatre in Jaipur is another spectacular cinema you will often find recommended on sites the likes of My Entertainment Hub. It is where you would go to get the perfect Bollywood experience. There is a choice for comfortable and more expensive seats and they always play the Indian national anthem. A typical Bollywood blockbuster would run for about 3 hours during which locals will clap enthusiastically when there's something exciting happening in the film. The Rajmandir was first opened in 1976 and seats 1200.
First established in socialist Germany, the Kino International cinema has a complete program that is expected from an art house. It still has a heavyweight list of festivals and premieres that puts it on the frontline of the German art scene. There is also a lot of heritage in the Kino including its interior designs and architecture that is no protected under cultural heritage rules. It is located on the famous Karl Max Allee where you can find a plethora of other heritage buildings belonging to German history.
You can't keep South Korea out of a list of the best cinemas in the world. 4DX is situated in Seoul and was the first 4D theatre ever. It is almost like sitting in an amusement park than a museum so it is always advised that you don't bring in pregnant women, small children and the elderly or infirmed as some of the special effects can be quite aggressive depending on the movie you happen to be watching.
