Theaters, museums, exhibitions, events in urbanparks and various festivals - in the capital you can find entertainment for every taste. However, cinemas continue to be the most popular. Awesome sound, comfortable chairs and, of course, movies - modern Moscow cinemas are very different from those that were thirty years ago, and it is much easier to buy a ticket today.
The list of Moscow cinemas is quite large, but they can be classified according to their belonging to one or another network.
In addition to commercial networks, there is a GBUK.Moscow “Moscow cinema” (cinema “Zvezda”, “Saturn” and “Art”) and Moscow cinemas for children and youth (cinema “Berezka”, “Vympel” and “Iskra”).
Many Muscovites cinema “Birch”, openin 1962, associated with childhood. Today, a comfortable room meets all requirements, including for people with disabilities. Here are often held events for veterans, large families and orphans. Thanks to this policy, “Birch” appeared in our review.
Residents of the district of Perovo, which is locatedcinema, note affordable prices and modern repertoire. Visitors, in addition to new products, can see performances and creative evenings. On the second floor there is a children's cafe and entertainment center.
The main guests of the cinema are children, for whom various workshops are held, cinema clubs and much more are opening.
Network "Karo Film", like many Moscowcinemas are widely represented in shopping centers. From the total mass before, only one stood out - “Pushkin”. This is the largest premiere cinema in Europe, built in the heart of the capital in 1961.
For many years, the cinema "Russia" (formerly called)remained the main film site of the USSR. Less than ten years ago, the building was handed over to the long-term rental conditions to the largest distributor “Karo Film”, who reconstructed and changed its name. For many years, the main events of the Moscow International Film Festival were organized here, and in the hall for 2056 all-Russian premieres took place.
В 2012 году была перевернута очередная страница stories. “Pushkin” was returned to the previous name and again closed for reconstruction. Today on the stage of the theater “Russia” the company “Stage Entertainment” (musical “The Little Mermaid”) demonstrates its projects.
After the closure of “Pushkin” all the functions of the maincinema of the country went to the cinema center "October". The large hall, designed for 1,518 seats, is used today for premieres, regular rentals, closed shows, festivals and ceremonies.
Five years ago in the cinema “October” was openedIMAX room. The center on Novy Arbat has long been a favorite place for Muscovites; here you can not only watch a movie in one of the eleven rooms, but also dine in an Italian restaurant, and also have fun in a cozy karaoke bar.
“Формула Кино” по количеству кинозалов считается The largest network in Russia. Moscow, St. Petersburg, Murmansk, Syktyvkar, Novokuznetsk, Krasnodar, Ryazan and Novosibirsk - a total of 34 modern cinemas.
In addition, 6 rooms allow you to show movies in the IMAX format, which gives the audience a unique clarity of sound, image quality and immersive effect.
According to reviews, Horizon Cinema (Frunzenskaya), which was opened in 1999, is considered to be one of the best in the network. Main characteristics:
Visitors can use the services of a cinema-bar, as well as try coffee in “Chocolate Girl” or Asian menu in “WabiSaby”.
Despite the rather modest size, “Horizoncinema ”(“ Frunzenskaya ”metro station, Komsomolsky pr. 21/10) is very popular due to its repertoire. Management managed to find a balance between Hollywood blockbusters and conceptual tapes. With great success there are broadcasts of various performances and documentaries.
The main drawback of “Horizon” is the lack of parking and not the best service in the cinema bar.
The best Moscow cinemas, as a rule,concentrated in the city center. The network “Five Stars” is another confirmation of this: cinema centers on Novokuznetskaya, Chistoprudny Boulevard and Paveletskaya Street, the only exception is “Five Stars" in Biryulyovo.
According to reviews of moviegoers, the best in the network remains the "Five Stars" on Paveletskaya (Bakhrushina St., house 25). Until 2001, the Central Children's Theater was located in a three-story building.
In the morning and afternoon there are special sessions for children, on the second floor there is a children's entertainment center, as well as the “Happy train” attraction.
Visitors celebrate the stylish interior and incredible atmosphere. The main disadvantages are:
The most modest on our list was the Almaz Cinema network, consisting of only three cinemas.
“Almaz cinema” was opened (Shabolovskaya metro station) in 1963 and the next thirty years, cinema lovers were pleased with their repertoire. In the 90s there was a period of calm, and the halls themselves have long been in need of repair. The reconstruction took place in 2000-2001, after which the updated “Diamond” could please the audience with a modern Dolby Digital Surround EX system. Today, in addition to the usual chairs in the cinema, there are comfortable sofas and VIP boxes with tables.
Unfortunately, after almost 15 years, “Diamond”the cinema ("Shabolovskaya" m.) looks hopelessly outdated. Cinemas note a slightly blurred image on the screen in one of the halls, problems with the sound and ventilation system, as well as shabby chairs. “Pleasant” impressions are added by the behavior of the staff.
Pros:
Если вам наскучили голливудские боевики и primitive comedies, then turn your attention to Moscow cinemas with an unusual repertoire. For example, the center of the art house “35 mm” at ul. Pokrovka 47/24.
The cinema is located in the Central House of the entrepreneur and consists of two halls.
