Cinemaxx Fisketorvet

A modern cinema inside the Fisketorvet shopping mall. They show some movies with IMAX, but haven’t tried those yet.
Pluses for:
+ decent selection, you can find most common movies here
+ comfy seats with proper leg space
+ self-​service machines to buy tickets, so no need to queue for cashier
+ own entrance from outside so no need to walk through the shopping mall
+ big candy selection
Minuses:
— toilets smell of urine every time. Don’t know what’s wrong with their bathroom but it’s gross!
— very often a long queue for the snacks
The theater itself is not very amazing, but with a good movie and company it’s a nice experience.

I’ve been here a few times to watch some movies & my experience always has been pretty standard.
For watching movies my favorite place is Palads, but somehow we end up visiting this place for some movies. The advantage this place has compared to others is that they have special nights & movies dedicated to those nights. It sure does help when you or your friends have a chance to win something along with watching movies.
With regards to snacks, I do not really like this place as the popcorn served here are not fresh & for me that absolutely makes a difference in terms of taste. Although they so have tons of sizes for cola.
Overall a pretty decent & ok place to visit.

I actually don’t know how I often end up here lately when it comes to watching film. Palads was my to go place back then when I was still living next to 5A bus line, but somehow my friends always invited me to go see a movie at Cinemaxx.
This cinema is pretty much on the standard side. Sure they have big and many studios, very convenient if you want to watch a particular film that you have missed on other theatres, but do avoid the teenage crowd if you can.
Somehow, this place has become the hang-​out place for screaming teens fan-​girling over their favourite actors. I know that I was probably guilty of the same charge back in my younger days, but these days, I really want to go where (only) adults go.
Service is nice — a couple of times when one of our friends are running late, the girls on the ticket service is always good about letting our friend coming in later, so I can’t really complain about that. Popcorn and snacks are pretty standard otherwise.
The only plus side is probably because it’s next to a mall — when the teen crowd get too intense, you could escape to the mall for awhile (big chance that you would meet more screaming teen crowd though: S)

The epitomy of the «industrialized» cinema.
In this humongous theatre you are no longer a human being but a sheep being herded through labyrinths of queues and overpriced candy shops.
I personally feel uneasy even slightly nauseous being here, and I try to avoid it like the plague.

There’s a place in Stockholm called Heron City, I get the same vibe from Cinemaxx as I get when I’m at Heron. A deserted zombie mall vibe, it’s just not cozy at all. Concrete floors and randomly scattered furniture. One time I was here late at night (I love going to daytime or really late cinema) and I couldn’t find my way out plus there was no staff in sight.
So, to the technicalities. Last time I was here I watched Guardians of the Galaxy in 7.1 sound and 2D. The sound was way too low and it feels like it is mostly coming from the screen itself, compare this to Imperial (my favourite theater) in town where Dolby Atmos makes you totally immersed in sound, in a very good way. That does not happen here.
Lately, the only reason I’m here is if Imperial stopped showing the movie and I still want ok sound. BUT I will change this behavior and go to another movie theater instead, a theater that makes you feel more welcome. :)
