la géode Reviews

It changes classic cinema. The place is quite impressive and the effect of imax is striking.

An immersive experience. It feels like part of the film as the image surrounds us.

Although I read Wikipedia's learned explanations on the icosahedra and non-regular geometric solid polyhedra convex inscribed in a sphere I still have not understood how we managed to make a ball of 36 meters in diameter by assembling lots of small triangles ...

Not bad, the only thing that counts is the amazing result of this giant mirror where in good weather all the cumulonimbus of the sky of Paris seem to fly there while on the Lawn of La Villette walk lovers.



XXI century obliges, the Imax process (the one that allows to project a film on a sphere) is also put to the HD and to the 3D, which makes that not only one believes oneself in the film, but in addition now it You have to make some reasoning efforts and hang your arms on the armrests to resist the childish temptation to brew some air while trying to grab the digital chimeras that seem to stir in front of you.

So a unique experience not given-given if we take the ratio price / average projection time but to test at least once if you pass the City of Science.

Great building, from the outside already very worth seeing! We visited the show "A beautiful planet" and were absolutely thrilled. Wonderful pictures! Attention, there is free seat choice, so you should hurry up!

Very nice clean and modern place! but quite expensive when you have to buy drinks and small things to nibble on the spot!

Top 3D documentaries. However, these days nothing interesting.

Room with very impressive spherical screen. If you choose well, some documentaries are exceptional and are worth more than ordinary cinema. Do not hesitate to put yourself in the middle, see even more up in the ranks .... believe me you will turn your head if you are too close.

I do not often go to the Geode, but I like the particularity of this screen.
The last film I saw was "Peaceful Destination", the film presents the protection of the shores and the species that can discover it. The comments and content are aimed at the young audience, but the pictures are very beautiful, and the impression of being in the middle of the fish, thanks to the circular screen is nice. We go out there with the desire to go diving.

It's a bit expensive if you don't have a discount. The experience changes a lot depending on the film that is showing, so choose well.

A picture quality worthy of a VHS and a frame rate that is equal to the mediocrity of the worst video that can be found on Youtube, I paid 12 to see a blurry projection with Jean Michel with sound effects.

Unmissable place in north-eastern Paris dedicated to science

12 euros for Are We Alone in Space, a film about everything except space. 45 minutes lost.

An absolutely great cinematic experience!
From the outside, the building is already very impressive and even from the inside you can only admire the round screen.
We saw a movie about the Grand Canyon and we liked it a lot.
Gladly again and again.

Spectacular video, you can see yourself swimming with the whales.

Very disappointed, the concept has aged badly, mediocre quality of the images, a rather disappointing film projected (very subjective, ok) and especially a film having no visual interest to be projected in a spherical room. Too expensive for what it is.

Timeless design! One of my favorite places in Paris!

We purchased an e-ticket on the net, and reaching no indication and no one to tell us where to go. We have to queue at the cash tickets ask the same person. What good then e-ticket ??
Then we had to wait in the queue pdt 1/2 hours in sweltering heat, people began to feel ill ...
In addition 12 euros for 45 minutes of film, this is fraud!
As too often in public services, too expensive for what it is poorly organized and poor quality of service !!

impressive room !!! interesting documentary ... its worth the detour !!!

Inside a huge stainless steel sphere there is a huge and modern screen made specifically for the projection of 3D films in IMAX format.
Waw.

Building from the spherical form, impossible to miss Inside the la Villette park. It is a cutting-edge facility that houses a film we pazzesca..filmati projected 180-degree room of 26 meters schermo..si is overwhelmed by images pazzesche..i movie themes vary each day and you can choose between nature movies or go to the space .. the impression one has is to really find oneself inside the projected images .. too beautiful .. for children and teenagers but also for adults!

Nice cinema, all films in 3D. Even if you dont know french its also possible to attend it, because its a incredible experience and a new kind of cinema.

not suitable for the elderly because many steps to cross ...

Very attractive prices given the quality of experience.

frankly: I love the balls especially for the ETLV super structure which allowed to express yourself orally in English

Very nice cinema, I really like. I saw beautiful planet is the movie was really amazing. The armchairs are very comfortable

Atypical building. We have a good time watching a 3D movie.

It is one of the best place for enjoying & having fun...

Hurricane movie zero from zero. No 3 D. Very disappointed

Absolutely beautiful relaxation. Thanks to the directors

We came to see the movie Ocean Family: Beautiful and exciting!

"Whales" movie. Very beautiful images and a really addictive sound! 50 minutes of happiness in this somewhat atypical cinema.

good value for money the site is pretty and there is something to do in this area to restore

I loved it, you arrive and you find a silver ball that leaves you with your mouth open, you also have the spectacular science city to go with the little ones of the house to interact, it also has a large park and is well connected by metro

Superb welcome ... managing the handicap of children with great tact and kindness!

A treat for young and old. Even if 3D movies are accessible in any cinema, it has nothing to do with what the geode offers

Dynamic cinema. Choosing the right film. Watch out for periods of strong influence.

This place is really incredible and too little highlighted! It doesn't look like much from the outside and you often wonder first what it contains, but the screening room is really great. The screenings, often documentaries, are really quality and well suited to the experience. There is a fairly varied catalog which is renewed from time to time. This will satisfy all tastes.

A great disappointment: a film "in immersion" which is not distinguished from a report on TV! The quality of the famous Imax is really low ...

If you choose between the Geode and the Planetarium - the latter is probably much more exciting in terms of image quality and documentary content.

If you want a Mr. Interactive museum and you have children, you must try it. There are so many activities for kids.

Decent cinema concert experience but seat not comfortable at all.

Awesome!!! Still so spectacular, but high tariffs, shame ... :(

It's still a good experience even if we start to feel that the content is getting old

Great cinema, good program, good concept! To try at least once;)

Memories of my vacation and my first school trip! Even when you're not a big fan of science, it's a great place to do shows and cultivate. I always enjoy coming to watch documentaries.

The concept is really very interesting. We find ourselves sitting inside this sphere with a giant screen curved 180 degrees. Some regret that all projections are documentary films.

A few surprising moments but overall quite disappointing (considering the price)

The Geode is fantastic and very impressive, during the day they broadcast 4 or 5 videos. The 180 degree view really gives the impression of being inside the movie.
