Landmark's Century Centre Cinema on Postcard

"A longtime staple for indie film viewing, this beautiful theatre building at the split of Clark and Broadway recently got a facelift. The Century now sports a slick charcoal interior and a bar/lounge. The building is still waiting on the other tenants to follow suit, but hey. Even with the new lounge, the draw here is still obviously the movies. And with an always impressive lineup of flicks you often can't catch anywhere else, the Century is a must for film fanatics." - Studio Malt

Great theater located in the Century mall in the Lakeview neighborhood. The theater has a nice dinning area where you can enjoy your concessions or a drink from their full bar. The parking lot is directly attached to the building so it’s easily accessible for everyone ,Handicap accessibility throughout the building with ramps on every level. Theater sizes are medium compared to larger chains. Every time I’ve been there it’s not packed either which keeps me coming back. This theater is somewhat of a hidden gem in the sense that it’s not as busy as the bigger chain theaters. I’ve been there several times and it’s never been overcrowded, a bonus in my opinion. Prices are as to be expected in any theater. I haven’t been to the lower levels of the mall but I do see people walking around so maybe wander around the mall after a movie. Enjoy!

Awesome theater. Very cool building and comfortable atmosphere. The bar inside has a stellar selection of drinks/beer and good snacks. Good location with ample parking and nice bars/restaurants nearby!

This place has an interesting layout. Decently priced for a city theater.

We got tickets to see bettlejuice. Online it said the seats fully recline. This theater is on a yelp list named “best reclining seat theaters in Chicago.” Well it turns out that the specific theater we booked (i think there’s over 10) hasn’t been updated yet and so the seats do not recline. This should be on their website somewhere. We paid for parking and drove 30 mins to get here. Although we were able to get refunds, it was a huge let down as we had limited time. 3 stars because we got a refund which helped the situation. The downside is that I had already paid for parking. So I wasted money.

Seats are ok and theaters are good. They have a good feel for the right volume too. The only downside is that the building makes no sense. Its so hard to park, walk , get tickets validated, and then walk the maze to get to parking again.

This Landmark movie theater is so underrated for the location. Yes, it’s at the top of a mostly vacant mall. But the mall is perfectly clean and nice. The theater itself has a really well-designed bar and snack area. Like most any commercial movie theater in Chicago, you can buy your tickets at a kiosk pretty hassle free. The theater chairs recline comfortably, but they don’t have the full electric-recline that some larger theaters do.

Nice and helpful service, clean-ish theater, comfortable seats, good visuals bad sound. The theaters are on the top floors, so its two escalators/elevator from from street level or 1 floor from the parking garage. Watched a movie on Friday Jul 9th and couldn't hear the voices well (the music was overplaying on the voice audio) and it kind of ruin the movie for me. Not sure if that's a glitch, a problem with the theater (7) or something bigger.

Favorite cinema in town… always has a mix of limited and wide releases films. It is connected to a parking garage if you drive. But always street parking is available along with public transit. Comfortable theater sitting. Staff seems friendly enough… there was a random amount of garbage and things around - maybe short staffed? Concessions are the usual prices. They do have a bar - large selection!
