You get such an amazing entre for such an amazing price, and I always recommend this dish to people. I mean you cant go wrong with anything on this menu. The staff is incredible, and you feel like a celebrity eating here! I will recommend this place to my friends.

Loved the building design, a bit retro and a bit minimalist. We watched “Bombshell” absolutely loved the film (5 stars), but not overly happy with the rocking-chair; the person sit in front of me constantly hitting my legs (unintentionally) throughout the movie, and I’m only 5’8! Improvements required on privacy in the restrooms, you can see in/out through the gaps clearly and easily. Staff also required training, the guy served us and the ticket person clearly doesn’t want to be there, not a great first impression.

Ive always preferred watching movies at the movie house, its just way better here. However, we were blown away by the service. My boyfriend and I had to leave the movie due to an emergency, and the manager gave us two movie tickets to come back for free. He didnt have to do that, but he just did! Thank you!

Landmark Theatre is my go to for all movies! Enjoy a cocktail in their lounge. Then enjoy a movie in their comfortable theaters. Keep doing a great job! Support local business. I dont know what i would do without this wonderful place.

Excellent movie house here in our area! I proved it when I went to your movie house just a week ago. It has a good place to watch a movie, very refreshing, the seats were very comfortable. Their staff was also very professional and friendly. Very strongly recommended to everyone! I must surely introduce you to everyone!

This movie house was excellent! Great interior inside and outside area. I honestly love the atmosphere here. They never fail me on my high expectations. I am deeply impressed by how they handled their customers correctly with no hassles at all. Thank you very much for assisting me and for providing me genuine assistance.

Neighborhood gem - this place shows a mix of first-run independent/artsy and mainstream/popular films, specials, award nominees, festival favorites, Q&As / extras w/ directors, etc.Hidden inside a sleepy shopping center, conveniently located near transit, restaurants, shopping, etc. Theater was recently renovated, includes a full bar and the two largest screens have reclining seats.TIP: Bring your ticket stub across the street to La Creperie (Americas oldest creperie), and receive a free crepe (w/ drink purchase) - perfect lil date night!

Really like this movie theatre. You cant reserve seats, so be wary of that and get there early. Plenty of other good places nearby so you can combine movie with food or drinks, etc

This theater shows a lot of Indie movies that you will not find in the bigger movie theaters.This movie theater is on the 4th floor inside the old Century shopping mall, yes I do remember the century shopping mall.Prices are decent and they recently upgraded their seats. We go here for a lot of movie screenings especially the offbeat ones that you wont find in the general theaters. I have never experienced a crowded movie at this theater when purchasing a regular ticket.Parking is non-existent streetwise, but they do have a parking garage where if you get your ticket validated by the cashier at the bar you only have to pay $5 which is a bargain considering how hard it is to find parking in the area.

I went to watch movie here with my boyfriend on New Year’s Eve. The staffs very nice, the seat very comfy with the recliner and the ticket only $10. I moved to this neighbor 4 years ago and never know this theater is here and only one mile from my apartment. I always go to AMC theatre in downtown is cost more $ to go there. But now I have new favorite theater in my neighbor.

This theater is very comfortable. Parking is pretty expensive, I paid about $20 to park in the lot for one movie. The concession area is small but they have a nice bar/lounge area.

Review №16

$32 for a Movie. The place advertised a $6.00 parking charge. I got out and found that I was charged $22.00 for parking. Naturally, everyone said there is nothing we can do - its automated. Last time I will visit this theater. No wonder the place is empty - shysters! And you can see the theater responses below. Beware this theater.

As theaters go in the city, this is probably my favorite. Comfortable. Great service (beer in an actual glass!). Great arthouse movies along with all the big releases. First rate place!

Favorite movie theater in Chicago, always has a great selection of both popular and hard to find films. Especially like being able to catch all the awards-season movies in one place.

The building itself is iconic. The theater (at least the one I was in) had nice seats and the sound and picture were great. Definitely will go back there.

Review №20

This theater feels really nice and casual. Easy to access the bar and decently priced. Like that you can go in an out until your movie starts.

Pa
Review №21

Its kind of a confusing building, but the movie theater is on the third floor and they show lots of movies before other theaters get them. I say Parasite (2019) here before it was playing anywhere else. The bar by the concessions is also really nice. Its got a good vibe and nice view.

Review №22

Landmark century theater is Chicagos premier cinema. They always feature the the popular Indy films circulating abuzz their unique stories, foreign subjects and languages and if its a good film, some obtuse, strangeness to wrap it all up in. Oh, it also has a full bar with lounge. If you get past the ghost mall it occupies, I promise you, you cant pick a bad movie. Theyre all worth checking out!

My favorite place in Lakeview. I try to only see movies here. The bar is great!

Review №24

By far the worst experience watching The Irishman. The movie is excellent. However the projector guy sitting upstairs didn’t raise the volume till half way of the movie. Other people noticed as well.Then we saw him moving things which were projected on the screen. Horrible place, run by the worst management. I would avoid this place.

Review №25

This is one of my favorite theaters. They run interesting movies, often specializing in indie flicks. But you can still see some major blockbusters here from time-to-time (I saw avengers endgame and toy story 4 here). Popcorn is solid. Theaters are always very clean. And the best part, they poor the TALLEST beers and you can take them into the movie with you. A+ place for a chill movie night.

Local theater that hosts a collection of film festival throughout the year. Art-house; limited release films; The Oscar shorts; foreign film. Really enjoy the updated seats and a full cocktail bar is a plus.

Great place for art films. Probably Chicago’s weirdest building/ defunct indoor mall. But the popcorn is probably the best in the city tastes real

Review №29

Movie theater was clean and easily accessible to Lakeview/Lincoln Park. HOWEVER! I went for Star Wars episode 9 and got there 2 hours early to relive my 2009 midnight premiere days. I asked 2 different people working there if there was a line for the movie, since the seats were general admission, and both people said no. BUT! BETRAYAL! The dead speak! There was a line after all! Is this what Han and Leia felt after Lando sold them out to the Empire?! The deal has been altered! After ~15 people were in the line, I figured out what was happening and joined the line. I ended up with great seats but to this theater I say: YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!! Said to bring balance to the force, not leave it in ruin!! Regardless, Ill be back.

This is a very nice theater in the upper floors of the century shopping Center. They have a full bar and discounted tickets on Sunday before 5. Very comfortable seating and first-run movies. This is one of my favorite movie theaters.

Landmark Century is the best place Ive ever been to watch a movie. Its super comfy, the crowd is quiet and respectful, the staff is cool and so is the bar. The building is impressive too, with a wonderful spiraling walkway that sets the mood for film.I feel lucky to live close to it.

I like that this cinema is so big, cuz it makes it seem like its always quiet even when its busy. They have a full bar/lounge area near the concession stand, so if you come early, you can hangout in plush chairs with a cocktail before your movie starts

Review №51

Interesting repurposing of space which includes a shopping center and eateries with convenient, though pricey, attached parking. Great for inclement days. Biggest drawback is lack of signage. The employees are quite helpful with directions but more and better signs would be helpful. Refreshments are limited but reasonably priced.

Landmark Century Theater on Clark Street in Chicago is one to f my favorite movie theaters. It is very near my home so I go there often. I was wondering I use to use the app Fandango to look up movie times and to see what was playing. I knew I could not buy tickets through Fandango. Why isn’t your movie theater listed on Fandango anymore? Other small non chain theaters are.

Review №61

Great place to see a movie! Full bar has better selection than some other theaters. Theaters have stadium seating and seats have decent amount of recline. Surprisingly was not sold out for opening weekend of a huge movie release! Just wish they had a loyalty/repeat customer program.

Review №62

Pros: Great theater tucked inside of Chicagos historic Century Mall. The facilities are great, a bit compact, but whats one to expect when inside of a high rise mall. The staff is very friendly, which is always great. Ticket buying is for the most fully automated with ticket spewing kiosks, I dont recall seeing a box office so bring your debit card, or buy tickets beforehand online or via app before arriving to avoid potential lines. I live that you can find artsy, Oscar contender type films readily at this there. Theres a bar adjacent to the concessions stand, and one has the freedom to take an alcoholic drink with while viewing a film. There were no issue with other moviegoers being noisy, or using electronics, everyone was highly respectful of the viewing experience. The movie theater was clean, my feet didnt stick to the floor and their mini Lazyboy chairs are very comfortable. The parking garage is exceptionally convenient since street parking is extremely limited, and for the few parks along the street, there are no parking meters along that stretch of Clark Street to pay. I searched up, down and around the block for a meter to pay, and ultimately ended up being ticketed, hence use the parking garage if you intend to drive. Plus the theaters garage is much less expensive than a $50 dollar City of Chicago parking ticket entrapment.Cons: Expensive, but that higher costs are found away nearly all theatres these days.

This is a very friendly, small scale theater with great staff, an interesting movie selection that includes blockbusters as well as more art house-like features and a pleasant atmosphere.

Review №65

Unfortunately, I cant recommend this place. The seating has awkward reclining actions that basically forces you forward, and you have no legroom if someone is sitting in front of you (and Im just the average height at 510). The floors were also sticky. That would be fine by itself, but ticket prices fairly high compared to other theaters, especially since I went during the week. If you want a more premium movie experience, stick with either the Michigan 9 downtown or the Century 12 in Evanston. For cheap tickets, I would recommend the 400 theater. The one employee that I did talk with was nice though, and the theater does show films that frequently dont play elsewhere.

I love this Landmark Theatre. They are always showing a great selection of films, many of which are not available at other theaters in the area, and they have incredibly comfortable seating. Huge perk is the movie price, which is a few dollars cheaper than the other chain theaters in the area, and M-Th they have student pricing. Their popcorn is fresh (very important to this movie-goer) and they offer free flavor toppings. Plus they have refills on large sodas and they even have a bar if you want to bring a drink in to the theatre with you.

Review №78

This theater is right by where I live so it is my #1 go to for all my movies. I have to say that the selection over the last few months has been very stagnant. I would like to see new movies shuffled in more frequently. A few of the movies playing now have been there for months and the selection in general lately has been very lacking. As a longtime and frequent patron, can we please try to mix up the selections and add new movies more frequently? Thank you

I was at the Landmark Theater to see the film on Aretha Franklin Amazing Grace it was fantastic it was all about her recording the album Amazing Grace I think everyone should go and see it the theater of course its very nice all of it people that she in the work that was very nice very gracious from showing you your seat at telling you where to go the people behind the counter selling the snacks

Review №85

Recently went there to see the movie Wind River. Because of the way the screen was laid out I had to sit towards the middle in order to get a good view of the movie. Other than that, the movie was easy to view and the sound was crystal clear. The seat was relatively comfortable and I enjoyed an unobstructed view. Although I didnt buy any popcorn this time around, in the past I like to buy theirs because its a higher-quality popcorn than what you usually get at most theaters, its also fresh and best of all they give you a lot of it!

It locates in a real good hood. But I do not know why they always choose a lot of minority films and indie films. You expected to see some amazing pictures and imagination on big screens, it would only give you something good but you would like to watch on TV.

Good theater located on the top floors of the Century Mall with more independent-type movies and the occasional blockbuster (e.g. Avengers, Star Wars). Some theaters have been updated with reclining seats, but others still have regular movie theater seats. There is a bar for pre- / post- movie drinks.

I like the variety of movies played here. Staff are friendly. Seats are comfortable. It would be great place to bring a date or a group. Their is the a Bad Axe down stairs.

I went there when the whole building was the Century Theater, one huge screen and loads of seats, one movie at a time. The last movie I saw there was Andromeda Strain. 1971 Then they demolished the inside and made the multiple screen thing. Then some years later they did that again. Updates etc. along the way and it got to the theater/mall it is now. It is loads better now. Parking is good. Good selection of movies. Nice remodel job.
