"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

The staff at this mall is amazing. I was surprised to see that it is still here, but it could definitely benefit from some improvements. For the area, this theater has the potential to be great. I’m genuinely shocked that in 2025, they still haven’t added reclining seats and don’t show more in-demand movies. However, the concessions and bar selection are fantastic, and I can’t say enough about the staff; I have yet to encounter a rude person here. Since many films are long, comfortable seating is important, especially considering that half of the mall is now gone. I’m surprised they haven’t expanded further or even added an IMAX theater.

Went to a premiere of Perkscription Productions premiere of "It's just Temporary" a sitcom coming to Amazon, Roku and Tubi streaming. It is about a guy who loses his job and has to move back with his family in Chicago, they own a temp agency and it was hilarious. Can't wait to see more! The theater was super comfy and clean. Snacks, full bar. The parking and validation was a little confusing but we figured it out! Great private premiere event, and I can't wait to see more from this production company!

I LOVE this theater! Last night, after dining at Sunset Pho Cafe next door, we stopped by Landmark to watch Mickey 17, which I had just finished reading the book that evening. The staff here are incredibly kind and efficient, whether at the ticket booth or the concession stand. This was my third visit, and my partner and I have also seen Venom: The Last Dance and Nosferatu here. Every time has been great! No complaints and a great option for date night, especially if you live in the Lakeview area.

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!

Went to a work get-together at Game Night Out. It was so much fun! Great time, good and funny hosts. We had to bring our own food, which made sense and increased the bonding. I remember Century Mall from the late 1980s not the same, sadly to say. The movie theater is still there with great shows. The other shops are eclipsed by an empty, barren mall. Sad 😔

It was very cold, no heat was on in room 1 in the middle of winter during the Dyan movie. That's how you bring back the audience to the theater experience?! I'll never go back there; if you can't afford to heat it close down for good instead of cheating people of a respectful cinema experience.

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!

We often go to this cinema theatre, I like that it is close to our neighbourhood, the vibe and it is usually clean when compared to AMC. BUT some of the scenes (auditoriums) have awful sound quality. I noticed the big auditoriums have this issue - its either too loud during the music or effects part of the movie and when it is dialogue it is impossible to hear clearly. The super small rooms have more comfortable seats and the sound is good, the overall experience there is nice. Unfortunately the most popular movies they alocate mostly the big auditoriums so we started to avoid going to Landmark if we see only big screens are available. Too bad. As for the popcorn - to me all popcorn is overpriced in most of the chain cinemas, the quality is not consistent, sometimes it is fresh and tasty others it is just chewy.
