Did you know that movie theater popcorn has the equivalent of 3 days of saturated fat? 1200-1400 calories!! Visit personaltraningSF.com. Serving San Mateo County .

Smaller screens but sure to get a ticket for blockbusters on same day too and lots of free parking space near the theater and under the caltrain station. Great downtown to have dinner before movie .

Natalie M

Lots of street parking after 6pm you don't have to pay for the meters or parking !

Asha Servia

Neighborhood theater w/a slightly older feel. Plus side: you'll often find that older movies you missed at the premium theaters are still playing here. Buy your tickets for close to 1/2 off at Costco.

Varun

Small theatre, small screens. They do take Fandango though, so buy your tickets on the app and bypass the lines .

Lisa Tzur

Love love love the reclining seats ...be patient with the parking !

Bennett W Wong

Great go to spot for a movie date or watching movies together.

John Richards

Nice comfortable chairs with trays to eat off of during movie .

Alibek Datbayev

You can purchase tickets through Fandango or Cinemark apps/online on website and just bring the QR-code/confirmation code.

Comfy comfy comfy ????

Ellyn

Give yourself plenty of time to park and buy tickets on Saturday nights.

jeriann fleres

Put your phone on cinemode for free gifts . I just got a free medium soda and. Free hotdog !

Minda Calagui

Parking is terrible after six since it's free! I suggest watching earlier shows or be prepared to drive around for hours looking for parking .

Kate T.

Each room is tiny! Reasons like this are why I'd rather go to AMC. Only reason I'm here really, is because I have free movie tix for this theater.

Michael Alba

Century should invest in this downtown theater rather than building some new theater at Hillsdale.

Xiao Yu

Woah, leather motorized recliners?

Stephanie Sorensen-Segel

FREE PARKING on Sundays! Add the "early bird" show, and it's almost affordable to go to the movies !

Wayne Lee

Returned tickets for movie I could no longer go see. Very quick and friendly .

Richard Liu

Pre purchase tix from costco for cheap . Get there early on weekends to make sure you can get a good seat.

Michael Alba

Take Caltrain to the movies and leave the car at home!

Alvin Wong

Stupidly small theater!!!! If you don't get here early, you'll end up in the front row!

Ashwin

Grab a slice of New York Pizza just outside the theater.

Jonathan Hernan Carrillo

This is where I see movies , that is closer to my home.

Susan Wilhite

The occassional rumbling is not sound effects from the film next door, but Caltrain slamming through town .

Jamie B

Biggest movie has the smallest theater. Dissappointed!

Chris

Small but decent theater

John Fernandez SF

Park near the train station behind the theater. ;) personaltrainingSF.com serving San Mateo.

Evan Davis

Milkshakes at the concession stand!

Jenn E

Recliner seats 4lyfe

Daniel Shi

Buy tickets from Costco for $8. 32% cheaper.

Rahul Arora

Not a single soul around at 1pm. Try avoiding late night shows in the area.

Madolyn Yuen

Omg heated seats!!!!

DJLYRiQ

Go out through the exit near the screen to avoid the crowd!

Nick Carrington

Ask for a youth or senior citizen ticket. Sometimes it works to get in cheaper

Amanda Rodriguez

The line is insane! Fandango from your phone to bypass the line !

Chris Bledsoe

Get Sushi at Tenka before Movie . It's great

J Alexander B.

Try the motion pictures!

Alexander Wilkas

Early bird weekend showings a bargain day out if you have early-rising kids.

Very entertaining movie 2 Guns

DJ Latin Prince ✔ 

Happy New Years 2012 to all my movie goers.

Ivan Kukard

This is certainly NOT your mainstrean SK-type cinema

Edgar Chuang

Don't get the bulk candy , $11 per pound!!

Betsey Terry

Grab a slice of pizza at golden boy first

Morgan Collins

The pre show advertising is too loud .

Burgess N.

Overpriced...movie was all messed up in the beginning. One light went on in the middle of the movie and stayed on for about 5 minutes...very distracting.

Oisin Mcguigan

bring your own food! food here is awful!!!

Morgan Collins

What with the big bright light during the previews?

Michael Morris

If you watch Iron Man 2 stick around for the movie credits.

Unlike any other mall in the Bay Area. Meticulously maintained with a good store selection and not a single pesky kiosk clogging the walkway. A little small, but a great shopping center. - Alec Murphy

Little heavenly bites! It's like a giant profiteroles filled with perfectly sweet, light cream. Vanilla is perfect and barely lasts out the door. At $2 a pop, well worth it! - Lillian
