John Fernandez SFJune 12, 2011Did 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.Upvoted Mar 2
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 MJuly 2, 2016Lots of street parking after 6pm you don't have to pay for the meters or parking!
Asha ServiaDecember 4, 2010Neighborhood 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.- Love love love the reclining seats...be patient with the parking!
Minda CalaguiNovember 17, 2013Parking is terrible after six since it's free! I suggest watching earlier shows or be prepared to drive around for hours looking for parking.
Nice comfortable chairs with trays to eat off of during movie.
Kate T.December 26, 2013Each 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.- VarunJuly 20, 2015Small theatre, small screens. They do take Fandango though, so buy your tickets on the app and bypass the lines.
Alibek DatbayevAugust 13, 2014You can purchase tickets through Fandango or Cinemark apps/online on website and just bring the QR-code/confirmation code.
Put your phone on cinemode for free gifts. I just got a free medium soda and. Free hotdog!- Richard LiuAugust 13, 2010Pre purchase tix from costco for cheap. Get there early on weekends to make sure you can get a good seat.
This is where I see movies, that is closer to my home.
Alvin WongJanuary 17, 2012Stupidly small theater!!!! If you don't get here early, you'll end up in the front row!
Century should invest in this downtown theater rather than building some new theater at Hillsdale.
FREE PARKING on Sundays! Add the "early bird" show, and it's almost affordable to go to the movies!
- Take Caltrain to the movies and leave the car at home!
The occassional rumbling is not sound effects from the film next door, but Caltrain slamming through town.
- John Fernandez SFJune 12, 2011Park near the train station behind the theater. ;) personaltrainingSF.com serving San Mateo.
Nick CarringtonAugust 31, 2010Ask for a youth or senior citizen ticket. Sometimes it works to get in cheaper
Early bird weekend showings a bargain day out if you have early-rising kids.
- The line is insane! Fandango from your phone to bypass the line!
Burgess N.July 4, 2010Overpriced...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.
Brazenly walk in with snacks from outside. Damn the man.

"Brand spanking new theater that has a nice bar and in seat food ordering. No heated seats and servers are still trying to get their act together."
Andy Wang - 7.1
"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 - 6.3
"If you find yourself in San Mateo, drop by Under Attic for a cocktail, or two. Don't forget to get their sweet potato fries with the banana ketchup."

"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!"
