This small theater in downtown Ventura is great for a movie night. Reclining seats that actually recline, a solid mix of movies, and an intimate setup that never feels chaotic. Overall vibe? Cozy and easy. Concessions move fast, and ordering ahead is a game changer. Love the selection of packaged snacks, the Icee machine, and yes, they even offer wine and beer. Pro tip for movie buffs: download the Cinemark app for rewards, hit up discount Tuesdays, and always reserve your seats ahead of time. read more

Good theater with big seats. Solid experience for regular matinee viewings. Unfortunately I've had several bad experiences with their one night specialty showings. They left the lights on during the first 30 minutes of Episode III. I went and saw that stupid Megalopolis movie opening day and no one from the staff asked Adam Driver the question out loud at that one part. My poor heart can't take that kind of disappointment again. My go to matinee theater though! read more

We love our local theater! I love how comfy the reclining chairs are. I love that you can bring a blanket. I love that the senior discount begins at 62 years old. Yay Me! What surprised me was that Hubby & i were able to see a movie @ 8:30 AM on the day after Christmas. We saw Song Sung Blue. We absolutely loved it. I usually buy the popcorn & a soda. They are always tasty. I wish that movies that are available in Los Angeles were available in Ventura. i would have loved to see Hamnet. read more

Neutral place to see a movie. Lobby has a kind of retro café vibe. It's clean, and discount Tuesday prices, especially matinee, is the real gem. Seats do recline! As with any cinema in 2026, prices (outside Tuesdays) for tickets and snacks are...quite steep. Drink selection is an analog Coca Cola press-style fountain and red/blue icee, along with coffee, beers and simple mixed drinks. Sometimes the line bottlenecks at the door where the attendant checks everyone's tickets. Gendered restrooms are at the far left and right of the lobby. Overall not a bad experience. read more

Wow! I hadn't been to this theatre since I was a teen. The reclining chairs are amazing !!!! I absolutely loved it. Popcorn was good too. It was pretty empty ... perfect for my movie watching! read more

Wonderful little neighborhood theatre. Staff are very helpful, comfy recliner seats, small theaters with non congested feel, fully stocked concessions with excellent, fresh popcorn, clean restrooms and overall a great place to see a movie in downtown Ventura! read more

The snacks and seats that lay back! Some dude sat next to me when i was trying to have alone time... that's my only complaint.

This is a smaller theater, but it does have v. comfortable reclining leatherette seats. Most of the individual theaters are on the smaller cozier side (8-10 rows) but there are 2 Larger auditorium theaters. Theater is kept very clean, great place to view movies read more

I really like this theater. I come for the chairs! Haha. Who doesn't love watching the latest flix with their feet up and some buttery popcorn! You can make a visit even smoother by getting your tickets online, selecting seats AND ordering your food. When you walk in the staff scans your code and you can go right to your where your snacks will be waiting for you! I highly recommend joining the movie club for great discounts, rewards, and even free tickets. read more

Century 10 Downtown - Cinema Near Me - Ventura, California

I watched a movie here at the Century 10 Downtown last night for the first time. Overall, it was a pretty good viewing experience. I had purchased my tickets online because of the convenience even though there was an extra on my ticket and charge, but that saved me to having to go in earlier to buy the ticket. The main lobby area is pretty impressive since has very tall ceilings and there is a staircase that you walk up in the front first and then you have the concession stand right there. Then the theaters are split by theater numbers on the left and to the right. The auditorium that I was in had reclining chairs so that was pleasant and comfortable. Similarly to what most theaters are doing now too is that it was reserved seating so I was able to stroll up minutes prior to the movie starting. There is a parking lot in the back. Unfortunately, when I got there it was full already so I had to park on the street. There is metered parking on the streets and it ends at 9 PM. So I didn't have to pay too much for actual parking. This is a great place to catch a movie especially if you're in the downtown Ventura area. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Came to watch Scary movie today June 18 and the audio wasn't working having issues. Mentioned to theater staff and they said it would be "fixed" keep in mind it was not busy and there were about 4 to 5 employees. After the first few minutes the audio came back and was good for about 20 minutes but then the issue occurred again. This time we were over it. We had been there for an hour (30 minutes of previews and commercials and then they rest being the movie). Went to the front to request our refund and were told no. Only vouchers for a future movie. So we wasted our time coming to the movies and we couldn't even get our refund and only vouchers to a future visit. Even though I am not planning on coming back to this disappointment establishment. Save your money and go to Edward's cinema instead. Very disappointing with "management" nothing we can do but give you this piece of paper for a future visit. read more

Small movie theater but it's comfortable! Their customer service is not really cordial, but at least they aren't rude. Most of the times when my family go and watch a movie we chose to go during the morning which is usually empty. It's kept clean and the seats are really comfortable! I like that they are recliners and I can stretch my legs and be extra comfortable while watching a movie. Their popcorn is good, nothing particularly special but good. Their ICEE is also good. They have snacks, soft drinks, wine and other drinks. I wanted a tea since it was a cold morning today, but they hadn't opened their bar area yet, so I couldn't get one. Good movie theater! read more

Century 10 is a great spot to catch a movie. Starting with it's comfortable reclining chairs. You literally put your feet up while watching the movie. The concession stand is fully stocked with all the usual movie snacks as well as beer and wine. Every time I've been to the theatre it's been clean and well maintained. Century 10 is a great spot the next time you want to go to the movies! read more

Yesterday evening I was at the register and the lady with dark make up and many piercings was super hospitable and really helpful. I didn't know how to use the cinemark app until she noticed and immediately helped me figure it out. Not only did she help, but she was very kind while doing it. Thank you cinemark for a great night out! read more

Awesome theater. Great location. Great staff. Clean theater. Clean bathrooms. 10 screens. Luxury loungers. Hope people continue to support and value this place. read more

Cinemark, I did you dirty leaving this angry review up so long! This has become one of my favorite movie theaters, especially since the Regency in Camarillo closed. I love the recliners! Popcorn is fresh and the employees are heavy-handed with the butter when you ask them to be. I do wish you showed more small movies and/or kept them onscreen a bit longer, but I also get that the modern business model is Marvel on half the screens, animation on the rest. Glad to report that audience behavior has significantly improved in the last decade too. read more

The staff at this theater is always lovely and kind. They make you feel at home when so many people don't venture out to theaters any more due to streaming services. **It was my 80 year old mom's first time in theater since 2020/Covid, and she felt comfortable enough to plan another theater outing in the near future!** The reclining seats are comfortable, popcorn fresh, tried the French fries for first time and pleasantly surprised. Theater and restroom clean, but again, most of all the people make the difference there. We will be back! read more

On the day my gf and I went to see an opening of a movie we booked our seats in advance. However, our seats were double booked by another party. Needless to say we were disappointed. Charlie the manager on duty that day was to the rescue! Above and beyond customer service. My gf and I were very pleased with getting passes and perks for the inconvenience of having to rearrange our schedule for a different time of the showing. Thank you again Charlie! read more

I have been going to this theater for years and I have never been more disappointed. Over the years I have grown both mentally and physically but this theater has never grown. It is always the same issue. Popcorn is always all over the ground and it gets stuck in peoples shoes. This theater will always shock me to how garbage it is. 1 out of 5 stars. read more

Liked the curved screen and the sound level was perfect. Friendly staff. Clean and comfortable lounger seats. Loved the outside retro vibe. Good choice of concessions offered, enjoyed a non alcoholic beer and popcorn. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. read more

I love this theater! It's cozy, clean, and who doesn't love recliner seats? I like that you can get your tickets online and reserve your seat ahead of time. It makes the process so much easier. I got the Cinemark movie club pass solely based on how happy I was with the experience at this theater. Concessions have always been good. Love the fresh popcorn and extra cold drinks every time I go in. I enjoy that this location is on Main Street on downtown which makes it perfect for a date night; you can go grab dinner & drinks before or after your showtime. Parking at the nearby parking structure makes it less of a pain than trying to find street parking. read more

Ahh the movies!! Great place to catch the latest movies in the heart of beautiful Downtown Ventura. I love this movie theater, very clean, friendly staff and fantastic seats. We watched Kung Fu Panda 4 and we all had a great time. The popcorn was fresh and the red Icee was tasty. Some of the seats are starting to sink in, but they are still comfortable and the fact that they recline is definitely a big plus! read more

The seats are very dirty every time I go. The popcorn is also very stale. Movie theaters are also very warm, even at night.

Absolutely love this movie theater. Such a classic facade with a very modern feel inside. Big, cozy recliners in the theaters and a lot of options for concessions, including beer and wine. $5 Tuesdays are the best! read more

We love taking a quick trip downtown to this theatre but what is with the recent selections??? All action or fantasy or just crap. No first run movies in a long time! And they haven't changed in weeks. What's going on? read more

I absolutely love coming to this cinemark location! I love the reclining seats! I always come to this theater on opening week for movies I want to see. I recently came to see Saw X. They also always have a full stock on all snacks. I do wish they still did the free refill on large popcorn, but I know its a cinemark policy now. The staff are also always friendly! Parking can get a but full but they do have lots of free parking available. I also am a movie club member and come very often. On Tuesdays they also have special discounts on tickets. read more

This is by far the best theater I've been to. It offers comfortable reclining chairs, fresh popcorn, clean restrooms and great staff. Josh was very helpful, he was fast and sweet during the rush of people in line for the concessions. Pro tip: Cinemark rewards is a must if you come to theaters often! read more

I'm not a movie theater person however if there is any movie I have to see in the movie theater I always come here. I love the seating it's so nice you can reserve the exact seats to sit in. The people working there are so nice. I always get popcorn and maybe this is my only complaint. The popcorn was not the freshest. The kernels were tiny all broken and made for a very messy fingers. I love the reclining seats and that they sell beer on tap. The theater itself was nice and clean the floors weren't sticky. Very convenient to get into the movie theater from the parking garage. read more

Went to order food and employees were just hanging out, guess no one felt like working. Tried to order food on their website but couldn't do that either. Should probably also mention the recliner seats are literally painfully uncomfortable. This is the last place I would ever want to go to see a movie. Never coming back. read more

Been going here for years now. Never had a bad experience and I love the reclining seats. The only downside would be how the concession stand closes I think at like 10 or 11. Every time I go back out to grab about snack it's typically closed. Other than that this movie theater is a great choice. read more

I arranged to meet someone at this theater to see a movie, first time since covid. We were so excited to go see a film we had been looking forward to, got there early and parked. We walked up to the ticket window and a young woman was sitting there whose job it was to sell us tickets was on the phone chatting away quietly absorbed in some kind of personal conversation. We indicated that we needed to buy tickets because the movie was about to start, and she just continued talking on the phone ignoring us standing there. I went inside to ask another young woman to help us, so we could get to the movie on time, and she went to tell the other young woman to get off the phone because someone had complained. The ticket window person now got off the phone and directly asked me if I had complained about her being on the phone. To which I said could we buy our tickets now please? But she clearly wanted to start an argument or a fight, so I walked away and asked for a manager, who finally showed up and sold us two tickets. But he did not reprimand her or fire her on the spot, so it is clearly part of their policy to treat paying customers the way that she had. This kind of toxic atmosphere directed at the public is just exactly what should not get supported in local businesses. We were finally so offended that we left and didn't go back to see the movie. An unbelievable way to treat people. I highly recommend not supporting this business. read more

It was very relaxing, especially for senior's like me.Very good pricing and like the fact they have,wine and beer.Wish they had hard alcohol as well. read more

I love this little downtown movie theater, it's located walking distance from my home so that of course makes it at least 4 stars based on convenience. The people who work here are friendly. If you see at least 1 movie a month you would save money by joining the movie club because it will waive online fees for booking ahead and also give you a discount on snacks. If go you go less than once a month, or if you aren't buying additional tickets for friends and family members you probably won't save by joining the club I love the recliner seats. Free parking is quite close by, either behind the library and the theater or across the street in the covered parking structure. On my wish list are only 2 things: I wish on discount Tuesday (and really simply every day) there were more movies earlier in the day. When I lived in Kern county there were movies available at multiple theaters starting as early as 10:30am, around here there is often nothing any earlier than 4:30 pm. Phooey. And second, I wish they could add coffee to the snack bar. I know, I know, if you're not gonna have movies any earlier than 4:00pm why would you sell coffee? I dunno, I just love the combo of popcorn and coffee and many of the theaters in Santa Clarita and further south in LA started offering it. Otherwise - this place is great! read more

Love this theater. It's smaller than the auditoriums at Riverpark which means fewer people. All of the seats are recliners. Love to take my kids here. read more

This is my favorite movie theater in the area, for many reasons. First and foremost the comfortable seats! When they redesigned the interior a while back I was literally so impressed I quit going to most all other movie theaters, and every time I tried some of the new theaters in the area I always went right back to Century 10 and was so grateful that this theater is in Ventura, because a lot of these new theaters just really suck in comparison! Century 10 now has more comfortable seats than ALL the other theaters, they're wide and cozy and recline. They also have much better food options, and better drinks. They serve alcohol, and they have coffee like starbucks. They have some of the best hot dogs and popcorn, they have pizza and lots of candy, even bulk candy. They also have the movie club so you can get discounts on the food, candy, drinks, admission and earn free tickets, and 1 free ticket per month is awesome! I love this theater, and it's right on Main street, so it's so perfect for "Date night" because you can go out to eat, get a movie and after go get a drink and walk down to the beach. It's just in the most perfect spot. Love it! read more

Clean and modern movie theatre with comfortable reclining seats. Prices are competitive for a downtown location in Main Street, especially during their early bird specials. Sound and picture quality were superb when we watched the Batman. Great value and great seats! read more

Century 10 is a pretty modern movie theatre with leather reclined seats and very competitive prices. It's a smaller theater so don't expect to see many movies last there for multiple weeks. I would highly recommend booking tickets in advance because the showrooms are pretty small. I usually like to book the last 3 rows to avoid being too close to the screen, and those usually get booked pretty quickly during prime time hours. read more

Love this theater in the heart of downtown Ventura. Reclining seats,you can order your food ahead of time and have it delivered to your seat. Or wait till the movie is over and walk downtown and find a place to eat. The beach is only a couple blocks away. Shopping nearby. read more

Century 10 Downtown - Downtown Ventura - Cinema Near Me - Ventura, California

I'm glad for this local theater that is within walking distance of home. It's very convenient! What I don't like are the reclining seats that are incredibly uncomfortable in the upright position and the blinding light panel around the controls that I have to hold my hand over so I can watch my movie. Shame on Cinemark Theaters for carrying Coca-Cola products as the only choice for beverages. Options are needed, especially in light of Coca-Cola's openly political discrimination against the state of Georgia. I will not purchase a Coca-Cola product and, since there are no other choices to wash down food with, I sadly cannot purchase anything to eat as a result. Theaters rely on their concession sales but this chain is determined to hurt itself in this regard. read more

Moved up from 4 to 5 stars in my book and moved me to write a review thanks to their new large recliner seats with built in drink holders, extra leg room, and no heads blocking your view due to spacing and reclining. Free parking is sometimes available behind the theatre or in the parking garage across the street. You can cut through Fox jewelry to access. Special pricing is available for matinees and some weekdays, with reserved seating thru fandango. The popcorn is good and service is friendly. We go at odd times so it isn't crowded for us. Big clean bathrooms, and nice small local movie place right on Main Street. read more
