Century Park Redwood 12

The parking lot would suit a football stadium. So it has that going for it. On the other hand: the chairs are very old and don't have remotely enough padding for tired old bones like mine. I went to an early show there and the snack bar hadn't been running long enough for the hot dogs to be hot or the popcorn to be popped. Bad planning, dudes.

The one and only time I've been to this planet-sized theater, I went to the largest of the many auditoriums, which is about the size of the Century 24 theater in San Jose all by itself. I sat in the middle at the very top. I guess the vast dark emptiness scared the other people who wanted to see that movie too, because they all crowded in next to me as if I were their protector.

The chairs are OLD and the floors are sticky. They've had the same chairs for the past 10+ years. Check the chair before you sit down on the cushion and make sure there's no gum or other surprises on it. Also make sure that the chair actually WORKS. Some chairs are utterly broken. I would suggest that if you're going to watch a long movie (2hrs+) you choose another theater because your neck and butt will be sore afterwards.

The GOOD thing about this theater is that there is ALWAYS parking. The parking lot is HUGE so parking is never a hassle. Other than that, the theater is in the middle of nowhere so you'll need to drive further to downtown if you want to get something to eat before or after the movie.
