Landmark Theatres

Very clean place. Ive been here three times before. The theater is spacious. So far the times ive came havent been over croweded.

We saw not one but 2 movies over the weekend and everything was back to perfection, from purchasing tickets, picking out seats, buying the best popcorn in town (real butter) and the actual movie viewing experience itself:
This was an experience we rate A+!

I live walking distance from this location. It is definitely my go to for movie watching. I never walk there to buy my ticket though. Because I am a planner. I plan all my social activities and make sure I have my optimal entertainment. So I buy movie tickets a week in advance and get the best middle seat and the best height. I don’t mess around.
You can cancel your tickets all the way til the showing time. Which I’ve never done because I’m a responsible adult. Which I tell myself as this next example comes along.
One time I went here after drinking a ton with my girlfriend at gyu kaku which is across the street. My girlfriend was passing out in the theatre so we left and I asked the customer service if I could switch times so she could sleep it off. Insanely accommodating.
Ticket prices are right. Screen size for the newest movie is the biggest one. I’ve never sat in their couch theatre. I need to try. I drank alcohol at the bar and inside the theatre which was cool, but I don’t do it anymore because it makes me want to pee during the movie. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I like it. Ppl are nice.
They didn’t show deadpool valentines weekend. 2016. That was really weird and disappointing. Does landmark not show r rated movies? I dunno. Doesn’t matter. I like it here. If you want to go here just do it.

Assigned seats and alcohol served for about the same price as regular movie tickets. What’s not to love?
It’s not the full luxury theater experience where you’re in an ez chair that reclines all the way and you have waiter service. You order drinks at the bar outside the theater and can bring them inside, and the seats are pretty much the same as regular movie theater seats, but at least they’re reserved.
You get 3 hours parking for free, too. Great experience.

Ok I’ll cut to the chase I love love love this theatre. Just a fantastic way to see a movie I’m addicted to the concierge service and couches omg the super comfy plush leather couches it’s just the best way to watch, enjoy and savor a movie with your partner, spouse, boyfriend/​girlfriend and in some cases both…
I make it a point to grab a spouse and girlfriend or two and head into the city have a great meal and hit the Landmark for an indulgent snuggle and movie night. I’m a regular having lived on the Westside and now frequent visitor. I have Cineopolis and Muvico with VIP options near me in Westlake Village but I still love everything about the Landmark. It’s my go too and the only way to enjoy a movie. The ambiance and vibe is intimate, welcoming and first class yet very professional but not obtrusive.
We enjoyed «Brooklyn» this week and «Carol» last week along with the cast of characters who treat the Landmark couches as there personal playground for a few hours everyday. I loved the woman next to us who brought a robe and slippers to sprawl out on the couch with or the couple in front of us who raided Gelson’s on the way over with a fruit and cheese plate, baquette, chips and dip and I think cold pasta salad with chocolate covered strawberry’s for dessert not to mention the Sparkletts sized bottle of wine.
Yes food and of course adult beverages are sold and welcome in the Theatre.

Love this movie theater. It is very convenient for us. Parking is free for two hours (I believe) and with a validation. A big shopping mall is just on the opposite site of it. There are some good restaurants near the movie theater. And It shows Oscar nominated movies in foreign language for free every year! Directors and actors come after showing the movie for a Q & A session. This is really cool! We saw numerous European Oscar nominated movies in addition to regular ones. Also, I love that this movie theater shows intellectual and independent movies from around the world, not just Hollywood blockbusters.

This is a nice small theatre. I like the reserved seating and validated parking. The attendants are very nice and approachable. It is always clean and the bathrooms are tidy. I also love the fresh flower arrangement, nice touch!

Boy oh boy!
I came to the landmark on Christmas Eve to see Star Wars the force awakens. Great thing is assigned seats!
I just to live in NYC was was familiar with that landmark but LA is a whole other world. Underground parking (super high tech technology) most the the movie goers were Jews as we like to go to the movies near Christmas. It was great people watching.
The food court had everything you could possibly want. It was a 10pm showing so I had a peets cappuccino with soy milk!!!
They gave us free parking to the theater. Def enjoyed and also cocktails!!!

Great Location, Nice theater if you are NOT sitting in a SCREENING LOUNGE.
We sat in screening lounge 9, seats D2 and D3… the love seat right in front of the Railing there.
Nevermind the pictures on the Website, these couches are SMALL. Miniature couches like in a lobby of a cheap office building. Tiny, like sitting in the front seat of a mini cooper.
Extremely uncomfortable, with NO back support or headrest. The Revenant’s 2 hour and 36 minute running time was excruciating. I noticed everyone around me, including myself scrunched down in the seat as far as we could as the lack of a headrest is sorely missed after you sit on these couches for just half an hour.
We measured it with my mans size 10 shoe and it is exactly a FOOT clearance from your seat and the railing. A person has to completely stand to let a person exit into the aisle. I am 5’10 and my knees were almost touching the rail. THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLE seat I’ve EVER sat in. Complained to the manager afterward, received two free passes but you couldn’t GIVE me passes to the Screening Lounge again. Will use in one of the other theaters.
If you want plush, pay the extra cash and visit an i-​pic theater. Now that’s REAL comfort!
I felt totally mislead and Up-​sold by the photos, don’t you be! The landmark is suppose to be «superior» with their Wine Bar and all yet the screening lounge is a Cheap Joke. Those leather couches are the perfect size for Midgets and those unfortunately without legs.
Boo!!!

Visited with two coworkers on ¹²⁄₃₀ @1045a for the release of «Anomalisa». We were upstairs in theater 12. This theater has an adjacent parking structure that validates for up to 3 hours for FREE. Parking at the hour we went was no trouble and elevators into theater are easily accessible. We bought our tickets online so we saved the time of having to wait in line to purchase any. Even if you don’t order your tickets online there are two options there to get yours. One being with the staff and the other is a self serve kiosk. Although the ticketing lines were that packed the concession stands definitely were. At least for the time that we were there. The price range was pretty standard compared to other theater chains in the LA area. We walked away with 2 sodas, 1 bottled water, 2 boxed candies, a medium popcorn, and a hot dog for a little over $ 30. Make sure to ask for a box if you’re sharing popcorn there aren’t any on the side area where the condiments are. Upon walking upstairs to our theater we noticed there was a small concession stand with absolutely no line. Had we known there was one upstairs we would have avoided the lines downstairs. Props to the staff downstairs though for keeping the lines going fairly quickly.
The movie was scheduled for a 1045a start and we arrived about 5 – 7 min late. I thought we would be okay since most films show a few trailers before the actual film. Guess we were wrong, haha. The theater was fairly big, clean, and had nice stadium style leather seats. Since we arrived a little late I was able to notice that there was a fairly good amount of leg room between each row of seats. Passing the guests that were already seated was no trouble at all. Only thing that I would suggest changing up is the stair lighting after a movie has started. It was pretty dark and I could not see the row letters to find iur seats. I unfortunately had to bust out my phone to light a small path. No complaints towards the Landmark since that was our fault in arriving late.
Parking:5
Ticket price:4/5
Concessions: ⁴⁄₅
Theater: 5
Restrooms: 5
Overall, a great experience at the Landmark! I will definitely be returning :)

I started coming to the Landmark recently to watch independent and artsy films and I immediately fell in love. Much like a real theater for plays, you have to preselect your seats at purchase, so it’s really meant for smaller groups. The larger rooms are like most other new theaters, with stadium style seating. However, they have smaller «living rooms» with comfy leather lounge chairs and sofas. It’s basically like being in someone’s living room.
Other perks — they have a bar/​lounge and you can bring your cocktails into the theaters. They also have a larger range of snacks above and beyond the normal popcorn, red vines, etc., such as gourmet chocolates, caramel corn, pocky sticks, etc. yum!

This particular theatre has been doing the comfy/​cool/​luxury theatre thing before it was trendy! I have always loved this place because it feels so un-​theatre like!
They have great food offerings which are actually not insanely priced! They also have some small theatres with comfy couches but their bigger showings have traditional seating. However, what I do like about their traditional seating is that it is tiered very nicely so even if a tall person sits in front of you, you can still see! Yay for the shorties like me!
Another huge plus about this place is the cool bar that they have. They also regularly show hard to find indie movies and have Q&As with directors etc. So awesome! Overall this is a great movie experience. I really appreciate that they don’t charge crazy premiums for their great service.

I went to Landmark Theatres to see the first showing of ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’. This was my first time, but several of my friends have been there numerous times, and consider it one of their theaters of choice. This theater also tends to show a lot of indie flicks, too, so good to know if you’re into those movies. I personally love the reserved seating!
The snack selection there is immense, and a horrible place to be if you’re on a diet. Prices are movie theater prices, so prepare to spend a few bucks at the concession.
The theater itself is clean with comfortable seats that recline and obligatory cup holders on all armrests (sadly, still not a staple in all theaters yet). The staff is helpful and pleasant. There was a major coffee spill near us and the staff was quick to arrive with tags to help clean the mess. Because of the reserved seating, Ushers actually do usher you to your seat. Perhaps the most uncomfortable moment is when one Usher has to stand before the theater full of moviegoers and conduct orientation and into the movie. It’s not really necessary, but still a nice touch and it helps people confront their fear of speaking in public.
There were only 3 trailers shown before the movie, which was nice. I’m tired of being lulled into the ignorance of forgetting what movie I’ve paid to see because of the 5 – 6 trailers forced upon me. Otherwise, the movie aspect itself was pretty typical.
Parking is very simple in the Westside Pavilion parking structure, and it’s 3 hours free with your validation… and PLEASE take car of any parking payment at the MANY pay stations before you go to your car. Don’t be that guy that hold up everyone else at the gate. They also had staff directing traffic as you exited most-​likely because of the movie opening. I always appreciate it when a venue has a plan and can execute it. Our departure was very smooth despite the massive vehicular ebb and flow of opening day moviegoers.
Unfortunately, these theaters are pretty far from home for me but I would seize any opportunity to return.

I can always depend on finding purposeful + powerful films showing here. It’s a good mix of popular blockbusters and indie arthouse films.
+ Reserved seating
+ Fancy food + drinks — Odwalla smoothies, organic banana chips, Hebrew National hot dogs, La Brea bakery pretzels
+ Films are always welcomed and greeted by staff prior to starting
+ Clean, spacious, comfortable leather, slightly reclining seats, no old theater smell!
+ Parking: First 3 hours free with validation

If you’re on the Westside, the Landmark should be at the top of your list when choosing where to see the latest blockbuster or arthouse film for a number of reasons, such as affordability (cheaper than AMC, Arclight, and Pacific Theaters), ease of parking (3 hours free in the massive Westside Pavilion Garage that extends on both sides of Westwood Blvd), and comfort (super clean, comfy and classy).
AMBIANCE:
While the layout of the theater is unconventional owing to its location in Westside Pavillon, the Landmark exudes a level of classiness (without pretentiousness!) that other theaters lack. This isn’t your average multiplex *cough* like AMC and Cinemark *cough*. Although everything is relatively compact, there are all the amenities and services one would expect from a theater of this caliber: friendly ushers guiding guests to seats and introducing the movie, an interesting (but overpriced) snack bar, and a wine bar for pre– or post-​movie drinks and snacks. I also appreciate how the Landmark regularly features Q&A with actors, directors, and screenwriters and sometimes gives away promotional material related to films (i.e. the first six chapters of Divergent [novel] when viewing Catching Fire). The costumes and props from current and upcoming films offer a nice alternative to the giant cardboard cutouts that grace most other theaters.
TICKETING:
Unless you’re purchasing bargain weekday (morning/​afternoon) or bargain weekend tickets (first showing of the day), tickets cost approximately $ 13.50. There’s a $ 1 service fee per ticket if you purchase online. That’s pricier than what you’d pay on discount Tuesday at LA Live and Cinemark, but still cheaper than AMC and Arclight! Since all seats are reserved (fairly standard in LA), it’s worth it to buy at least an hour in advance for less popular films and at least several days in advance for opening weekend of a major blockbuster. You can return or exchange tickets up to one hour prior to the scheduled showtime. NOTE: Landmark doesn’t typically release pre-​sale tickets for movies months or weeks in advance. Rather, you’ll have to wait until the week of to buy advance sale tickets. Since the Landmark regularly shows blockbusters (e.g. Hunger Games, Star Wars, etc.), you can safely assume that those tickets will eventually go on sale.
SEATING:
As previously mentioned, the seating here is assigned, so reserve in advance! If you’re in one of the conventional theaters, you will be treated to stadium seating in comfortable, plush, leather (?) chairs, which make for a nice viewing experience (unless you’re in the very front — screens tend to be high!). The real standout, however, is the screening lounge, one of three theaters modeled after your living room. These are small, intimate spaces that accommodate approximately 20 – 40 people. As others have noted, the screens are smaller than the larger theaters, but still nothing to scoff at; I definitely wouldn’t be able to replicate the image and sound in my own apartment! The drawbacks of these rooms are the lack of legroom (aisle = 1.5 feet) and inability to recline (less back support unless you slump down in the chair). If you’re seated in Theater 11, note that the very last and first row have the most leg room, and there’s a railing in front of the row before the aisle (row E, I think).
PARKING:
3 hours free in any of the Westside Pavilion garages — no validation needed! (You’ll be closer to the theater if you park in the garage west of Westwood Blvd.) Should your trip to the area last longer than 3 hours, you can get validation from the theater for discounted parking ($ 3 for 5 hours). It can get a bit hectic in the garage on weekend evenings, though, so make sure to leave enough time to find a space!
LOCATION:
Westside Pavilion isn’t a shopping destination. Sure, you’ll probably find at least a couple of stores you like, but the food options in the mall are mostly limited to fast food. However, there are some decent bars and restaurants along Pico or Westwood. Like most areas of LA, traffic on Westwood and Pico are nightmare-​inducing during rush hour.

Love how they have indie film selections here!
Free parking up to three hours!
Assigned seats & very comfy
Helpful ushers
Clean bathrooms
Pretty much upscale entertainment experience.

Today I visited the Landmark again — my second visit — specifically to try one of their SCREENING LOUNGEs which are their smaller theaters with couch seating. Truthfully, my experience today was a little disappointing. It wasn’t bad; it was just okay — probably 3 stars. But I’m leaving my review at 4 stars because my first visit there in a regular theater was great, and your experience in a regular theater or screening lounge can be too, if you choose your theater and seat wisely.
For future reference, the Landmark has 12 theaters located on two levels. The bottom level of the Landmark has a large concession area, wine bar, and theaters 1 through 7. The top level has a much, much smaller concession area and theaters 8 through 12. The three screening lounges are in theaters 9, 10 & 11 upstairs.
PURCHASING TICKETS
Of course, you can purchase tickets in person on the first level of the Landmark, or you can pre-​purchase your tickets online to pick your seat (s) and bypass purchasing lines. If you pre-​purchase and want to try a screening lounge, use Landmark’s website, click on the «Amenities» tab and then select the «screening lounges» filter. Note: this filter is unfortunately not available on their phone app or mobile site — just on their regular internet site. One more note: the iPhone app just simply does not work for ordering.
If you pre-​purchase tickets, bypass the downstairs lines by either printing your tickets at home or just show your e-​mail confirmation on your phone to the usher. Easy. Remember, the screening lounges are upstairs.
Of the three screening lounges, theater 9 is the smallest with just 27 seats on 2– or 3-​person couches, plus two individual leather chairs. Screening lounges 10 & 11 each have 40 seats — still intimate, but with an extra row or two of couches.
SEATING
Because I visited alone today, I pre-​purchased one of the individual leather chairs in screening lounge 9. Here are my impressions.
First, the theater does feel small, but thankfully the screen does not. My seat was in Row D, and while the individual leather chair itself was very comfortable, the row is extremely narrow, with a metal railing running the length of the row just in front of the seat. The legroom is non-​existent. It’s odd that Landmark would make attempts to make the screening lounge a comfortable, even luxurious experience and then cram this row so close to the railing, making it impossible for guests in the center of the row to exit comfortably. My single seat was at the end of the row, so I had to stand and exit the row to let two people into the row. From what I could tell, this condition only exists with Row D. Row E has more room, and Row C has plenty of room since it is on entry level. I don’t know about Row B which is a step down from entry level.
My advice to you: if you’re seeing a movie in screening lounge 9, do not select Row D if you want to stretch your legs.
Other notes about couch seating: if you’re a single person who selects a seat on a 2– or 3-​person couch, or if you’re a pair who selects seats on a 3-​person couch, you may have a stranger sitting next to you, without an arm rest between you. This may not be a big deal to some people. I wouldn’t like it, though. In the theater today, two young girls had two seats on a 3-​person couch which they shared with an older gentleman who fidgeted constantly. It just seemed odd to me. So select your couch wisely.
Also, the two couches in front seem too close to the screen.
CONCESSIONS
The concession stand for theaters 8 through 12 upstairs is quite small. I don’t know if it offers everything that the one downstairs does, like specialty coffees and fountain sodas, but it was fine for me because I ordered simply: a medium popcorn and a larger bottle of water; they came to $ 10.25. You may want to order items downstairs and take them up to your theater.
CUSTOMER SERVICE
As with my first visit, the staff of the Landmark is very friendly and helpful. Like Arclight, a Landmark rep will address the crowd before the movie to give you run time and parking information, which is helpful.
PARKING
Today’s visit was during a busier time of day than my previous one, and it makes a difference during parking and exiting. However, it still wasn’t bad — though I can see that exiting the underground parking structure could be a nightmare during peak hours. Remember: if you are at the theater and/​or the mall for three hours or less, there is no charge and no need to validate. If you’re there longer than three hours, do validate at the theater kiosk to save a couple bucks: $ 3 for three to five hours vs. $ 5 without validation.
NUTSHELL
Because of the convenience of pre-​purchasing reserved seating and skipping lines, inexpensive ticket prices, free parking, friendly service, and comfortable seats IF you choose wisely, a movie at the Landmark is a very pleasant experience. (Just avoid Row D of screening lounge 9 if you’re tall.)

The theatre/​er staff are welcoming, caring, accommodating, and helpful-​ing. If you have pre-​paid passes for the theater, but want to reserve seats, call the theater ahead of time because the website doesn’t have the capability.
There were 5 – 7 ushers in the theater all congregated around each other… too many. But, I guess it’s good have an abundance than not enough.
The seats were really comfortable (leather?), perhaps more so than the Arclight.
Note 1: No more Barnes & Noble. It’s been gone for a while. If you get there early, have a drink at their wine bar or Westside Pavilion (downstairs), and wander around the unexciting/​unexcitable mall.
Note 2: The movie theater review page is not the place to critique the movie you just saw… Audrey L take note!

I remember a while back the theaters here were super small with equally small screens.
Now, the situation is much improved. The theaters are medium sized, actually perfect I think.
The seating is reserved and they aren’t super easy to find. It would have been nice to have an usher inside to help direct people to their seats.
My seat was a sofa in the second row. It felt very cushy and comfy for about fifteen minutes, but after that, my back started hurting. No support at all. Everyone with me said the same thing about the sofas. They are comfy, but your back might be aching after the movie if you choose to sit on one.
You get three hours of free parking in the parking structure, so hooray for that.
Next time I go, I will choose the regular theater seats in the rear section of the theater.
Of course, should you choose to sit on a sofa, and you have someone to snuggle with, then the aching back might be worth it, or not noticeable.

One of the most ironic things about some of the more metropolitan areas of Los Angeles is that people tend to have better manners as theatergoers than as drivers.
The Landmark is no exception to that personal observation of mine… traffic outside and parking inside the underground space is always terrible (especially during rush hour), but I can always expect crowds to be pretty well mannered.
What I do love about the Landmark — in addition to its nicer theatergoers — is its modern music video-​ish décor, friendly workers, clean restrooms and most importantly its commitment to ensuring you have a great movie watching experience that is free of distraction.
I also need to mention the seats are leather and comfortable… REALLY comfortable.
I’ve been to The Landmark three times and each time has always been a reliably good experience. As bad as rising movie ticket prices have been, I don’t mind forking out a bit more if every theater can provide the experience The Landmark does.
Tip: You get three hours of parking free with validation.

High-​quality theater with a deserved reputation. Excellent seats, clean theaters, and prompt customer service.
The only drawback here is the crowd. I advise buying your tickets well in advance and preparing yourself to weave through many groups of people to get to the theater. Because of this, budget extra time if you want to order any concessions too.

I was here last week for an Advance-​Screening of a film. I’m giving it 3 Stars because I didn’t get in to see the film, so I can’t review the whole theatre with screen, seats, and etc. I will review the layout, atmosphere, and staff interaction.
Walking into this theatre was cool because you just simply take the escalator up and then you are in the theatre. You can order your tickets on a kiosk or go to a person at the counter. I went to the gentleman at the counter to ask him where we go for the advance screening of the film. He was very friendly, kind, and directed me effectively.
From what I saw, everything was clean, no issues, friendly staff members all around, and the parking was easy. I want to come back to enjoy a film based on the other Unilocal reviews. Once I do, I’ll update my review on the entire experience. So stay tuned. Do visit this place though.

I think my review disappeared. My favorite theater in America. The seats are leather, smaller than a 1^st class seat on Virgin but just as comfortable and plush. Good leg room too.
You can now bring WINE from the Landmark, which serves reasonably-​priced pizza, salad and sides (the green bean fries are a must). There used to be two theaters designated as 21 and over, but they dropped the restriction some time ago. The manager of the Landmark told me they did a cost-​benefit analysis of plastic cups for wine (Solo!) vs glass and found that there was little difference.
The crowd that comes to this theater doesn’t steal cheap wine glasses to use at home. And with Woody Allen movies, foreign films, and some mainstream films (Straight Outta Compton playing when my mother and I went to see the sublime Learning to Drive with Patricia Clarkson and Ben Kingsley), you get an older WLA crowd not likely to be careless and rowdy.
This movie theater pretty much ruins you for any other theater in America. It’s like the Arclight but West Hollywood is too far for a Santa Monica or Palisades person unless there for some other reason. Manhattan Beach is Southbay and Westsiders generally don’t venture down there unless they have a compelling reason to do so.
I love this theater more than words can say. Ushers, assigned seating, wine, great sound, and three hours free parking.
Heaven. Now that I’m back in LA, I will start seeing movies more regularly.
(Santa Barbara theaters are the worst. Goleta has a good one but it’s way the hell out in Box Store Land with Costco and Home Depot. Thank God I am back in civilization.)

I rarely come here because the rest of the Westside Pavilion mall isn’t that great, and occasionally the movies I want to see aren’t showing, but I do like to come here when I can because:
++ Free parking x 3 hours!
++ Buy a beer from the adjacent Westside Tavern and bring it in to the movie with you. Ahhhhh yes, movie and beer.
++ Super comfy seats & assigned seating!
++ Fairly reliable touch screens to order your movie tickets, if you’re not into talking to an employee like me.
– As previously mentioned, the rest of the mall is so-​so; for example, the Banana Republic is relatively small with limited selection.
– A more limited selection of movies, but they do have some indie flicks — not my thing, but this may be a plus for many other people.
