Century Theaters Riverside 12

Close to home.
It’s usually my choice in movie theaters since it is close to home, has easy accessible free parking, and the prices are bad. I believe there are at least 6 theaters to choose from. I can’t comment on the snack bar since I never get popcorn or a soda, don’t want to miss any part of the movie by needing the restroom. Which, by the way, have always been clean and well maintained. Each theater is decent sized and has handicap seats available. I also like that you can prebuy tickets online or go in earlier in the day and pick up a ticket for a later show before they sell out.

3.5 stars. Friday movie. First showing was $ 6.50. Parking garage was free with the movie stub. There was very few people there that early. Nothing to rave or complain about. Bathrooms were clean enough and well stocked. Friendly staff. Movie seats were a little cramped and I’m not very tall. The seats looks like it can be wiped down, more hygenic than cloth seats. They serve Starbucks Coffee. I thought there was an actual Starbucks inside. Nope. Small blk coffee for $ 3 and I had to serve myself. At least it was hot…
Walked over to check out the new «Basement» afterwards.

2 things I love about this theatre are it’s walking distance from my house and it’s not a HUGE googoo-​plex!
Warning it opens ½ hour (not a second sooner) prior to the 1^st movie time of the day.
Starbucks coffee, scooped ice cream, and Ottermeyer (sp?) cookies are for sale plus the usual movie theater fare– swimming pool size sodas & boat loads of popcorn — costing a small fortune. There’s a large seating area in front of the concession stand selling Starbucks — great place to meet up with a movie date or kill time. Another great way to kill time before the movie is to stroll the Riverwalk — during the summer months local artist set up along the walk selling their work.
Some of the theaters are small so choose your seat wisely for the best sight lines. Sure the seats could use upgrading but they’re much better than what’s at the Park Lane theater.
The temperature ranges from cold enough to hang meat to hot enough to roast a chicken (depending on the time of day) but the staff is always willing to adjust the thermostat to get the perfect temp for movie viewing.
Tuesday’s are $ 5 movies all day. Early bird price $ 6.50 on all movies before noon (maybe 1PM). Seniors get a free small soda with any purchase at the concession stand.

It’s a movie theater with all the usually things a movie theater has. Multiple screens, overpriced snacks, and movies. Theater is pretty well kept up. It’s the closest to my home. You can park in the parking lot on First Street and show your movie ticket for free parking (3 hours). A number of cool restaurant nearby… Campos, Sushi, Our Bar, Coffee/​Bar/​Restaurant right across from The Bar, whose name I will remember as soon as I finish writing this review. Theater is right on the River, so you can enjoy the river and park before or after the movie.

We walked nearly a mile in the falling snow for the latest Star Wars. This Century branch is located near the Truckee River which is a good walk away from the casino hubbub. We enjoyed a bargain matinée of the hit movie. I got a snack pack for myself, nachos for the little one, and a large water for the hubby. It is smaller than our local Century branches but was much cleaner and less crowded. It was a nice change of pace from hanging out at our hotel.

Well, whenever I visit Truckee with family, we come here to watch our favorite Thanksgiving holiday released movies. We’ve had mixed experiences as far as theater size is concerned. One time, we were lucky to watch a movie in a very big screen, but this year it turned out to be Meh.
Pros
— Decent seats & Double cup holders in the seats.
— Indoor Self– Parking garage very near to the theater, between N Sierra st and West st. All 7 days, 24hour parking facility.
— Two refreshments, a concession stand and cinema café.
— Cleanliness standard — Average (common areas & restrooms).
Cons
Too many small screens in the multiplex. You should be lucky to watch it at their mega ones!
This is not a sort after theater, but a good time pass!

Tried to see the new Peanuts movie tonight with my daughter. Because we were late the young rude girl working said we could not see it and wanted us to come back at 10 pm (2 hours later). I have a toddler, so no thanks. Instead we went to the the Galaxy IMAX theatre in the legends and saved money and experienced the ultimate movie theatre while we waited out our power outage due to our recent storm. I will NEVER return here and will drive the distance to the Galaxy IMAX. Once you go IMAX you’ll never go back to Century.

As far as multi screen movie theaters go this one is pretty decent. They get an extra star for free parking and a $ 6.40 bargain matinée

Tried and true, this theater might have uncomfortable seats that have seen better days, but it is close by the scenic Truckee River, close to cool eateries and downtown, and is always showing the latest releases. I always love to sit in the back for a movie, and thankfully, my theater wasn’t too crowded so I got the seat I wanted. All seats show some wear and mine had some kind of tip forward so I was constantly scooting back the entire movie. Helpful staff, decent movie collection, but — bring your cash, because the concession stand prices are ridiculous.

**2.5 stars**
Pros: 1^st showing only $ 6.40! 4 hours free parking with your movie stub. Staff was really friendly. Double cup holders were cool.
Cons: popcorn was stale, seats are uncomfortable, bathrooms could use a remodel.

The only reason this place receives 3 stars is because of the great location and the deal they have with the parking garage in the area for free parking for a few hours with a movie ticket.
I’m definitely spoiled when it comes to movie watching now due to the Galaxy IMAX theater in Sparks. The ticket prices are close enough that it’s usually worth it for me to drive to the Galaxy theater for a 5 star experience.
The seats are mostly broken in the «back» leaning position and there is not much room between the rows. The screens are a lot smaller and the whole experience just seems cheap when compared to the Galaxy theater.

The cinema is spacious and now has a lot of different refreshment companies in the lobby. The food and drink is prohibitably priced. No wonder people sneak in their own munchies and drinks! The theater has comfortable seats and arm-​rest cup-​hiders. We were there early and staked out a great spot and about 5 minutes till the film, a jerk with a tall wife/​date sat right in-​front of me. It totally blocked my view. We complained to the man, but the guy ignored us and gal wouldn’t budge. The theater was hardly near full! We had to get up and change seats. We finally moved to a better seat but he didn’t care.
‘Next to the river off Virginia Street. ‘Free parking at the lot near the Silver Peak Brewery. ‘Just show them your ticket stub. Save $ 6…
Ticket prices are about $ 10 each with a senior discount… I’m not a senior but they don’t make you prove it. Gotta save money where you can! Food concessions are very expensive. $ 5 for a candy bar! $ 7 for a large popcorn. $ 3-​$ 4 for a large soda to share.

It was going to be at two star but the location persuaded me to a three star. The area of the movie theater is a very convenient place for the downtown area.
The movie prices are reasonable and are the same if you go to any other century theater. However, the inside of the theater need some updating. There’s seating for the movies is uncomfortable. They were so uncomfortable that after the movie when I set up I needed to take at least a few minutes to stretch out because there is a sharp pain in my back. The seats are torn and ripped. Even though they are small they’re also noticeable.
I really like how they play up to date movies that are just coming out in theaters everywhere.
As for going back, I might if I’m in the area and wanting to watch a movie.

Century Theaters Riverside 12 delivers a movie experience far greater than the average home theater setup.
Located along the Trucker River you can enjoy a flick anytime of the day.
4 Times now I’ve visited the theater to enjoy scenes of my favorite movie franchise. They offer a full concessions stand with a variety of treats like: soda, buttery popcorn, and Sour Patch Kids.
I recommend coming here with a significant other or catching a flick with the entire family.
Pro Tip: You can park in the parking garage across the street a few hours for free if you get your ticket validated.

I really like the Riverside theater because:
– it is the one closest to where I live
– it has a parking garage right next to it, and then you don’t need to pay for parking if you keep the ticket stub of the movie you watched AND the parking ticket
– they have $ 5 Tuesdays every week! (excluding 3D, I believe)
– it’s near places like Pizano’s Pizza, Subway, Campo, and Reef Sushi.
And if you’re really nitpicky like me, I’m kind of sad that the seats in the auditoriums don’t lean back as far compared to the Park Lane theater. Other than that, Riverside is my go-​to movie theater!

Right downtown with plenty to do before and after the movie. The parking is plentiful in a garage on 1^st street that validates parking — or you can ride your bike! The shows usually don’t fill up at this theater, so finding a seat up to the last minute is usually not difficult. The theaters are clean and some of the shows are offered in 3D. There is also the Century classic movie nights, where they show movies decades old on their large screens.

So have you ever been to a Movie Theater? This is almost EXACTLY like that. I mean, they have seats! They have a screen! The have overpriced popcorn and sodas! They have a young man taking tickets. They have matinée pricing. They have lots of cool posters telling you of what they will be playing in the future.
Movie theaters were homogenized a number of years ago in Reno and they all are pretty much the same. There are minute differences between them… but nothing really to take note of.
This last time we were there for the Age of Ultron! Sound was great! Screen was Great! Seats were GREAT! Previews were… FOR FREAKING EVER.
Even though movies have improved and technology has made the movies themselves amazing… the trip to the movies is still pretty much the same.

I usually don’t notice the service provided at movie theaters, because 9 times out of 10 it’s a young HS kid selling you your ticket and burning your popcorn, so what really can you expect? What I DO notice, however, is cleanliness and upkeep. I always check my seat at this theater (really any theater, if I’m being honest) before sitting and it’s usually torn, broken, or is riddled with curious stains. This can be expected at any theater, though. Yes, it has a lot to do with what the company is willing to do as far as upkeep, but a good percentage of damage can be due to the jerks who frequent public places. People are a-​holes and just don’t treat property that isn’t theirs, properly. Regardless, I shouldn’t have to sit in a crater so large, I’m practically on the sticky floor. There has to be a more durable chair that the public won’t destroy too easily. Figure it out, Cinemark.
The crowning glory of this theater isn’t the seats, it’s the bathroom. Not even joking, every single time I attempt to use the handicap stall (don’t even judge, you know you do too, so that you don’t have to sexually molest the toilet just to get the door closed) someone has just left the result of Montezuma’s revenge plus a regretful trip to Taco Bell and then «forgot» to flush. I recall, back when I worked at Target, one of my menial, newbie jobs was to periodically visit the restroom to flush the toilets. No joke. Job title: Toilet Flusher. Someone needs to suggest this at the theater, since apparently the cool thing to do is have diarrhea and not flush the toilet. After obviously bypassing that stall, it’s a dangerous game of which nasty treasure would be the lesser of two evils to possibly sit or step on. I see employees standing around all the time at this theater, maybe instead of standing around, you can mop up the bathroom? Just a crazy idea…

We enjoy watching movies here. Things I love about it: They serve ice cream, it is right on the river walk so it is close to restaurants, staff is usually pretty friendly, and it is a lot closer to the northwest than the other locations.
Things I do not like: The parking– if you are dropping off kids it can be stressful because there is never anything open to pull over and let them get out. There is a parking garage but every time we go there it is packed and it takes a long time to find a space. (Positive is that with a movie stub they do validate.

My favorite theater in Reno. Love the location as it is downtown with all the action yet has easy, free parking at the garage a half block away.
Because it’s location, there are plenty of places to eat and/​or drink before or after a show. Just make sure you save your ticket for the parking garage. What amazes me is that I have yet to see this place crowded. Because of the parking, location, proximity to food and drink and plentiful seats, I’m going to keep coming here! And I promise not to sneak in candy every time!
