AMC Parkway Pointe 15

I really enjoyed this movie theater. They can get rid of the chili cheese fries that they use shredded cold cheese for on top of flavorless, straight out the discount can chili. The seats are amazing and the Coca-​Cola fountain drinks machine is my favorite this to use when out. There are so many flavors. The best movie seats in the state of GA.

This is the only theater I will go to from now on!!! They have really nice cushy recliners and a bar! What more could you need? On top of that the staff is extremely accommodating and polite! Do your date nights here!

Expensive. I paid $ 11 for a movie ticket to see a movie at noon. Other theaters I’ve been to sell tickets at noon for cheaper– around $ 6-​$ 8, but definitely not $ 11. Movie theater seats are recliner chairs. Minus one star for outrageous prices, and another star because the escalator to the theater is always broken every time I go here. Perk is free parking.

So glad AMC upgraded the theatre! From the free parking structure to the pre-​selected comfy reclining seating the whole experience is enjoyable. Also they still honor both military and college discounts during the week which is a plus. The customer service is never sub-​par and if they quote you a bad movie time they are sure to make up for it in vouchers.

Who doesn’t love a movie theater with soft reclining chairs? And on a leisurely day like today, being able to catch the cheaper matinée show + using a gift card + the comfy seats= WINNING! My only complaint is that these reclining seats and the darkness certainly won’t be conducive to my tendency to fall asleep during movies. But hey, let’s not pass the blame just yet… BUT let’s do discuss the outrageously high concession items that still cost more than my gift card purchased movie ticket, AFTER using the remaining 3 dollars. Hmm… welp, you win some you lose some… I guess…{shrug} {yawn} {feet going up} {reclining} {ahhhhhhh}
Update: had to come back and delete a star for the stale popcorn. C’mon, they JUST opened. I mean I literally was the 1^st customer through the doors. And if I’m going to pay 6 dollars for a small popcorn then it better taste like buttery goodness melting in my mouth.

This is the only movie theater I go to. Enough said.
Ok. Just some things to mention. :)
Buy your tickets in advance, so you can reserve good seats. The theaters have limited seating due to big, plushy recliners.
Reclining chairs make watching your movie sooo much more relaxing and enjoyable.
Self service fountain drinks and arctic blasts. :)
Self service butter and salt areas throughout front lobby for faster concession stand lines.
5 stars!!! (and exclamation points) :)

The stadium reclining seating is awesome. Here for the first A.M. show and the ticket price is $ 6.35. What a bargain!!! The renovations to this theatre has taken them to another level. They are located in the Parkway Pointe Plaza. Overall very nice theatre and I recommend if you’re in the area. There is some kind of huge gameroom/​bowling alley called Main Event down below if you would like to waste time before or after a show.

I Loved this theater! It is was nice and clean and the recliner chairs were comfy. Of course it’s a bit pricey, but it’s worth it. Its cheaper to go in the day time. The thing I liked most is we can pick our seats in advance. They also have a bar so you can order drinks as well. This theater is really close to my house so I will definitely continue to go to this location!

A recent experience prompts this unfortunate update. You know the stuff they show you before the previews? The last time I was there, those ads were too freaking loud. They were so loud, the kid next to me had to cover his ears with his hands. So loud, in fact, that small animals in Fulton County became very, very nervous. I thought I could endure it. But I could not. I sought help in the dark hallways of the establishment, and found a team of staff members who couldn’t believe that the ads were loud. Couldn’t care that the kid next to me was suffering, and tried to dismiss me with a statement of «it’ll only last about fifteen minutes, anyway.»
To which I responded (I’m not kidding): «Would it be all right if I didn’t go deaf in the next fifteen minutes?»
They did eventually lower the volume, but not by much. Add this to my aforementioned umbrage with freakishly expensive food & drink (and increasingly expensive movie tickets), and you end up with a two-​star review.

This is the first theater I’ve been too that has recliners. They are so comfy! There’s also a bar in the theater to grab a drink before the show.

As always it was a great experience. Great surround sound and very comfortable seats. Deadpool rocks!!!

I’m loving the new updates! Recline seats and more food options.
It’s a theater so of course everydangthing is over priced, but whatever.
This place is convenient and I will be back for sure.

I am a huge movie buff and going to the movies is one of those things I did with my parent as a child and continue that tradition with my own kids by going to the movies almost monthly, despite all the other ways to view movies (Netflix, Hulu, Redbox, etc).
Since I work in Atlanta regularly I decided to catch a movie one night so I drove over to this theatre.
This place BLEW MY MIND!!! The chairs and seating is world class. You will love it. I have never been at a public theatre with such awesome seating and the picture and sound were top notch too. If your anywhere close and are thinking of seeing a movie, make the trip here. You will love the experience.
Enjoy!

Movie theater was clean, comfy and the bathrooms were very tidy. Lines for concessions were a bit slow but glad we finally tried this spot.
They have the red reclining chairs!

This movie theater is the best movie theater I’ve been to in ATL so far. We went here in a large group of eight people and bought tickets online ahead of time. It was a very easy process and you are able to pick your seat online with a small convenience fee. When we got to the theater, all we had to do was write our confirmation number into the kiosk outside the theater to print our actual tickets. The theater is great for dates and large groups!
The seats in the theater are phenomenal! They are red leather reclining seats. Not only can your feet go up but you can lay back, relax and enjoy the film. We had an excellent experience here and look forward to going back soon!

Love these seats, love that you have to reserve your seats, best way to do it is on line that way you can pick the show time you want and not worry where you will sit and no need to show up well in advance. Parking can be a problem because it sits above the Main Event bowling/​game room/​restaurant and the escalators are broke most of the time with kids playing in the elevators all the time.

We came here 2÷23÷16 to see the witch movie for a date night. originally I was at regal cinemas in Atlantic station and left because I didn’t appreciate the bag search. If you have to search bags that’s means you have an unsafe establishment so I don’t need to be there, but I digress. The ticket line was long due to 2 dweebs holding up the line asking the cashier too many questions about the movies and deciding on assigned seats. Smh their was only 1 cashier which made the wait fustrasting. The do it yourself kiosk was jammed up, 1 worked the other didn’t but the line wasn’t as long and the people ahead of us moved quickly. We get our tickets and head inside; I asked the ticket taker, a 20 something african american female do they search bags there? Idk whether my question perplexed her, she didn’t hear me, or she was in a ticket tearing zone but she said theater 6 to the left. WHAT?! so I said hellooo, excuse me miss did you hear me? I asked you a question, do you search bags here? In a robotic tone she said no and kept tearing tickets lol I thought to myself I need her job lol lol we get to the concession counter and the movie starts in 10 minutes, no biggie because we have assigned seats, no tripping over people, and looking like a dork trying to locate seating in the dark! EAT YOUR HEART OUT REGAL CINEMAS ATLANTIC STATION! YOU ARE ON MY SHIT-​LIST IN SHARPIE!!! The dudes at the concession stand were friendly and fast. I like the special the run of 1 large drink, 1 large popcorn free refills on both. We get to the auditorium and we see ushers quickly cleaning and tidying up other auditoriums and or restrooms. Impressive AMC, you don’t see that at regal cinemas Atlantic station! So we are easily locating our seats, we sit, and we recline. It was a great movie going experience. 4 out of 5 stars because the price points are just ridiculous. If you lowered the concession prices that would encourage people to buy more. Plus side is they have a bar for booze hounds that have been stood up for a date or waiting for with their date for the next flick to start. Would I come back? HELL INFACTICALLY YES!!! they offer $ 1 off if you have your student discount btw.

Love everything about the theatre, the recliners were great, the snack bar always over priced but they did have Coke refillable freestyle plus bar area if you wish. The parking crazy but it was cheaper than Phipps so there you go. 5 star and I will drive past 10 others to get here any day of the week

Place is great, sound system is cool, 3D is nice too… best part, the seats!
The food. well what can one say about the movie theater food, how different can it be. But the location is just perfect, right off the highway and plenty of parking

Fancy movie theatre. The dine in experience and bigger, more comfy chairs are a major plus
The parking lot and area is usually busy on the weekend and parking can be hard to find at time, but aside from that the experience is usually great

New cushy seats… Seven across. The Movie Peaches would be spread waaaay out across the theater. There is a Main Event downstairs to wait for your movie time.

This is one of my favorite AMC theaters!
First off, I am a huge fan of their AMC Stubs program. I have saved so much over the years that it’s totally worth the $ 10 a year membership fee. Free upgrades, no online fees and $ 10 for every $ 100 spent– which for me adds up because going to the cinema is my biggest entertainment expense.
This theater in particular is conveniently located and has plenty of parking.
I haven’t yet tried the concessions yet but they look fantastic! They have the regular stuff plus a bunch of more upscale and unusual items that you find at regular theaters– the food smells really good! They also have a bar inside too, which I am excited to check out as well.
Now on to my favorite things– Reserved seating (it’s a blessing, ya’ll), super comfortable reclining leather chairs that I would basically pay just to sit in, and large screens where there isn’t a bad seat in the house.
My absolute favorite thing that makes this theater unique? The walls inbetween the rows! The aisles themselves are wide enough that you can have the recliner foot rest all the way out and people can still walk by your seat with ease. Those courtesy walls though… I mean wow. It enables you to basically feel like you are the only person in the theater because you can’t really see the people in front of you, especially when they have their seat reclined. I’ve never seen another place that has this feature and it’s just absolutely fantastic!

Went here a couple of times. The theaters have assigned seating. Really nice seats that can be adjusted. The place has a bar and a variety of fast food items. Great for date nights, … Very nice place. It can be quite busy.

Great renovations with full size leather recliners! I will definitely go out of my way to see a movie here. Concessions offer lots of choices for different food and their is a full liquor, beer, wine bar for libations.
If you get your tickets on line, you can choose assigned seating! Nice! No more hoping to get the seat you want:) Recommend.

This is an old theater. It’s been here a long time. I recently went to watch Star Wars, the Force Awakens, and I was pleasantly surprised.
It seems like they did some renovations to the theater. First, everything looks clean and new. Everything looked nice.
The screens feels a bit small, but that’s okay. They’re not imax. But the best part of the theater are their reclining seats. I don’t know if every room has them, but man they were so comfy. They are large, and you can lean back and enjoy your movie.
I also like the concept of reserved seating. It gives it a certain air of class, like you’re going to see a show. We’ll see how it pans out, but so far I like it.

This is a great Theater. The selection of movies is pretty good and overall the place is pretty clean.
I like the assigned seating; however, sometimes you go and people cant seem to figure out where their seat is and sit in your seat. This has happened to us twice.
There is a big police presence at the pavilion so you’ll feel safe leaving your car there. Parking can be a bit tight as in most places in the area.

This is my new favorite theater in Atlanta.
Coming from living in Plano, Texas and Southern California I’ve been underwhelmed by the choices of theaters in Atlanta, until now.
This theater has been renovated to include electronic reclining seats, a full bar, and a snazzy concessions with self-​serve fountains.
The only thing that is iffy with the upgrade to the theater is the new seating selection, and that really depends if you prefer to take a gamble of seating next to someone or else. If not selecting your seat in advance definitely saves on having to rush to the theater hoping good seats are left.
Also ticket prices are much lower prior to evening shows, in relation to most theaters. Even shows past noon are worth the $ 9.95.
Kudos all around.

Nice comfy recliner seats, however, they could do a better job of keeping the concession area and bathrooms clean, and for heaven’s sake, have more places for people to sit while waiting for a movie to start vs. the dingy waiting room area formerly known as the arcade… and what’s up with the people who work at this location? Everyone moves in slow motion and aren’t really friendly.
Despite my disdain for this location, i’m sure I’ll be back just because they are convenient and play a lot of movies with more times to choose from.

This is a solid theater! It’s located on Cobb Parkway above Main Event. The theater is updated with comfortable seats, good sound, and sharp picture quality. I enjoyed my experience and would definitely recommend the venue.
To start, there are ticket kiosks to go along with the box office and online ordering through Fandango. This made checking in easy and fast. Once you enter, there is a bar and concession area. The prices are high, but they seem comparable to most theaters. There is a good selection, too. I didn’t eat or drink anything, but those who did seemed happy.
The theaters themselves are clean with two-​person seating. The chairs are like small loveseats with armrests and cup holders. They recline slightly and have foot rests that you can adjust with a small keypad. One caution — it’s easy for stuff to slip out of your pockets when you recline, so be careful! I had to fish around under the seat after my car keys slipped, and it’s not an experience I would recommend.
Overall, this theater is a good option. I like the assigned seating and how easy it is to check in. It’s clean as far as theaters go, and there are plenty of bathrooms. The staff is nice and unobtrusive. I will definitely go back the next time I want to watch a movie.

Because most AMC theaters are pretty similar, I’ll skip the in-​depth review and just give you the highlights!
Commence Bullet-​point review:
THE GOOD:
+Well-​kept and well-​cleaned theaters
+The seats are crazy comfortable (even if the foot rests do not extend the full 90 degrees)
+Plenty of concession drink machines so there is not a line.
+Bathrooms aren’t too bad (big enough and clean enough)
THE BAD:
–Typical high AMC pricing
–Theatres are all reserved seating which makes sitting with a big group very difficult (unless you buy tickets way in advance online)
–Foot rests only extend about 45 degrees (which is still better than no extending, but still… it’s so dissatisfying when they stop halfway to where I expect them to go.)

I used to see AT LEAST one movie a week at AMC and then I realized just how much money I was spending on tickets and concessions and decided to take a longggg break. I could’ve probably put a decent down payment on a new car with the amount of money I spent at the movies in a year.
Then AMC introduced their STUBS cards. For $ 12 a year in membership fees, you get free popcorn and soda upgrades, plus every purchase gives you the opportunity to collect points towards a free ticket or free concessions. MARVELOUS! This incentive was one of the main reasons I decided to return to at least monthly movie nights with friends and AMC parkway pointe is my theater of choice.
Recently, AMC has gotten even better than it already was: superbly clean, very modern looking and all around aesthetically pleasing. You can tell there was a lot of time, effort and thought put into these upgrades. With the addition of assigned seating and FANTASTICLY comfortable, adjustable chairs, AMC has shot themselves straight to the front of the pack! The theater even boasts a brand new, well stocked bar and lounge called Macguffin’s where you can also use your STUBS card to purchase drinks.
AMC even upgraded the food! Gone are the days of movie snacks consisting only of popcorn, nachos, candy and soda with the occasional hotdog! Now you can get treats such as frozen yogurt, shrimp, pizza, chicken tenders, churro bites and the list goes on and on. Not to mention the drink machines where you can customize your beverage with all sorts of flavors («world of coke» style) ! I’m a simple popcorn and coke kind of gal but it’s great to have the option of so much more.
Another great perk, AMC now has member appreciation days every Tuesday. Use your STUBS card and get half price tickets! You can’t beat that deal with a stick!
The staff is friendly and pleasant although there are times when the hot food can take a while to come out making you fear you’ll miss your movie. There needs to be a better system in place to get out orders more quickly but otherwise, AMC Parkway Pointe has the game on lock, that’s why it’s the only place I go for movies!

It’s amazing what a little upgrade will do to my willingness to visit a theatre. I feel like I am here all the time now. AMC knows what they are doing — they have the formula right.
Cleanliness
Friendly staff
Upgraded theaters
Quality and variety of foods
I am biased, I worked for AMC for a few years in my youth. But I spend a lot of time at their competitors as well. A couple of years ago, AMC Parkway Pointe (PP) upgraded a few things (concessions, added a bar, Coke Freestyle machines), but left the houses (screens) untouched. I was both happy and bummed at the same time. They had the most uncomfortable seats (hard, narrow, short-​backed). Not anymore, my friends!
Welcome to 2015! They were closed for a while — maybe 6 months? — while they upgraded all 15 houses to the new and improved leather la-​z-​boys. No joke! Now, these are not the same as the ones at Phipps Plaza 14 — these are «new and improved,» but not by my standards. These actually do not recline as much. My guess is they wanted to provide something that reclined, but did not induce the need for sleep? Who knows.
Whatever the reason, they are still pretty awesome. Assigned seating, cushy chairs, nice little light up controls on the armrest (much better than an accidental hip check causing you to move mid-​movie) — I’m in love. They still provide the usual couples chairs — life up arm rest for cuddling with your loved one or kid during the movie if you want to — always a plus.
The concessions have a few registers with short space for lines and are not well run (my reason for only 4 stars) — this area needs much better management. The entire right side is for picking up of the fancier food items after buying and paying on the left side (in those crappy congested lines). They really need to work on building some efficiencies into this process.
The point of reserved seating, is you don’t have to show up 30 minutes before your movie to get a good seat anymore. You can now just walk right in. However, if you want a drink (cocktail or soda), you need to still show up and allow enough time to get these items and still be in your seat to see the previews.
Pro-​tip: Buy your tickets online and have your QR code on your phone. No need to visit the box office, ticket machine, nothing. Walk up to the ticket taker who will scan your phone, print and tear your tickets for you. You save SO much time.

So this is my third time here and I really like it! The recliners are great and make the movie theater a more relaxing place to be.
The downside to the theatre is the kids. There are so many kids here, probably because of The Main Event Downstairs. But it’s okay, want to avoid the teenagers? Come after 10 pm! After 10 pm anyone under the age of 18 has to be with a «parent». From what I can tell so far they do actually enforce this rule! Also, the bar area could stand to be a bit larger. The theatre is huge and the bar area cannot accommodate many people at the same time. I think the good does outweigh the bad. Hopefully they keep the theatre well maintained and it only gets better!

Looks like I’ve found my second favorite movie place (after Regal Atlantic Station VIP)!
Wow, so the renovations really changed this place. I came here over a year ago and was quite whelmed, not the case any more. Went on a relatively busy pre-​opening night Thursday for Mad Max: Fury Road, and there were no crowding issues. I used Fandango as always so there was no need to wait in line for a ticket, but said line was pretty non-​existent anyways. The wait for concessions wasn’t bad either (though the prices were flat out crazy: $ 8 for a large popcorn? I think the dine in cinemas don’t charge as much). They do have extra menu options compared to the average theater. Bonus for listing calorie values on each one (and turning me away from getting a Cookies and Cream milkshake). And if you want to chill before the movie starts, there is a bar area with stools. I just wish the overall lobby area more seating. I could not find a bench to just sit and wait on friends.
Inside the theater, you get stadium seating, as well as recliners! You can customize how far back your head and your legs will go with a button console. Pretty fancy. However, the seats don’t let you go fully back like Atlantic Station VIP does. I feel like AMC’s seats are marginally less comfortable, and they are definitely not as wide. However, the few dollars in price difference makes up for it. I think you’ll pay around $ 2 – 4 more at Regal, not to mention the movie selection is more limited. Should mention the seating is reserved, so you can book ahead of time and not worry about getting a good seat. Almost left that part out because I pretty much –only– go to assigned seating theaters nowadays.
The screen was super clear, sound was good without being too loud. Lots of AMC plugs for itself during the commercials though.
The décor is bright and fun without being an eyesore. Things seems streamlined in general. The bathrooms are super clean, and have the Dyson Airblade dryers.
At this point, this is a 4 star review, but I want to tell you why I gave it 5. When you enter the cinema, there is a Main Event location down below. There’s a bowling ally, laser tag, and arcade. So if you want something fun to do before or after a movie, or have kids, this is a great option that is literally right down the stairs. I’m already planning my birthday gathering there.
So there you go. Is this THE best way to see a movie? No, but is pretty damn close. But if you want to save a few bucks, save a drive downtown, and have the option of an arcade nearby, AMC Parkway Pointe is the way to go!

I think I’m slightly obsessed with the new AMC Parkway Pointe.
Case in point: I’ve seen four movies here in the past week (The Imitation Game, Whiplash, Selma and Whiplash again). I hadn’t been to this location in years and I had no idea that they renovated the place until I read about it on Unilocal.If only I’d known I would have been back sooner.
What’s not to love?
Assigned seating means you’ll never buy a ticket, get inside and realize there are no good seats left. Now that you have advanced notice of what’s available, if you don’t like the options then you can pass on buying a ticket. Or with your assignment in hand you can take your sweet time ordering at the concession stand or bar. Your seat will be waiting for you when you get there.
I didn’t make it over to the bar but I saw a sign advertising Christian Grey/​50 Shades themed cocktails. The concessions are fully stocked with the usual suspects: popcorn, fruity and chocolate candies, ballpark faves, fizzy drinks, icees, juices, energy drinks and waters. They even have specialty items like ice cream, apple chips and gourmet chocolate bars.
The plush red recliners are SO comfortable! You can use all four blue arrow buttons (two for the seatback and two for the leg rest) to adjust the settings to your liking. There is even enough room between the rows to allow people to pass through without having to readjust your seat.
Short walls separate the rows and they serve a few purposes. They make it impossible for the person behind you to kick the back of your seat. They block out cell phone light from the person in front of you who can’t resist checking during the movie. They also enhance privacy and obscure the head of the person sitting in front of you. As a result, every seat offers an unobstructed view of the big screen.
Of course, there are downsides to assigned seating. First, it significantly slows down the ticket line. Clearly some people have trouble making decisions or choosing a seat without seeing it beforehand. (I wish AMC had a quick-​pick option for these folks… let the ticket agent draw a seat and call it a day.) Assigned seating also means that the best seats go quickly and the entire feature can sell out fast.
To be fair, it’s not the theater’s fault they’re new and popular. It’s certainly become my favorite place to watch movies in Atlanta.
