AMC Phipps Plaza 14

Used to like coming here until I ran into a cashier with a large attitude and a lazy mentality. Spoke to me like I was stupid along with rolling her eyes when I requested her to get a managers assistance when my stubs card wouldn’t work. Great customer service Anna! (With as much sarcasm as possible.)

Visited on a Friday evening for a late showing… the prices were more than I expected but the reclining seats were amazing.

Love this Theater! Smaller arenas, great sound system and reclining leather seats! What else could you ask for! Love seat reservation and the new bar arena too. My ticket was $ 14.50, but worth it.

Always enjoy coming to this theater. It is located in the top of Phipps Plaza. It has the most comfortable seats of any theater in town. Not all reclining seat are created equal. The ones at this theater are larger and recline further. They are way more comfortable than the ones at other AMCs in town..

This is probably one of my favorite movie theaters. It’s located inside of Phipps so I guess they had a reputation to uphold when they remodeled this place a few years ago. It’s luxurious in terms of a movies theater. The theaters are not really big which I like. The seats are super comfortable and lay all the way back (almost like a bed). I love the fact that you pre-​pick your seats so you know where u are going and don’t have to worry about searching for one that may be a bad one. The food is decent. I’ve had pizza, pretzels, fries, chicken tenders and a few other items the times I’ve been there. They also have cheesecake and a few other nice deserts on the menu. They have plenty of free parking because it’s in the mall. I give this place 5 stars.

Arguably the best theatre in town. The experience starts in the concessions area, where you can browse around to get your popcorn and candy, instead on waiting in a long line to ask someone to get it for you. When you are ready to get your food, the checkout process is more like a grocery store, where all you do is pay. This is the fastest possible way to get your snacks and should be implemented in every theatre across the country. While they do not offer any premium theaters (IMAX, AMC Prime) their regular theaters are fitted with comfortable reclining chairs which you can reserve before your showtime for added convenience. This is my personal favorite movie theatre.

Love the new seating… although it’s almost too comfortable u may start dozing off
The only reason this loses stars is because the bathrooms are never kept up properly and the soda machines are always messy. There appears to be no cleaning monitoring in these areas.regularly.

This movie theater makes me not hate going to the movies, which I totally did before. I know what you’re thinking… Who the heck hates going to the movies!!! Well, news flash, buddy. This gal right here gets antsy when confined to a seat for an extended period of time. Extended period of time is usually anything more than an hour. It’s not like I have a problem sitting still, especially when I am immersed in something I really enjoy. But when I am extra conscious that I would bother my neighbors were I to get up, the anxiety comes on thick. This happens when I’m on a flight too. Even a short flight to Miami will have me almost praying to land, just so I can get up. Luckily for me, I usually fall asleep before we even take off.
Okay, back to AMC Phipps Plaza. I love that I can pick my seats when purchasing tickets online and once I arrive, I get a cushy armchair that I can recline all the way, should I want to, and space galore. That means that when I had to get up to pee during «Star Wars: The Force Awakens» because my pregnant bladder needs to be purged every 15 minutes, I could do so only minimally disturbing those around me. What a relief, in more ways than one.
If you get claustrophobic at more traditional-​style movie theaters and this one is not too far, I think you should give it a whirl. Parking can be pretty easy, as the theater is inside Phipps Plaza, so you get to benefit from their pretty ample offering (I always park in the deck and have no issues). I still haven’t worked out where is the best place to park to get straight up to the theater on the 3^rd floor, but since I don’t have to worry about precipitation going from the deck to the mall to the theater, I just think of the extra walking as more steps counted by my Fitbit (which gets pretty dismal numbers these days, as I get winded from walking from my car to the grocery store some days), which is not a bad deal at all. At least that way I can shake off any Restless Legs Syndrome that may have plagued me once I get comfy in my seat for a flick.

Great theater… Great atmosphere… Great food… Comfortable seats… Just awesome!!!

So, so comfortable. The leather reclining seats enfold you like a grandmother’s love. The seats you can reserve ahead of time. Oh yes!
They make it so quick and easy with phone ordering and phone tix, or with a free standing kiosk outside the lobby you can print from if you do not want to do phone tix.
Inside, the sound is good, and I think every theater is small. Every one I have tried has been. Because of this, or perhaps because of the neighborhood, your chances of encountering wailing infants or cell phone miscreants is lowered. When it’s a movie you especially care about, pay a bit more and go luxuriate at Phipps. You will be glad you did.
The parking is pretty good, too, a massive deck underneath for rainy times, or a closer surface option if that is important.

I have come here a few times now and each visit has been very easy to walk in, pick out a snack items, and head into the movie.
I love, love, love that you can choose your seats, and that when you walk into the theater you walk down to your seats. CineBistro is high stadium style seating and this is more level.
Plus the seats are wider, recline, and more comfortable. Some are not attached to the one next to you, which is nice.

The food was terrible. I order pepperoni pizza … It felt like I was eating… a frozen burn pizza. A product That was sitting in refrigerator for 2 years… Oh my goodness I paid how much for that crap!!! Then, trying to eat the pizza in my lap was a challenge … I had my purse and one bag… No tray or pull out device to place my pizza box on. I had an alcoholic drink that had way to much alcohol in it and couldn’t taste the drink. If you like tasting alcohol then u would love it… This place needs a lot of organization in ordering and paying … It’s way too confusing. Last… When you check out. And receive you soda cup… please don’t place your fingers inside the plastic cups and hand me my soda cups! Totally not appropriate!

Went here for the first time to watch Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 and wasn’t disappointed.
Their reclining leather seats were very comfortable and super spacious.
Food availability, typical movie theater options. I was surprised they didn’t have the extended menus other movie theaters already have now.

This is a pretty nice AMC, I was in Atlanta visiting a friend and we went here to see the Steve Jobs movie this weekend.
They have the red recliners, which she thought I would think was cool but we actually have them at the AMC John R near me too :). This one is a lot nicer than John R, though. It’s in the Phipps Plaza mall, and you can park (free) in its underground parking structure and then take the escalators up to the theater, which I believe was on the 3^rd or 4^th floor.
Prices were a bit expensive — we saw a Sunday matinée for $ 12.95 each — but I’m not sure how they compare with others in the area.

When the ol’ gangsta Tyrannosaurs Rex and pack of Velociraptors (and later the gigantic aquatic whale-​like Monsasaurus) defeated the evil mutant Indominus Rex at the end of the action-​filled Jurassic World, I couldn’t help contain my joy. (I literally yelled, ‘Oh dang! Mess that dino up!’) Of all the scenes from the movie, that might be my favorite.
And I enjoyed this scene, while sitting in a plush reclining seat with arm rests that come with temperature controlled cup holders. So, when compared to other cinemas I’ve been to in my lifetime, it definitely ranks near the top. Anyways, other tidbits that you should know:
*****
LOCATION: Phipps is located on the top floor (3^rd or 4^th, I tinnk) in Phipps Plaza. It’s across from Lego Land.
PRICES: I think the $ 15ish price for one adult ticket — not sure how they differ on weekdays and weekends — might do some heavy damage on your wallet, but I don’t think it’s terrible. Considering the nice amenities, it’s perfectly reasonable for a date night.
FOOD & DRINK: Like most movie theaters, they overcharge for any food and drink and this AMC location serves as no exception. Especially their drinks. Even though they have a bar and their drinks can be brought into the theater, the tradeoff is that you will pay prices such as $ 12 for a gin and tonic and $ 6 for a beer. That’s pretty ridiculous, for Atlanta.
WATCHING MOVIE: As I mentioned before, they have really comfortable seats, a temperature controlled cup-​holder, and other amenities that make watching flicks super enjoyable. They use carpet — if I can remember correctly — so you don’t have to worry about any nasty sticky flooring from dropped drinks or food. Sticky shoes feel gross, obviously.
Also, I became mesmerized by the HD + 3D picture and the surround sound helped quell the chatter of the couple behind me having a conversation. Rude.
STAFF: They’re nice folks. No problems here.
OVERALL: I rarely go out to movie theaters, but if I do I’ll definitely think of returning to this AMC!

Affordable, upscale and comfortable! Seats are recliners, makes your movie experience much more enjoyable. They have the BEST chicago mix (caramel and cheese popcorn). A fantastic hot food station that keeps everything fresh, your food us made once ordered. For drinks, the infinite flavors of soda are in these wonderfully tailored touch screen machines. Movie tickets are very affordable, foods & candy are a bit pricey, but thats to be expected at a movie theater. You also might see a celebrity, if you are observant. There is also a bar which is near the entrance. Nice atsmophere, easy to find, majority of the employees are very nice and helpful. This tops my favorite movie theater. Excellent establishment AMC!

«Hey? You awake? Maybe we could go to the movie theatre with the big chairs that rock back and forth? It’s more expensive, but it’s worth it. They serve salads. «– Big Love: Season 1, Episode 7
One of my biggest pet peeves on Unilocal is that when a place remodels, their old listing goes away and they create a brand new one. I get it — they should get a fresh start based on a fancy new look and feel. Problem is, my previous review was of the remodeled theatre. So let’s review…
You can go home again. 23 years after helping relaunch this movie theatre the last time, I have returned to find one of the best movie experiences in a long time (and that says a lot since I love their biggest competitor, CineBistro. Yes, I worked at this place in 1992 when it went from 3 houses (screens to the common folk) to 12 (yes, I said 12). At some point, 12 just was not enough and they expanded to 14 — sure, why not.
I spent hour in the box office on the 2^nd floor, which confused SO many patrons. They have wised up and moved it right next to the theatres; so no more ice cream right after the movies. Sorry kids! Also gone is the big bulky concierge desk I spent many hours behind (where I also met many celebrities — I’ll spare you the name-​dropping). The new concessions «market» features many new foods from chicken fingers to mozzarella sticks to fancy desserts. But not to worry, they still offer the tradition fare of popcorn, candy, nachos and sodas (Coke Freestyle machines). But hey — you can get cocktails now at MacGuffins bar. Now that’s an upgrade I can be happy about.
The best upgrades of all — the seats. Big. Plush. Power-​Reclining. Reserved. Heaven on Earth, folks. Just be careful, do get so comfy that you fall asleep (people do show up with blankets).
I prefer this to Cinebistro any day — seats are more comfortable and you don’t have to listen to the silverware on the plates throughout the movie. Problem is, Cinebistro is still getting the bulk of the good movies. Mostly, Phipps is getting all the Disney (includes Marvel) and all the kids movies. They get the majority of the artsy flicks as well. Cinebistro is 21 and up, so never fear, all the G and PG movies will most likely end up at Phipps. Bond movies — probably going to that other guy.
This is my theatre and you cannot have it. I’ll fight you for it.

So… the recliner seats are everything!!! Everything and a bag a popcorn.
This theater is expensive. Bottom line. From concessions to the ticket prices. $ 14 for a ticket. I mean really? We pre-​purchased tickets so of course there was a fee. I don’t get the fee. Fee for what? But the reclining seats? Priceless. And it’s reserved seating. No figuring out your place in a theater full of folks. And the main course??? NO ONE KICKING THE BACK OF YOUR CHAIR! Yes, I know you are hooked now and Want. To. Go.
I had a long day, this was perfect. I did not want to go home to my okay couch and Ikea chairs. Nope. But I had to leave. But I shall be back. For a really good movie that I won’t cringe at paying $ 14 bucks for.

This theater has spoiled me for other theaters. The recliner seats are incredible, and there’s a ton of cool concessions. Each time I’ve come here I’ve gotten their popcorn (size large=free refills) and their froyo with the pineapple mixed in (which tastes pretty darn close to the Dole Whip at Disneyland). There’s a cool looking bar here that references Hitchcock (a win to me!) and though I haven’t imbibed there it looks like a well-​favored spot. Also, the selection of movies here is super current and since it’s at a mall, the parking is free and fabulous.
Would come here all the time if I could.

As far as movie-​theater experiences go, these guys do it right. Nevermind that everything is so freaking expensive that you may have to take out some financing just to get a soda. The reclining chairs are an exercise in decadence that is probably way overdue. The numbered seating means I don’t have to wait through all those ads and previews. Plus, they’re so comfortable, that I almost fell asleep during my last visit. This is a compliment, really. It’s hard to fall asleep these days!
That being said, the new setup for serving up those freaking expensive concessions is a good one. And there’s a bar, which means you can drink and relax in a reclining chair. What else do you need?

I really do love this theater. I wish I came here more often.
The reclining seats are some of the most comfortable, and spacious, of any theater out there. The flip side is that they can’t fit as many seats in each theater (though that can also keep down the noise from other patrons too).
Just be sure to reserve your seat ahead of time, especially for new movies.

Come here and watch a movie like you’re a rock star. Each theater is slightly smaller than most, but that’s really to accommodate these amazing leather reclining seats they have. They’re also not stupid like the Regal Atlantic Station VIP ones where you manually «push» it back into place. Instead, it’s a button that you push to either recline or sit up. I also really like the couple chairs where the middle arm lifts and you can cuddle with your boothang. It’s like you’re in the comfort of your own home… But better.
Not going to complain about pricing, but everyone knows that ticket and concession prices have skyrocketed in recent years. $ 14 for 2D and $ 18 for 3D at this theater!
Normally, I would not like the non-​stadium seating, but since it’s such a small theatre, it did not make me queasy at all.
Their concessions bar is pretty nice. They have self-​serve beverages from the freestyle Coke machines, as well as Arctic Blasts (Icees/​slushies). They’ve broken up food and the cashier into two separate sections so the lines move a lot quicker. They also have a pretty expansive concessions stand aside from your typical popcorn (a small starts at $ 6 now) and candy. I think you can get a pretty standard meal. Another bonus, the bar!
Here’s to a new generation of movie watching!

Can we say luxury? This theater has spoiled me so much, I almost insist on only going to the movies here. I am one of those peeps that had stopped seeing movies in the theater for years really because I didn’t want to spend 30 bucks between a ticket, popcorn and a drink for a mediocre theater. Well, let’s just say that the Phipps experience has changed me.
I fell in love with another luxury theater in my hometown so I decided to seek out a theater with leather reclining seats and reserved seating. This is how I discovered AMC Phipps and I’ve never looked back. So, with my fuzzy blanket in hand, I arrive ready for an experience! (Whatever you’re imagining, I have the blanket folded up in a little bag so I don’t look too trifling!) I booked my seats in advance so my seat selection was ideal. If you’ve never been here, I would recommend signing up for the AMC Stubs rewards card (you can sign up online) and then reserving your seats through either AMC or Fandango… two things: 1) If you wait to buy your ticket in person, you will likely get stuck in the front row, and 2) The AMC Stubs card will get you out of paying the convenience fee when you book online.
So, yes, I am all happy go lucky and head over to swipe up my popcorn and coke. They sell plenty of other snacks and even real food in the food court. There is a even a full bar if you like. Again, I find myself whipping out my AMC Stubs card. With this, I can pay the price of a small popcorn and coke but actually grab the next size up. All upgrades are FREE with your Stubs card – woohoo! You will find that even though it cost a few bucks to get the rewards card, it quickly pays for itself and you are racking up points left and right.
Me and my blankie and my popcorn skip happy go lucky down to the theater. The moment I sit down, it’s like my whole body relaxes and I may even moan out loud little – whoops. Yes, that lovely reclining leather seat is perfect. On my first visit, I actually came in with horrible back ache and the chair was so amazing, it cured me! I left feeling wonderful! You can imagine how excited I got when I found out we were actually having a Unilocal Elite event here. Thank you AMC Phipps for having us!
This is really a 4.5 star venue. The only way this could be any better is if I had full food service in the theater with delish food. I do love the dine-​in theaters, if I had to choose between luxury seating vs dine-​in service, I would still pick this AMC for the seating.

This is my favorite movie theater in Atlanta for non-​IMAX movies. The reclining leather seats are so plush, and you can do reserved seating. There’s a full bar to take an adult beverage into the theater.
Tickets are a bit pricey, and they charge an arm and a leg for popcorn and soda but that’s the plague of mainstream cinemas in the 21^st century. AMC is doing a pretty good job here.

I don’t want to go to another theater after this!
Love the reclining seats. Bought tickets on the morning of the movie so the last available paired seats were front row. However, with reclining seats, there were no risks of strained necks.
Excellent value. So worth it for matinée showing.
There was plenty of free parking on a late sunny Sunday afternoon. Enter the mall and take the elevator all the way to the top floor… Or ride the escalator up several floors depending on where you enter from the lot. We parked at p3 and rode about 3 floors up.
We went to see Hunger Games a few months after it’s been out. Apparently it was in a smaller theater. I liked the spacious layout. It was easy to find our reserved seats as the stairs were labeled with big letters and enough lighting.
Movie quality, sound are great. Theater was not bone– chilling cold. In fact, a light jacket was more than enough for me.
