Been a while since the wife and I have made it to a movie in theater. What’s our best option for the BR area? Preferably one of these newer styles with the individual recliner seats.

-update:
I appreciate everyone’s responses on this thread. Ended up following the consensus and went to O’neal to catch it in Dolby. It was definitely worth the extra drive. That sound and screen was amazing.

AMC O'Neal
Dolby
Best visual/audio/recliner combination in Baton Rouge.

The Movie Tavern at Juban Crossing.

It's one of those restaurant/theater combos, there's one at Citiplace in Baton Rouge but it has always been plagued with crappy service.

I know, it's on the other side of Denham but the service makes up for it. Also, there's a Walk Ons nearby in case you want to make sure you are fed and full BEFORE the movie ;)

I had to sit on the 3rd row in my Endgame viewing last week. The recliner saved my experience, sitting that close to the screen.

The AMC at the mall has the best screens hands down but the seating is meh.

I go to Perkins Rowe for my movies as you avoid strange crowds for the most part and they have recliners. Screens are not the best though.

I go to the mall because they don't have recliners. I hate those things.

I am curious why you guys are saying this?
The AMC near the mall has better screens.
Or did O'Neal recently upgrade?

Not sure what you mean by better screens. The AMC Dolby has the sharpest screen outside of IMAX and the audio experience (the bass shakes your chair) is the best in town. You can probably find recliners that go back further towards a flat position, but I don't need that.

Here's a pretty good summary. In addition to having superior sound and lighting contrast, the recliners are as good or better than any other theatre in Baton Rouge.

Quora - Dolby VS IMAX

Seems they both have lieMax. I was under the impression that the mall one had the better screens. Sorry about that.

Drove here from the Northshore to see it in Dolby Digital the friday after it opened. Was blown away at how nice of a screen (including sound/seating) this was. The theater itself looks like it was picked up by AMC and renovated, but they put a lot of effort into their Dolby screen and it shows.

AMC Dolby @ ONeal as others have said - hands down best in BR.

AMC Dolby isn't showing as an option for Avengers this weekend. Any ideas why?
