The Forge Cinemas

My fiancé and I decided to go here to see the new X Men movie, we were very impressed with this cinema! We went to the matinée for $ 4, which is a great price, regular price is $ 6. We have paid $ 8.50 for matinees at other locations, so that’s why I say great price. As most have stated, the seats are comfortable. Also, the bathrooms were clean, didn’t visit concessions so not sure on that, but otherwise… this was Great, great value!

Four dollars for a movie ticket?! Oh, HELL yes! Im sure that not very many people visit Pigeon Forge to go to a movie, but when I found out that this was only a 3^rd of the price of a Chicago ticket, I quickly looked up to see which times The Jungle Book was playing. The associates here were very friendly. The theatres were very well maintained and I also LOVED the seats. They rocked and were leather and super plush. The sound was strong and the colors of the screens were extremely vivid and super clear! Pigeon Forge is lucky to have the Forge Cinemas!

An awesome movie theater! I thought for sure since tickets were so cheap ($ 6 for evening tickets!) they would be more packed but there was plenty of space and seats left 30 minutes before showtime and it filled up quite quickly. The theater itself has a nice aesthetic and the seats are very comfortable. The staff was friendly. There was not one person I interacted with that wasn’t courteous and helpful. A great experience!

Star wars… awesome…so enjoyed the movie woohoo… special effects rule… time carried on… story revisited… new blood interjected…
Took one hour to arrive to the theater… traffic into the area is always thick… so plan ahead… only one way in and out…
…when finally arrived… we got a choice spot… arriving to no line …10 minutes to show time… choice seats… the seats were fat… rocking and compfy like a padded glove… sound system was spot on… and haha maybe 30 of us at best… clean floors… speedy eats… but hell… that’s theaters…

Dumbest bunch of idiots working there. One person selling tickets and concessions. Pathetic.

I get it. You had to drop prices to compete w/​governors crossing. Even so, consider slowness of ticket and concession sales as factors in dropping ticket sales. Staff has always been good to me, and the facilities are still quite good; much better than the old Sevierville theater, but it’s often slow getting from the initial ticket line to sitting down. Averaging 3 or 4 films max at a time is sending me to Knoxville oftentimes. Maybe show the kids/​family/​religious films in the daytime, and dedicate screens to adult fare in the evenings. Other events (Rocky Horror midnight shows, Cult films) may help as well. Maybe I’m totally wrong though.

A little on the small and cozy side, so get there before the crowd. We saw the new 007 movie on the day it opened and the theater was packed for off season. There are only a few screening rooms, so showing times are sporadic. The service was great and everyone was very polite.

It is fine for a small theater. I understand that a new 14 screen complex with recliner chairs is opening in Nov. That should be great!

Laughing at some of these reviews. There are five screens not 20 because it is a small town. Tourists need to adjust to our community not the other way around. Management and staff go out of their way to bring excellent service. Price is cheaper than any place in the country for tickets. Comfortable seats and great movies. Just because the movie you wanted to see was not at this theater is not a reason to give it less than 5 stars. We love the Forge Cinema and hope everyone else will appreciate their amazing service.

I like this theater with it’s comfy seating, and Lavaza coffee machines. The tickets may cost a couple dollars more, but the snacks are cheaper. I was surprised that my overall bill for a night at the movies in this high rent district ends up being less than at the theaters in less touristy areas. They have one 3D theater that they rotate films through. I think it has only 6 screens, so expect to miss out on not only independent films, but also those produced by smaller studios, or feature minorities. Yes, on Easter weekend you can see up to 3 Jesus or bible themed blockbusters, but on Martin Luther King Day, do not expect to see a relevant movie like «Selma» on the docket. That being said, I am still more likely to go here if they are showing something I want to see. The staff is friendly, and the theater is very clean.

We caught a movie at this theater while on vacation. The tickets were $ 7 (compared to $ 9 where I’m from). The seats were the best I’ve ever seen: leather and rocked back. Great theater!

Not impressed hot dog was cold and the whole place was dirty there was still popcorn all over the floor from the previous group and we didn’t even go in early the sign said now seating for that show time when they handed me the drink I paid $ 4.50 for (its a good size I will say that) it was covered in syrup ooze not from the soda but you could tell whatever ever ooze my cup was covered in had been on my cup for awhile I couldn’t eat my hotdogs because my hands were covered in it not impressed!

Not a big place, but man are the seats comfy! We saw Star Trek there and for the movie and snacks only paid $ 50 for four… not bad. The theater is newer, clean as heck and like I said the seats are top notch. Well worth an afternoon…

First time ever seeing a movie here. Went and saw the Expendable’s 2… The theater was better than the movie! Stadium seating with executive style chairs that reclined. VERY compfortable. Nachos were good. the medium drink was like a bucket of soda!

Although small by most standards, the extremely comfortable seating, generous screen size, and overall cleanliness of this theater make it a worthwhile way to kill a few hours. Onwards with the review.
Location: 2.5 out of 5
Good news: it’s on the Parkway, so it is very convenient for tourists who frequent the area. Bad news: it’s on the Parkway at Walden’s Landing. Be prepared for some difficulties finding parking, the potential for large crowds either shopping or playing mini golf, and similar problems associated with a large quantity of people in a finite space. Since I took the trolley, I experienced none of these issues and found it to be quite convenient to get to, and leave from, Walden’s landing.
Price: 4 out of 5
I think I caught a mid day show on a Sunday for 7 dollars. That is cheap in my book, considering that the movie theater by my living quarters in Chicago charges 7.50 for the first show of a day on a Friday (10AM showing, or something ludicrous like that). These prices reflect «regular» 2D movies, you can expect a bit of a surcharge for 3D or special events.
Selection of Movies: 3 out of 5
It’s not the theater’s fault. They only have 5 screens. They don’t have the physical space to show 10 different movies. I mean, I guess they could show more than 5 movies if they rotated out the reels in the projectors, but that would probably a bit of work. At any rate, keep this in mind before you go. They were showing what I wanted to see, so I had no problems.
Seating Comfort: 5 out 5
I actually took a picture of the very comfortable seats. Real leather? Ummm… questionable. But they were spacious enough so that most of the rotund clientele that visit from parts of the south can happily fit into one seat. And if they can’t? Well that’s not a problem either — just move the arm rest up on the seat (or seats) next to you, and you’ll be as happy as a clam. Like to recline a bit? Go right ahead. Sure, it’s not as posh as the premium or VIP seating that some theaters are moving to with in seat wait service, but for what you pay, it’s an extremely good deal.
Cleanliness: 5 out of 5
Not a popcorn kernel on the ground, not a sticky spot to be seen or felt. The bathroom was clean, the concessions area was clean, and granted — it was only 3 or 4 in the afternoon, but hey — nice job!
Customer Service: 3 out of 5
Not a real diss, but I didn’t interact with that many people. I got my ticket from the automatic kiosk, and I gave it to the guy who was taking tickets. He said in a nice enough manner, «Theater 3 is down the hall.» Not that there was a way to get lost given the small size, or anything like that.

I am so excited we got a movie theater in Pigeon Forge. This place is great. They have the most comfortable chairs that I have ever sat in in a theater. The 3-​D movie and digital surround sound was great.
