It seems everyone has a different sitting preference at the movies. I want the ultimate experience: the screen completely filling my vision, like I’m in the movie. Usually the third or fourth row. My wife complains we’re too close. Then I see people way in the back and it must be like watching TV the screen is so small. I don’t understand that at all. So, Lemmy, where do you sit with your popcorn and why?
Bonus question: best movie food / candy, and how do you sneak it in?
As an acoustic engineer who would tune movie theaters, 2/3 of the way back in the center of the room. If it is a Dolby certified theater there will be a chair with a small plaque that is where the measurements are taken and the room is tuned to that seat.
Far away where I don’t have to pay to have my experience ruined by screaming teenagers
The entire theater is designed around the center seat. Anything else is objectively wrong.
Ya’ll can afford movie tickets?
Farthest back row, dead center. The screen still feels huge, I don’t have to move my neck, and most importantly I have no one behind me.
