Where Do You Sit in the Movie Theater?

CaptManiac@lemmy.world to Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world – 108 points –

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?

We've also got a theater with two IMAX screens

Which theater is that? I've been looking for one but there isn't one near my location, apparently there are only 30 of them? EDIT: Clarification, only 30 in the entire world that project 70mm. I was looking for one to watch Oppenheimer in.

There are only 30 theaters that project 70mm IMAX film. There's plenty of others that do digital IMAX.

Unfortunately, both of my IMAX screens are digital projection - I did look into it and saw that I had a 70mm IMAX screen around 4 hours away, but never could make it work with my work schedule. But my premium format IMAX screen was incredible all the same, no regrets!
