Where Do You Sit in the Movie Theater? (lemmy.world)

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?

I only go to IMAX and sit in the back. I feel it gives me the widest view of the screen. I'm personally limited a bit because my left eye is pretty crappy. I tend to sit more towards left side facing the screen. That way my dominant eye is more capable of taking in the whole field of view.

I buy popcorn. Large which comes with free refill. Then i get my refill when I'm leaving. Yay! Popcorn for home.

Oh hey I also have a bad left eye so I also prefer to sit on the left side if I can. I like to be more in the middle though, having the screen be most of my vision. I had to see Oppenheimer in the furthest row since that was all that was available at our screening and I felt like it took me out of the experience a bit being able to clearly see the borders.

I'm lucky enough to be seeing the 70mm version. I think it'll look great from the back.
