Ask Lemmy

Middle on one of the edges. Best distance to screen but also easy to get up for the bathroom.

I like to choose seats where theres nobody near me...usually try to go super late and if it is packed the front corners right by the screen...

Anything on the left next to the aisle.

Wherever there's an empty row.

You sit in the absolute middle (middle of the middle row) of course. Why would you sit anywhere else?

I haven't seen a movie in a theater since... forever. Probably 20 years.

I do watch a lot of plays though. Would throw money for that any time.

About 4-5 rows back, next to an aisle if it isn't too off-center. If the row is deserted I will sit in the middle.

My local cinema with small screens has two rows of reclining seats at the front, so I always try to grab one of those as close to the centre as possible. If the only seats are too far to the edge though I’ll sacrifice the comfort to be further back but more central.

We like to sit on the end of the middle row so my wife doesn't have to sit next to anyone else (her preference), and we can easily get up if needed without bothering anyone else. That said, it's why we prefer cinemas with fewer seating so our viewing angle isn't bad; unlike large theaters where end seats are too far to the side. Thankfully the IMAX in our city has the last 2 rows shorter than the rest, so seating at the end puts you close to the center; so we don't need to sit at the very side of a huge theater.

My agoraphobia says "not between people". So first or last seat in a row. Distance to the screen is irrelevant.

Middle back third

I invented a superhero called Molten Man who jizzes molten rock from his molten cock. I live in perpetual fear of Molten Man hiding above and/or behind me and getting hit by that spicy butter. Top, center, farthest back, in plain view of all exits.

The screen size doesn't change depending on how far or close you sit to it though.
