I do this at un-reserved theaters too. Just gotta be more flexible with your seating. Unless the theater’s absolutely packed and you get stuck at the very front, most of the seats are going to give you a good experience. It’s what the theater’s designed for.
Comment on Movies not starting when they are scheduled.

I remember having to be ass in seat before the lights even went down if you wanted a good spot on a premiere weekend. Sucked an hour suffering through preshow trivia, ads, and trailers.

Fair, I’m probably bit more picky I can’t stand being anywhere outside the center radius. Too close to walls bugs me because the audio volume and balance is off lol

If the balance is off, by which way? I.E if you’re seated too far to the left, will It be too loud in your left ear, or too quiet?

If seated near the left wall, the sounds that should be mixed to the left side of the scene overwhelm the whole precievable audio mix and sounds more mono than it should. Sort of losing the whole “immersive surround sound” aspect that I’m spending my dollars for.

I’m lucky that my city has a true IMAX theater and unlucky that it doesn’t have reserved seating, in this day and age. So I have to arrive an hour early just so I can stand in line and get a good seat.

I love reserved seating. And they seem to have given up on selling lots of tickets. The chairs in my theater are huge and widely spaced.
