I hear its like center, 2/3s the way near the back? That the best seats?

Idk... I've literally never been to a movie theater...

(Like can anyone circle the best seats in your opinion?)

Also the IMAX... its says imax standard but I don't think its technically a "real IMAX" theater. Ticket prices are the exact same as the supposedly "standard" theaters so yea I think its its either false advertising or the "non imax" got upcharged to the same price... weird but okay...

Go to a midday matinee during the week if you can. Like a 12pm showing. There's usually only a few people at those and you get the whole room to yourself.

Just saw Project Hail Mary at a 1230pm Friday showing. There was only 6 people in the whole room. At that point you go sit wherever you want.

    Going at a more popular time is a different experience and can be better in its own way. More different from watching alone at home. Individual audience members can be annoying but a good audience enhances your enjoyment as they react to the same moments with you.
