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.
So you pay extra to go to the largest screen possible, then sit as far away as you can to make it small enough for you to see? That seems... suboptimal.
Have you been to an IMAX? Every seat can see the whole screen. I prefer to be near the back so i don't have to turn my head to follow the action.
I don't understand this comment... Why do you think I'm implying that people can't see the whole screen from every seat? I don't see how it's related to what I said.
I was simply jokingly observing the irony of sitting at the back to reduce the size of the screen in your field of vision because you have difficulties observing a wide field -- a problem that is exacerbated by going to a larger screen in the first place.
Being in the back allows me to watch the action across the entire screen without having to zip my head side to side.
Yes, he understands that but then why go to the big theatre? Not that there’s anything wrong with that…
Bigger the better! This 70mm IMAX is a rare treat. Very few IMAX can show it.
Why wouldn't i want to sit in front of a huge screen in a good position where I can just sit back and take it all in without being dizzy by whipping my head side to side following the action.
