Finding The Best Theater Seats

By April Briggs


Theaters are a place where performance art is showcased. This can range from plays to music and anything in between. These places were dubbed as entertainment houses in the eighteenth century since real and imaginative situations were recreated and aired to the audience in an almost realistic way. It is this drama and expression that brought in the crowd in their thousands. Today the modern world has taken this concept and used it to show what can be termed as electronic art, this has been accomplished be the invention of video camera in a nineteenth century. But even then, finding the appropriate theater seats has always been important.

These days movie theaters have changes as opposed to olden days. The engineers are hoping to standardize the experience for each viewer. That is why instead of the seats being placed like the stadium formation, in theaters you find that you are seating just slightly higher than the person in front of you. This means that you all have a similar view of the screen.

Sound quality is one factor you keenly have to consider for a better movie experience. This is because if you get good sound reception, the movie will be almost real. Sound experts argue that the best place to sit in a cinema for the best sound reception is the center seats or the seats at the back. This is because the positioning of the speakers is aimed to optimize reception in these areas of the space.

There are experts who say that seating on the right hand side in a cinema often makes your experience better felt. They claim that it allows processing of information by the right hemisphere of the brain which contains the part that deals with emotions. Going by this theory it means that the experience will be interpreted largely from an emotional point of view.

The kind of people who sit around you also play a role to the impact the film will have to you. Sometimes you may be surrounded by people who keep disturbing you in the course of the movie. Or people who keep giving you spoilers if the film is based on a book they have read. Next time you go to a theater you should try and avoid these places.

If you are with a lover or spouse at a movie you would want to pick a pair of seats at the back. It has been noted that most lovers share inside jokes about movie scenes. They therefore prefer sitting in the back where they will not cause a disturbance when this scenes come and it is also a place where they can enjoy their privacy.

When in an IMAX cinema, the experience is different since the film format is so much better than in other cinemas. You often are aiming to catch a seat from where you can see the entire screen.

The next time you plan to go out for a movie you should take heed of these tips in order to get the best experience.
