After all, what is the best place to sit in a movie theater?

Depending on your age, you may not remember or imagine what movie theaters used to be like, right? You know, the thing was not very good, no: the armchairs were quite uncomfortable, less soft than today, and not as ergonomic as they are now.

Besides, sitting in a place without a dozen heads disturbing your vision was quite difficult. The same visual variation could be applied acoustically as well, and unless you were The Big Bang Theory's Sheldon, choosing the best seat was even more complicated.

Fortunately, as time goes on, things tend to improve in virtually every area. In terms of movie theaters, we have huge screens, audio systems that can complete entire environments and, fortunately and finally, increasingly comfortable seats.

Changed for the better!

The seats in the newest movie theaters allow you to leave the seat in the position you like best and, if the movie is bad, take a nice nap in an extremely comfortable place. What you may not know is that not only is comfort better, but each bank's strategic position makes it very difficult that in the middle of 2014 you still have alien heads disrupting your vision of the movie. Best of all, this goes anywhere in the room.

No matter what your seat will be, you will be able to see the screen well and hear the audio well. But, of course, choosing a seat involves your personal preference, of course. The perfect place, though, does exist. It is located in a row two-thirds of the way from the screen to the back of the room - slightly behind what would be the center of the room. At this point, choose a seat right in the center of the line and you're done: this is the perfect place.

The reason is simple: this is the exact location that ensures the best stereo sound quality, as the speakers are always tested in the direction of the row of chairs that separates the room in half. Getting a little behind this line ensures even better audio. So, did you want to get a movie?
