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…

    IMAX film is twice as wide as standard film. 70 mm instead of 35 mm. The IMAX film platters are physically ginormous. All that extra film gives you a bunch of extra resolution compared to regular film.

    The first catch is that “IMAX standard” may not be real IMAX. I don’t know exactly what that means. Perhaps it could even be digital projection that aims to be comparable to IMAX in some ways?

    Second catch is that a lot of films that are shown in IMAX theaters were not actually shot on IMAX originally. If a film was shot on 35mm, say, and then printed onto IMAX, you don’t get all of the resolution benefits, and you may also get letter boxes or pan-and-scan because the aspect ratio isn’t the same. IMAX cameras are massively more expensive and logistically difficult than regular film cameras.
