Where is the best location for a cinema seat? The three must-choose "Golden Seat" area for the icon

 9:20am, 7 September 2025

Recently, there have been constant crowds in cinemas, and many people booked their tickets online in advance to get a good seat and make the quality of the movies better. But do you know where the best seats are in the cinema? Central Video shares a series of pictures to teach you how to choose "Golden Seat".

The worst of these three positions:

1. Sitting in the front corner, the position is too far off and the corners of the screen are too small, which is uncomfortable.

2. The front row has been tilted for more than 90 minutes, making the neck unable to bear it.

3. The seat is too far from the screen and the sound is too close to the back, which has poor visual experience.

Viewing standards of the American TV Film Engineer Association:

1. The picture should fill the audience's vision as much as possible, and the viewer's horizontal angle (i.e., the angle formed by the viewer's left and right sides of the screen) cannot be less than 36 degrees.

2. In order not to make the neck tired, the elevation angle cannot be greater than 35 degrees.

3. The sound transmission takes a certain amount of time. If the movie hall is larger, the sound and video are not synchronized can be clearly felt, so the impact of the axis position in the video is minimal.

Golden seats are here:

1. IMAX or large hall (screen width is more than 15 meters, more than 200 seats (21-25 rows)

Best position: 9, 10 rows are in the front and back center position

2. Middle hall (screen width is about 15 meters, 100-200 seats (15-20 rows)

Best position: 7, 8 rows are in the front and back center position

3. Small hall (screen width is less than 10 meters, less than 100 seats (8-14 rows)

Best position: 5, 6 rows are in the front and back center position

Precautions for watching 3D movies

It is best to sit forward, because after wearing 3D lenses, the scene you see is smaller than actually, so it is not wise to choose the back position. The best position for 3D movies is generally enough to choose the middle.
