I Tested Every Movie Theater Seat

[@ricecrew2]

[@dichotomae]

the worst spot in the theatre is actually standing in the corner. I saw wonder woman and there was a guy in my seat (they were assigned) when I got there. Since I was a teenage girl and he was a large grown up man I was too scared to confront him so I literally just stood in the corner the whole time.

[@MeetMrMayhem88]

Oof 😬

[@NeonNijahn]

Did you feel empowered enough after watching the movie to say something?

[@citonita2207]

That sucks you should have talked to an employee about it at least

[@alexandraRatliff]

The running joke of asking Jaden for her thoughts was funny every time despite you claiming that it stopped being funny 😂

[@citonita2207]

The underrated thing about theaters is a good movie can absorb you despite truly terrible seats. I've been squished into the top corner against my will, but I don't remember the movie that way. I remember it like I was sitting in the damn center. That's movie magic

[@bob8mybobbob]

Before my theater got the lounge seats, middle railing was definitely the way to go. Leg room, the people in front of you aren’t right in front of you, perfection. With the loungers, anywhere vaguely middle as long as it isn’t too far forward is fine - every seat is comfortable, and they’re spread out enough people are less likely to bother you.

[@sean_mccadden]

Thats what I was thinking. Still valid had Regal/Edwards and other similar theaters that don't have lounge seats. Having your feat up without annoying someone is life changing 😩

[@Lynner2210]

"Thoughts?" Not sure why that made me laugh everytime he said it. Lol.

[@TheInkTank]

I saw Age of Ultron in the very front row, too, also cause it was the only seat left. It was my first IMAX movie so the screen was huge, but I was craning my neck upwards for over two hours. It did inspire me to start going to more IMAX movies though cause the quality was insane, but I always buy my tickets in advance now to avoid the front.

[@TechySpeaking]

As someone who has seen literally hundreds of movies in theaters in the past few years, I've only recently discovered that the "back row, middle" is a myth. The best is actually one or two rows forward from the walk-in level, just before it gets into image warping territory. Turn any screen into an IMAX screen.

[@esmeecampbell7396]

back row is best for getting up to nefarious activities while being undisturbed by other goers because it is the only row with nobody behind you obviously front row is generally too much neck strain from looking up, though there can still be "neck strain" from the "activities" in the back row 🖐

[@BichaeldeAngelo]

You are 100% correct, I sit there EVERY SINGLE TIME

[@kei.13]

Back row is best for people with sensory problems that can't deal with the mega noise and brightness of the screen.

[@hair.goblinnn]

HAX

[@caspizzaz2298]

@@kei.13 i always sit in the back row in a corner bc of sensory issues (and it minimizes the amount of strangers next to/in front of/behind you which helps with anxiety) and it never occured to me that people do nefarious activities back there

[@settheworldonfire94]

I always sit right behind the wheelchair accessible seating, directly in the middle. For many, this is too close, but I love it.

[@mightbeagiant]

I like these because they usually have bars i can put my feet on

[@trashcanbanker]

Omg yes I love sitting close like that it makes it more of an immersing experience

[@whitneyjameson1849]

I like to think that this is Scott's personal way to make leg day more fun

[@MaxTheBoii]

The problem with this theatre room in particular is the position where the actual best seat would be, about 45% of the way from the screen, DOESN'T HAVE ANY SEATS

[@mangajag]

My least favorite seat is rigth in the front, feels like I'm breaking my neck looking up.

[@imperfectly_megan]

Yes I have neck problems and I can't sit in the front.

[@-Teague-]

​​@@imperfectly_meganSAME I saw Across The Spider-verse front row because there weren't any other seats available and I literally couldn't look up at it properly. I know they would have to make the room bigger to accommodate this but there should really be more space between the screen on the first seats.

[@beccad225]

i saw bolt in the front row and i cant remember any of the movie but i sure remember that neck pain🤣

[@PeachxE]

“Some teenager in their cookie monster pajamas” is so real

[@teadrinker214]

7:37 vindication!!! thats my favorite spot in the theatre. because i like to slouch a little, i dont want tall people to sit in front of me, so by sitting a little closer and looking just tilting a little up at the screen you dont have to worry about that. and!! no one likes sitting in the front so they don't do it often, which means you're more likely to be alone and not bothered

[@NotHarpoGroucho]

My personal favorite is the back row on the edge. It’s an odd spot for sure, but you just get so much leg room and because it’s in front of the stairs you don’t have to awkwardly stand up to let people by

Don’t forget to remember to think about convenience of leaving quick, get snacks or bathroom breaks during the movie ect. So there’s a lot of factors. I’m middle of the far back row personally

For some reason I thought you were going to sit in every single seat and watch a whole movie for each one and give and in-depth review on every seat. I am sorely disappointed

[@loverrlee]

I choose the very back of the theater because I don’t like the feeling of people behind me. But to each their own! If we all liked the same spot, we would always be fighting over it! 😂

[@timthelittlemusicfox]

I didn't expect this video at all but it's probably my favourite one of yours. Loved Jadens energy!

[@tiffanyward8263]

My favorite seats are actually in the very front. So much leg space and you never have to scoot past people and no one else ever wants to sit there so I love it.

[@AbsurdAlan]

I always sit dead center in the very back if it's available. The theaters in my area have a much steeper stadium style seating. No worry about heads in the way. The back row is level with the screen, so you're not looking up at it and you can see the entire screen without having to turn your head.

[@gabbyf8924]

as someone who works in a movie theater- it’s the second or third row row the back in the center of the row

[@SavantAudiosurf]

[@andrewcooper7438]

Best seats are the 2 above the entrance, no one in front of you and no one beside you.

[@bexyPTX]

This theater is huge. Worst seat I ever sat in I think is when I sat towards the back of an absolutely massive theater that had minimal slope and I couldn't see a thing - good thing there weren't too many people in that theater because I could get up and move farther forward in the middle of the movie

[@CrazyCobraCC]

We surprised Scott Cramer with his own movie:

[@ethanriptide]

Finally some good cinema content

[@bextomoose]

My first option is always the seats right above the handicap seats so I can rest my legs on the bar, as close to the center of the row as I can get. If there are too many people there, my next option in the very top row, also in the center

[@Destanyxoxo]

This is so fun and cute. The middle seat is the correct choice. I was worried i wouldn't be able to trust your opinions anymore if you picked front row.

[@megangerdes3975]

I always choose all the way in the back and on the end, but that is due to my anxiety, only have to sit next to my fiance and don't have to be worried about anyone behind me.

[@avengedrocker5702]

my favourite seat is definitely front part but in the middle, not the front row. there's very rarely anyone in front of you to distract you. everyone else tends to sit further back to leave you alone. the screen is boom right there, feels like i'm so close i can touch, without being too close for distortion.

[@IKingPabloI]

“Thank you Scott” we all say in unison.

[@insolubleCorrosion]

when I went to see top gun maverick in theaters, it was an imax theater and the group i was with got there a little late. the only seats left were the very front right seats. let me tell you, that is NOT the viewing angle you want ever. i was so surprised by the actors' real facial proportions when I saw it on a tv 😭

[@kiiturii]

what theaters still don't have pre-booked seats lol

[@insolubleCorrosion]

@kiiturii the one i went to i guess. it's an imax in a science center, and it was free for employees so I didn't have to buy tickets or anything

[@mordo1191]

My seat of choice is always last row in the back, to the left by the stairs. Mostly because 1) Our small town theater is very small so it isn't too far from the screen, 2) I like to make a quick escape if I have to leave for the bathroom, and 3) the idea of people behind me make me anxious. This is very dependent on which theater im going to of course, but 9/10 its my local one and I always reserve those seats

[@CateForrest]

I have regal unlimited and my theater has three seating sections, the stairs go up between the three sections. I like to sit on either side front row of the upstairs area, so I can put my feet up on the wall (with shoes on!). It’s only 3-5 seats in the row depending on the theater and no one ever chooses to sit in the row with you. Another theater near me is set up like this, and I like back row of the downstairs portion. The screen feels massive, but I don’t feel like I’m looking straight up. Then no one else ever sits in the section with me.

[@ShockerTopper]

The movie theater where I spent the first 30 years of my life had seats with rail and a gap between seats like that, and I chose that spot because I loved putting my feet up. I have twice in my life had to sit in the very front row for really popular movies in the 90's/early 2000's but strangely I can't remember what it was. I remember going on a date at Irvine Spectrum with my GF at the time in freshman year of high school, and we saw that Peter Pan movie of 2004 and we literally had to sit on the steps and so did other people, it was insane because Irvine Spectrum's AMC is pretty big. I remember I let her lay on me, and despite being 5'10 and her being 5'4 with both of us skinny...my back felt like I had someone completely crack it in half. I guess I was the gentleman and let her be comfortable for my back getting crushed haha

[@ThatBlondePerson]

I remember one time going to the movies with my friends, and one of them did NOT want to sit on the end because she was so freaked out that she was gonna sit next to a murderer or something and get stabbed, idk. Eventually I was the one who decided to suck it up and sit on the end because of course that was an irrational fear, and OF COURSE the kid next to me whipped out a switchblade halfway through the film and just sat there playing with it the entire rest of the movie.

[@rohizzle]

Depends on the theater slope and screen size, but generally middle of row, upwards of room but not high up.

[@Mysteriousheadlines]

I always sit in the top row on the left side. Our theaters all have reclining seats so only about 8 rows total. When you sit in the back you typically are away from people. Any loud talkers, eaters, etc.

[@shesforgivennfree]

I still prefer the very front middle seat. Almost no one sits down there so i dont have to worry about people sitting around me. I also move the arms up on the two seats on either side and lay down to watch the movie. Or sometimes i just stretch straight out. I have crowd anxiety, so going to the movie is really hard for me.

[@Moggetslittlesister]

I had front row in the corner seats for Hunger Games Catching Fire. Definitely the worst moviegoing experience I've ever had, even though it was a great movie. My neck hurt from looking diagonally upward the whole time. I missed some of the action because everything was so warped that I couldn't tell what was going on.

[@crushworthyxo]

On my 16th birthday my mom took me and some friends to the midnight premier of Twilight: New Moon. The only seats available were near the front and all the way to the right aka the "pay me to sit here" seats. I think it was a theater with a curved screen or something because my friends and I couldn't stop laughing at the way the angle warped Taylor Lautner's face the whole movie! Yeah, never again.

[@kmart1396]

My go to is center midway back! My local theater has them big lovely recliners so not many rows and only about 10 across. Thus row B or C out of A thru E, and then either side of dead center, seat 5 or 6 because y'know 10 is an even number.

[@IsaacHND]

my dumbass thought Scott was gonna watch a WHOLE movie for every individual seat to test which one is best 😭😭

[@TheIndianJesusOfficial]

I make my own hours so I go to matinees and get a wide variety but ALWAYS choose as close to the center of the front if the back where Jenna. Not the front front where you're looking up but right by where the computer was

[@winningsince1992]

Ive never been in a theater and thought about my seat after the movie started. Yes i have my preferred place but i have sit almost everywhere in a theater and never thought about it after the lights went out

[@Chaybee12]

My perfect is by far an aisle seat right by the exit. 1. So only one person is sitting to next to me. 2. Easy out to pee. 3. Easy out to avoid crowds leaving.

[@manders8698]

Right off the bat, 100% agree with Jaden

[@jijitters]

I will always pick the middle seat, in the front row of the "back" section. Being off-center is terrible no matter the row! I want to be able to put my feet up, either on the bar or outstretched in the lounger, depending on what type of theater it is. I don't want anyone in front of me, except all those people slightly lower and further away.

[@GrippyGoth]

Bro, I sat in the front row for ONE movie and i was so excited to be so close and getting a different perspective.. my neck was killing me afterwards, lol. I was miserable the whole time and after craning my neck the whole time i was miserable afterwards too, never again..

[@Hessed3712]

I like to sit in the back because no one can cough, sneeze, or put their feet on you.

[@gh0stcup]

Most cinemas I go to in the UK have 2-4 seats on the sides against the wall with aisles between those seats and then the middle section. I like being on those sides so there's nobody right next to me and whoever I'm with, less likely to have anyone directly in front to distract or behind to kick the chair as most people prefer the back and/or middle seats, plus the wall makes me feel safe and cosy (I'm neurodivergent in case you couldn't tell)

[@imclara]

Exact same for me!

[@TheBananaApproaches]

If I remember correctly, I saw Battle of the Five Armies in the seat they should pay you to sit in. It wasn't ideal, but I just love movies so it didn't bother me that much

Depends who you’re going with and how serious you are about the movie. Watched Barbie from the back row with a group of girls, great to laugh and respectfully make comments here and there. Saw Lucy super stoned either front row or like 2nd/3rd and was fully absorbed. I don’t like seeing scary movies so if I get suckered into it with a friend I would like sitting near the aisle so the lights remind me I’m just in a movie theater. By the door always sucks
