    Based on usual cinemas id say its one of the worst places. If you have to rake you head up and can't see the full screen without shaking your head you've gotta be too close

    i did it once for the dark night as you can't book seats at the birmingham imax. Never again!
    Unfortunately you can't see the whole screen when your right at the front so you have to move your head to follow the action on the screen

    NO. At least 10 rows back. I go to the Imax in Waterloo all the time and anything nearer is a waste of time.

    Yeah in the middle and a bit back is the best place, salted or sweet though?

    Won't be booking front row seats then.

    Cheers.

    salted or sweet though?

    Not been to the cinema for years but I remember my girlfriend when I was a teenager being surprised it tasted salty

    What you going to see?

    I think that films shot in the IMAX format look fantastic, but films converted to the IMAX screen size look awful. Also fast action films tend to give you a headache as your constantly looking different directions no matter where you sit.

    I saw Dark Knight in Imax and sat at the back on the far left i.e. as far back as possible and it was still too big. As FunkyDunc says it was too fast for Imax.

    It seems a bit counter-intuitive but I'd sit as far away from the screen as you can.

    back back back!!!

    Been many times, and think near the back third is a good place to start.

    Makes for good neck comfort, especially during 4-film-zombie-all-nighter-marathons!

    Also – you can get the lift up, and arrive in style : )

    Sitting at the front severely bends your neck – no fun at all.

    A few rows from the back in the centre is best, so you get the benefits of both the picture and positioning for the surround sound.

    I saw Dark Knight on IMAX too, I thought it was awesome on that format
