First IMAX experience – where should I sit?

Recommendation

Hey y’all, I need some help deciding on seats for my first IMAX experience.

I’m going to see the Michael Jackson movie again (second watch). My first time was in RPX at Regal and I loved it – especially the sound and overall immersion.

Now I’m trying IMAX with Laser for the first time and I’m stuck on seating.

In regular theaters/RPX, I usually sit around Row E because that’s like the balcony area. Or the area with the big walkway some would say. And I like the end seat!

Looking at this IMAX layout, I’m undecided on what is best:

My priorities:
- Good immersion without it feeling overwhelming
- Not having people constantly walking in front of me
- Comfortable viewing (don’t want to be craning my neck the whole time)

Since this is my first IMAX experience, what do you recommend going with?
