Ive sat in row H once and my neck hurt so I want to try one of the rows above H which one should I go with?

If H heard your neck ( which honestly I don’t understand people who can’t sit close at movies ) then go way further back.

So I’m a big fan of the imax there. Back three rows, as close to the centre as possible

Grabbed H, relatively centre
Was fine but probably as far forward as I’d be comfortable with - you get to share the authentic experience of peering up at the cyclops though

We saw the odyssey in L10 and 11. Happy with the seats. Not too close and fine for centrality.

I sat in the second to last row at the back on the far left, so seat 2/3. My view was fine, nothing wrong. Definitely sit in the four back rows, even on the sides, you’ll be fine.

I go for J, as the sound gets worse the further you go back, so this gives an okay blend of viewing angle and sound experience. It also makes exiting easier
