I do this at un-reserved theaters too. Just gotta be more flexible with your seating. Unless the theater’s absolutely packed and you get stuck at the very front, most of the seats are going to give you a good experience. It’s what the theater’s designed for.
Fair, I’m probably bit more picky I can’t stand being anywhere outside the center radius. Too close to walls bugs me because the audio volume and balance is off lol
If seated near the left wall, the sounds that should be mixed to the left side of the scene are too loud, overwhelming the whole precievable audio mix and sounding more mono than it should. Sort of loses the whole “immersive surround sound” aspect that I’m spending my dollars for.

If the balance is off, by which way? I.E if you’re seated too far to the left, will It be too loud in your left ear, or too quiet?
