Sat in the front. 5.1 mixes really need to be optimized for the theater and not the home. I was in the front row
Why did you sit in the front? Any listening space has a "sweet spot". In a theater, it's where your eyes are level with the middle of the screen. That's where the room reflections are minimal and speaker balance is best. Too close to the front, you're getting reflections bouncing off the big screen.
