I have been generally in favor of reserved seating. But there can be drawbacks as well. For instance today, I took my son to the London IMAX to watch How to Train your Dragon 2. Initially I was very happy as I reserved us great seats and of course we didn't have to turn up early as we knew we had them, therefore the journey in was stress free.
However, just before the movie a couple came in and sat next to us as you would expect as the theater was nearly full. The guy who sat next to me had the most god awful breath. More than a few times, it was noticeable.
If it weren't reserved seating, I could and would have moved elsewhere.
Good movie btw, my 9 yr old son loved it.
