My wife and I went to the First Colony AMC, luckily or not I pre-purchased the tickets. Opening night the theater was full, we had to sit in the first row, you just can't get the full impact of the special effects in the first row. This is a movie you want to see on the full screen. It definitely was intense! We'll probably see it again when the rush is over. My only advice is don't even try to watch it in the front section, they shouldn't have seats so close to begin with, felt a little cheated of all the movie had to offer. We did get there 40 minutes before the scheduled showing, wait a couple of weeks, you'll really enjoy this one!
